Description
Although most people are used to seeing white pearls, pearls are actually available in natural rainbow colors. The primary determinant of pearl color is the species of mollusks that produce them. For cultured pearls implanted with a bead to begin the nacre producing process, the color of pearl may also depend on the color of the bead as well as the origin of the tissue inserted with the bead. The color of the bead may show through the layers of nacre thereby influencing the color of the pearl. Because the implanted tissue secretes nacre, the tissue origin also affects the color of the pearl. For example, if the tissue is from a region that secreted black nacre, the pearl created will also be black. Last, trace elements present in the water, such as iron, magnesium or aluminum may also affect the pearl color.
Each pearl is a complex layering of color. The body color is defined as the dominant overall color of a pearl. The overtone or secondary color, may be one or more translucent colors that appear over a pearl's body color. To observe the overtone in a white pearl, place the pearl on a white background under direct light. The outside ring of the pearl will reflect the white background but the overtone will appear in the dark area in the middle area of the pearl. For dark pearls, the overtones will appear in the lighter areas of the pearl when placed under light.
The color does not affect the quality of a pearl, but it may affect the perceived beauty of the pearl according to individual preferences. At Eliana, we occasionally offer rare colors that may be available on a limited basis. Extremely rare colors may be priced higher and unusual pearl colors such as blue may be auctioned at Sotheby's or Christie's. Some colors are more popular than others in particular markets. For example, white pearls are the most popular in America while silver colors are more sought after in Asia.
