Product Description
Japan is widely regarded as the the premier source for the finest quality pearls in the world. In fact, it is here that Mikimoto invented his first cultured pearl; an invention that brought forth a whole industry. Because Japan has been harvesting pearls for over a century, Japanese Akoya cultured pearls have the finest luster in the world. Among this production from the Japanese Akoya oyster are white, grey, creme and even blue pearls. However, black pearls are never seen. The only source for natural color black pearls are the Tahitian islands that are a part of French Polynesia. However, these black Tahitian South Sea Cultured pearls are not available in the smaller sizes. As such, the inventive Japanese pearl farmers have come up with a process to enhance their pearls to make them black. This method is known as a French Dye, a process that includes soaking the pearls in a secret coloring solution. The color of the pearls is guaranteed for life by American Pearl and the Japan Pearl Exporter's Association. Black Japanese Akoya Cultured Pearls are very popular and usually only found in the finest jewelry stores within Japan. Known for their steel-like sharp reflections, these pearls have a truly mystical look where the pearls capture the light and delivers it back in a mysterious incandescent glow. To order, please customize your length below and choose either an 18K yellow gold or 18K white gold clasp.

Very nice
By Jack Dempsey
You would be foolish to pass this up at this price. Fantastic bargain, almost worth getting three or four of these babies just for the savings. And, when you give them as a gift, boy-howdy do they make an impression. Very good for the "hey, you owe me one" department. Get your own today.
