Black Freshwater Pearls - Five Facts to Know by Karina Paulson
Pearl jewelry is among the most elegant you can wear, yet the world of pearls is a mystery to many people.
This article will focus on black freshwater pearls, since pearls that are black are the most exotic, and freshwater pearls are the most common ones in the world.
The five facts to know about black freshwater pearls are:
1. These come from mussels which live in lakes and rivers; each
mussel can produce up to 50 pearls, as opposed to oysters which
can only produce 1 to 3 pearls each. However, the entire process
takes from 4 to 6 years.
2. Pearls produced in mussels in freshwater are naturally of a
white, peach, or pink color, or less commonly, a lavender-blue
or purple color. Due to the allure of black pearls, pearls
sometimes undergo a dye treatment which produces a black color.
3. The dye treatment creates an iridescent effect of beautiful
hues of colored light against a dark background. A black pearl
from a river or lake would have been very carefully dyed so
it "glows," or bounces back light, and has a particular shine,
or luster. The dye is permanent; it does not wear off.
4. Pearls from a river or lake have a thicker nacre than pearls
from the ocean, and are therefore more durable. You do not
have to worry about these pearls chipping or wearing down.
5. Very high quality freshwater pearls are available in today's
market at affordable prices.
Black pearls have been highly coveted since the Empress Eugenie of France began wearing them in the middle of the 19th century. Eugenie ruled supreme in the world of fashion, so before long these dark colored gems became the hallmark of sophistication throughout Europe. And why should they not be? No other jewelry lends such as mysterious air as does jewelry designed with black pearls.
Fortunately, the advanced art of culturing freshwater pearls, and the perfected process of dying them black, means you do not have to be an empress or possessed of great wealth to own black pearl jewelry. You can own jewelry designed with black freshwater pearls and know you are wearing jewelry that is very high quality, elegant, and alluring.
