Tahitian Pearl Necklaces
Tahitian Pearl Necklaces
The second most valuable pearls, second only to South Sea Pearls. These exotic iridescent pearls are the only naturally black pearls, and even then they are rarely dark enough to be actually black. They have the most amazing range of colours from pistachio green, to silver to grey and peacock blue and can grow to around 18mm in diameter which is huge.
As the name suggests they grow in the lovely warm waters of French Polynesia and come from the black-lipped oyster.
