Pendant in 18k gold with a beautiful Tahitian pearl.

Tahitian pearls

Tahitian pearls colours can vary from deep black, grey and white (from albino molluscs) to rare grass green. This one is a beautiful blue and silver one with a pink hue.

Like South Sea pearls, Tahitian pearls are saltwater pearls and are generally bigger than traditional Chinese freshwater pearls. The Tahitian pearl can also only be cultured one pearl at a time per mullosc.

Contrary to what the name might suggest, Tahiti isn’t the place where these pearls originate from. Tahitian pearls are produced in the coastal areas surrounding the French Polynesian islands.
