Tahitian Pearl and South Sea Pearl
Better known throughout the world as Black Pearls, cultured Tahitian Pearls are indigenous to the lagoons of French Polynesia in the South Seas. The only pearls in the world that are naturally black, Tahitian Pearls are grown in the large black lipped oyster Pinctada Margaritifera. These saltwater oysters can grow as large as 12 inches in diameter and produce pearls typically ranging in sizes from 8 to 18mm. With the skillful efforts of Japanese cultivation experts, the first Tahitian pearls were cultured in the 1960s.
Contrary to popular belief, Tahitian pearls are not cultivated in Tahiti, but rather throughout the waters of French Polynesia as far east as the Gambier Islands and west into the Micronesian Islands. As French Polynesia most well known island, Tahiti remains the commercial center and trading hub for these rare and exotic Black Tahitian Pearls.
Tahitian Pearls are not simply lack?as they are commonly called, but are rather more accurately represented by a rainbow of colors including shades of gray, silver, charcoal, and green just to name a few. Many stories and legends exist in Tahiti to explain how the pearls?iridescent and entrancing colors came to be. The four basic shapes of Tahitian pearls include round, semi-baroque, baroque, and circled. As with other pearl types, rounder pearls exhibiting a high luster with fewer flaws command premium prices. In addition, special color combinations such as peacock?and istachio?carry a higher value because of their rarity.

Cultivated in the waters off Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar, Japan and Thailand, the South Sea Pearl is the most rare and valuable among cultured pearls. The South Sea Pearl typically ranges in size between 10 to 20mm with the average pearl measuring 11 to 14mm. Produced in the rather large oyster Pinctada Maxima, the culturing process of the South Sea Pearl is more extensive as compared to other cultured pearls. The oysters used are a wild species and supply for cultivation is never certain. In addition, the South Sea Pearl oysters are nurtured in isolated bays of the purest waters, far away from industrial areas.
Depending on the variety of the Pinctada Maxima oyster, these exceptionally rare and extraordinary South Sea pearls come in different lustrous colors. The silver lipped oyster produces pearls in the white, silver, aqua, and blue family of overtones, while the gold lipped oyster pearls exude cream, champagne, vanilla, and deeper golden tones. The natural colors of South Sea Pearls are truly rich and beautiful and need no enhancement to bring out their soft satin-like glow.
The legacy of the South Sea Pearl goes back thousands of years when early Australians used oyster shells, along with the pearls found in them, not only as decorations for their tribal costumes but also as currency to trade for food and tools. With the arrival of the European explorers in the 16th and 17th centuries, the South Sea Pearl became a precious global commodity. In high demand by the 18th century, over-harvesting lead to near extinction of the South Sea Pearl producing oyster. By the 1930s strict regulations were imposed to protect the industry and it wasn until the 1950s that South Sea Pearl farms began producing harvests of commercial value.
