Are white or black pearls more valuable?
Answer There is no simple answer to this question as it really depends on the type of pearl you are discussing. The most common types of pearls are cultured akoya and cultured freshwater. Neither of these are naturally produced in a black coloration. Black akoya and freshwater attain their coloration from aniline organic dyes or cobalt-60 irradiation. Natural black pearls are known as black South Sea, Tahitian or Cook Island pearls. They are produced by the Pinctada margaritifera black-lip mollusk. These naturally black pearls grow quite large are are typically more valuable than akoya or freshwater pearls. The most valuable of all pearls are those grown in the Pinctada maxima or silver and gold-lip mollusk. These pearls are usually very larger and expensive, and come in colors of white, white with pink overtone, champagne, silver, yellow and gold.
What colors can pearls be?
Pearls can be white, yellow, pink, greenish-black, blue, black, purple, and all the shades in between. Most pearls are white or sometimes light pink. Black is the rarest color of pearl; most black pearls are dyed black, but Tahitian pearls come black. Black pearls, however, generally have a greenish, pinkish, blueish, or other colored tint to them. Pearls can be many shapes, including round, oval, button-shaped, baroque (with ripples), or stick-shaped. Hope this helped!
