Grown in the pristine, coral fringed waters of Pohnpei, these pearls represent an industry standard for quality. Pearls are the only gem produced by an animal and, unlike precious stones, are not mined. Black pearls are grown in harmony with nature, without damaging the environment.
Each pearl is graded to Gemological Institute of America Standards - the highest standard of pearl grading in the world - and is guaranteed to be natural and untreated in any way.
Producing beautiful black pearls requires a unique relationship between the farmer and the environment. True black pearls are only produced by the black-lip pearl oyster (pinctada margaritifera) which occur in abundance in Pohnpei's crystal clear tropical lagoons. The pearl production process begins when a highly skilled technician gently "seeds" the oyster to make a pearl. Mother nature and the loving care of the farmer then do the rest. The newly formed pearl grows inside the oyster, laying down layer after layer of lustrous nacre for a minimum of 18 months before it is harvested.
Black pearls are not always black in color but can be silver, gray, and even white. The distinct mother of pearl characteristics of black-lip pearl oysters produces pearls in a myriad of colors and hues, making every pearl unique, and is responsible for the so-called "peacock" colors found only in black pearls. The distinct characteristic of the oyster also creates pearls in many different shapes so that only a small percentage are actually round.
