About this Tahitian pearl

Here you can see a rare Tahitian cultured pearl that was engraved with Polynesian symbols. Its color is a mixture between a white tip and a gray-green which symbolizes the color of most pearls harvested in Polynesia. But its size with the engraved symbols make it unique!

The guide

Choosing your Tahitian pearl

Each Tahitian cultured pearl is unique: it is very difficult to obtain perfectly identical pairs. Several criteria however, define its value.

  • Color — from darkest to lightest, even golden, in shades of green, blue, or aubergine.
  • Shape — round, semi-round, semi-baroque, baroque, or keshi with unique shapes.
  • Size — primarily 8 to 14 mm, sometimes up to 18 mm for round pearls.
  • Lust — a round pearl can lose value if its luster is dull.

Aftercare

Caring for your Tahitian pearl

Your pearl is produced by a living organism, the black-lipped pearl oyster. Made of nacre, it requires some care: avoid perfume, alcohol, chemicals, hairspray, soapy water, and chlorine.

Do not mix your pearl with other jewelry to avoid scratching it. Wipe it with a damp chamois cloth, or wear it regularly: contact with the skin rehydrates it and helps it retain its luster.
