Me encantan las mejores perlas negras ,son muy misteriosos.

I love black pearls the best, they are very mysterious.

--

Black pearls are made by a species of oyster called Pinctada Margaritifera, commonly known as the black-lipped oyster. This oyster appears in the South Pacific. Historically most black pearls came from Tahiti, and they are therefore known as Tahitian black pearls. In recent years, however, both nearby Kiribati and the Cook Islands have begun producing black pearls, accounting for 3-4% of the world’s supply.
