Tahitian pearls have a variety of overtones that give them a unique natural body color that isn’t seen in any other pearl family. These overtones can range from light pink to dark blue. Although the primary body colors of Tahitian pearls are green and black, these overtones can create beautiful one-of-a-kind colors.
Since these overtones can pretty much be any color of the rainbow, Kyllonen Luxury has put together a detailed chart to help you distinguish between overtones when your shopping for Black pearl jewelry.
