Black pearls can be divided into two groups, black pearls with natural dark colour and dyed black pearls. The only type of black pearl that is naturally coloured black or any other dark shade is the Tahitian pearl. Most of the time when people talk about rare black pearl, they are talking about Tahitian pearl.
But you can also have freshwater black pearls. Freshwater pearls are usually colored white, cream or pink by nature. However, freshwater pearls can be dyed to achieve other shades including black.
Black Akoya pearls also do not have a natural colour which is white, cream or pinkish in Akoya pearls. Black Akoya pearls are also dyed. Dyeing is a common practice in pearl cultivation. If you want a black pearl that hasn’t been dyed and formed naturally, choose a Tahitian pearl.

Are black pearls really black?
There's a common misconception that a black pearl is truly jet black. In reality, these are pearls with dark tones that may include shades of gray, green, blue, purple, or bronze – and they’re rarely completely black.
Black pearl – a symbol of elegance and originality
Black pearls are divided into two groups – naturally colored and dyed pearls. The only black pearl with a completely natural color is the Tahitian pearl, originating from the lagoons of French Polynesia. Other black pearls, whether freshwater or saltwater, are dyed to achieve the desired dark tone while preserving their natural luster and quality.
Cultivating black pearls requires exceptional care and precise conditions. In the case of Tahitian pearls, the black pearl grows inside the Pinctada margaritifera oyster, which produces pearls with a thick nacre layer and a beautiful metallic sheen.
The size of black pearls usually ranges from 8 to 15 mm. Smaller pearls appear elegant and mysterious, while larger ones stand out as bold and luxurious.
