Tahitian Pearls
Tahitian pearls are the extraordinary, dark colored pearls you will see on occasion.
These black pearls are created by the black lipped version of the Pinctada Maximus oyster. Similar to the white colored south seas pearls, these are harder to cultivate, leading to more scarcity and higher prices. However, the price may be well worth paying, as tahitian pearls tend to be extremely large, round, and have a striking black tone.

If the prices are too much, but you are a set on a dark pearl, we recommend looking at artificially colored freshwater pearls.
