While I own several pearl necklaces and pearl earrings, I haven't previously owned any in this color.  When I opened the pouch that it arrived in, I was immediately happy with what I saw.  Peacock Black is the perfect name for the color.  It is a dark black/silver, but also shows some green and purple depending on the lighting and angle.  The size of it is very nice; noticeable, but not gaudy and the sterling silver setting is attractive.  The only two minor downfalls of this necklace are that the way the chain goes through the pendant, sometimes it doesn't lay flat or even and the sterling silver chain is somewhat thin and inexpensive looking.  Even with those two issues, I'm still very pleased and wouldn't have a problem suggesting this a gift or just a special something for yourself.  *I've uploaded a couple pictures into the customer images.
