Tahitian pearls, often referred to as black pearls, are stunning gems with a unique and captivating beauty. Unlike their name suggests, they don’t exclusively come in black but are found in a wide range of dark and vibrant colours, including grey, silver, green, blue, and even peacock hues. These pearls are primarily cultured in French Polynesia, specifically in the warm waters surrounding the islands of Tahiti.

What distinguishes Tahitian pearls is their natural colour diversity and intriguing iridescence. Each pearl possesses a distinctive blend of shades and overtones, making them truly remarkable and highly prized in the world of jewellery. The colour variations of Tahitian pearls are derived from the Pinctada margaritifera oyster, which secretes layers of nacre with unique pigments.
