Factors Affecting the Black Tahitian Pearl Price

The price of Tahitian Black Pearl differs greatly depending on some major quality factors. Knowing these will help you make the right choice when purchasing a June birthstone online:

Nacre Quality

How thick and of what quality the nacre (the layers used to build the Pearl) is determines everything. Thick, shiny nacre gives the Black South Sea Pearls that deep glow and strength. Thin nacre Pearls may seem dull and blotchy.

Lustre

This is quite possibly the most significant factor. Tahitian Pearls are famous for their strong, metallic lustre. A high-lustre Moti should have crisp, keen reflections across its surface. The brighter and more reflective the lustre, the higher the Tahitian Pearls Stone Prices.

Carat Weight

Larger Black South Sea Pearls are more difficult to find and take longer to cultivate, hence the higher price per carat.

Shape

Although round Tahitian Black Pearls are the most valuable and rare, the Pearls occur in all kinds of exquisite shapes, such as oval, drop, button, and baroque. The more spherical, the more valuable.

Colour & Overtone

Although the body colour is dark, the special overtones of green, peacock, blue, silver, and purple that glimmer on the surface strongly influence value. Peacock colour, which is a combination of green, purple, and blue, is usually the most valuable and expensive.

Surface Quality

Natural Pearls will have some minor marks and subtle blemishes. Fewer and less prominent blemishes on the surface point to greater quality and a higher Tahitian Black Pearl price.

Origin

Genuine Tahitian Pearls originate solely from the islands of French Polynesia. This variety of Kala Mukta is desirable, rare, and highly valuable.

Treatment

The most valuable are natural, untreated Black Tahitian Moti gemstones. Be careful of dyed Pearls that result in a black appearance, as they will not have the same natural attractiveness or astrological qualities. Always seek certification for a natural colour.

Black Tahitian Pearl Price in India

The cost of a natural and authentic Tahitian pearl in India can begin at approximately ₹500 per carat. The price can also increase based on quality factors, including surface quality, nacre, origin, colour, clarity, shape, and more. The Tahitian pearl stone prices can go higher for exceptional, large, perfectly round, and highly lustrous pearls with preferred overtones.

Care & Cleaning of Tahitian Black Pearl Jewellery

To keep the mysterious beauty and astrological energy of your black pearl intact for future generations, it must be cared for properly:

• Last On, First Off: Wear your Tahitian Black Pearl necklace or earrings only after putting on makeup, perfume, hairspray, and lotions, as these chemicals will dull the lustre of the Pearl. Take them off before doing any heavy activity or when you are exposed to strong chemicals.
• Gentle Cleaning: Gently wipe your Pearls with a soft, damp cloth after every wear to remove body oils and dirt. Use lukewarm water and a very mild, non-detergent soap, such as baby shampoo, for proper cleaning. Make sure to rinse the gemstone and dry it properly with a clean and soft cloth.
• Avoid Harsh Substances: Never subject your Tahitian Pearls to harsh chemicals, acids, alcohol, or ultrasonic cleaners because these can ruin the soft nacre. Stay away from prolonged direct sunlight or excessive heat exposure.
• Separate Storage: Keep your Black South Sea Pearls apart from other jewellery in a soft cloth pouch or a fabric-covered jewellery box to avoid scratching them. Pearls need a little bit of humidity, so keep them away from very dry places such as safety deposit boxes for extended periods.
