The Tahitian Pearl

There are many legends as to where pearls come from. Some say they spring from a drop of rain or dew, others tell how they are conceived in the mind of a mythical creature, and yet others assert that they are the tears of either Adam, Eve, angels or nymphs. I don’t know which one I prefer.

As far as I’m concerned, the gift that the God Oro gave to Polynesia is most certainly the mother-of-pearl. The black-lipped oyster is a veritable treasure, an oyster that sets itself apart from all others, with its dark black body that gives its range of infinite colours in order to create the prettiest pearls on earth…

The colours range from the darkest black to clear gray to greenish-pink or gold. The Tahitian Pearl remains rare and unique. We cultivated and selected the most beautiful ones for you…
