Bought this yesterday because I couldn’t help myself I see that Jeremy has collected some. Is the “ black “ pearl a Tahitian pearl ? It was my understanding that these were used to display Akoya growth and colors ..
Tempted to take it apart because I love the black one ; stunning color ..leaning blue.

Cool find! I think those are all akoya pearls. "Black" pearls are any pears that are not "white." So, that "black" akoya pearl looks blue to me, too.

@Tropicalpearl how lucky were you to acquire that? Amazing collection!

The 'black' pearl indeed looks blue to me, too. Aren't blue akoyas called natural grey in Japan?

They are all Akoya. I have a small version of this as well,
