Questions About Antique Black Pearl
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
    Yes, some black pearls are real pearls. Genuine black pearls typically come from Tahiti, sourced from black-lip pearl oysters. Some jewelry features synthetic black pearls created in laboratories. Explore a selection of black pearl jewelry from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Because black pearls only form when sand is trapped in a specific type of oyster, the Tahitian black-lipped Pinctada, they are very rare. Black pearls occur once in every 10,000 pearls.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    What black pearls symbolize is largely a matter of personal opinion. Some people associate them with mystery due to their color. Others believe they represent mental strength, wealth or freedom. You'll find a variety of black pearl jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024
    The process of telling an antique pearl varies based on whether it is set in jewelry or loose. In the case of jewelry, you can look for a maker's mark and then conduct online research to find out when the company existed and made similar pieces. To be considered an antique, pearl jewelry must be at least 100 years old. In the case of a loose pearl or if you have difficulty performing research on your item, experts recommend consulting a certified appraiser, knowledgeable jeweler or experienced antique dealer. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of antique pearl jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Because the dark color of tahitian black pearls makes them so exotic, they can be more valuable. Depending on quality and size a strand can cost between $500 and $25000.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024
    Some antique pearls are worth money. How much a particular piece is worth depends on its age, style, type, maker and condition. The majority of antique pearls are likely to be uncultured pearls, as Kokichi Mikimoto didn't introduce the world's first true cultured pearl, produced by oysters with assistance from humans, until 1893. Generally, uncultured pearls are worth more than cultured ones. To learn more about your jewelry and find out what it could be worth, consult a certified appraiser, experienced jeweler or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of antique pearl jewelry.
