Black Pearl Set – Black Pearl Necklace
The Black Pearl may have been a ship in a movie but the black pearls in a black pearl necklace come from the South pacific islands and are often called South Sea Pearls or Tahitian Pearls.
They can look quite splendid especially in a tastefully made black pearl necklace which shows off the skin tone and the dress. A black pearl necklace is the basic black of jewelry and will go with most designs and fashions.
When looking for a black pearl necklace there are some things to keep in mind.
Black pearls come in a range of sizes as well as qualities. The size, quantity and quality will depend largely on your budget. The more you can spend the bigger and more pearls you can get for the necklace. However you may not want large pearls of course. The shape and thickness of the neck is important so that you pick the size that is right for you. If one’s neck is on the thin size too big pearls will emphasis the thinness of the neck. While too small a set of pearls on a thicker neck will look tiny and out of place.
Also when you are inspecting the necklace, check that the pearls are uniform in color, luster and size. There should be no uneven pearls and all should be the same shape, either round or perhaps slightly oval in some cases.
The luster should be good and you should also get a certificate to state the pearls are genuine and not fake.
Black pearls are among the most expensive and so you should choose with care for the money you are paying.

It is important that you do some due diligence and some window shopping before you make a decision. Do not just buy the first black pearl necklace that is shown to you.
Keeping in mind the above points will help you to get a black pearl necklace which is long lasting and suites you to a T.
Hilary Swank and Demi Moore at Abu Dhabi film festival – Yahoo! Asia News
ABU DHABI (AFP) – – Hilary Swank and Demi Moore starred for the United States at the opening of the Third Middle East Film Festival in the UAE capital on Thursday, while a host of Arab performers shared the spotlight.
Swank, in a long white gown by Lebanese designer Elie Saab, and Moore, wearing a simple black dress enhanced by a necklace of black pearls and diamonds, won rapturous applause as they walked up the red carpet into the luxurious Emirates Palace Hotel.
The festival opened with the movie “The Traveller”, directed by Egyptian director Ahmed Maher and starring Omar Sharif, Khalid Abdel Nabi and Cyrine Abdelnour, previously shown at the Venice Film Festival last month.
Sharif missed the festival opening ceremony but Abdelnour, a Lebanese actress in her first starring role, joined other guests for a gala evening on the hotel’s floodlit seafront terrace, where champagne flowed freely.
Frida Pinto, star of Indian film Slumdog Millionaire, was among international visitors clad in evening gown or dinner jacket who moved among Emirati men in long white dishdashes and women in black dresses.
Actors and actresses from Egypt, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey joined the throng at the opening of the festival, which aims to highlight regional cinema and has films by Egyptian, Iraqi and Palestinian directors on the programme.
The festival awarded a special “Black Pearl” award to British actress Vanessa Redgrave for her life’s work. Hilary Swank presented the award to Redgrave’s husband, Italian actor Franco Nero.
The festival lineup is headed by “Son of Babylon”, a movie about an Iraqi boy set in the aftermath of Saddam Hussein’s fall.
