Buy Tahitian Pearls
Luxurious, Exotic & Expensive
Tahitian pearls, as they are commonly known, come from Black-Lipped oyster which is generally found French Polynesia, the Micronesian Islands, the Cook Islands and sometimes the Philippines, Thailand and Japan where they are especially farmed for the worldwide market. On first sight it would appear that these exotic pearls come from the island of Tahiti. However, Tahiti is just a central trading zone for the islands that produce them.
Many talk about ‘black’ pearls but the truth is they have varied colour range. In the world of pearls, the Tahitian variety is fairly new and have only become popular since around the 1950s. They have natural dark appearance and have now become some of the most expensive on the market. Because of the enormous colour changes from pearl to pearl, putting a strand of like pearls together is a major challenge.
How Do Tahitian Pearls Compare With Other Pearls?
The Black-Lipped oyster is the only one of its type to naturally produce black pearls. Compared to black freshwater and black Akoya pearls their colour is completely natural - the former are often dyed artificially. Tahitian pearls are regarded as the second most valuable pearls on the market and are generally bead-nucleated with a very thick nacre.
Tahiti Pearls - Colors, Shapes & Sizes
These are some of the largest pearls to be found with only South Sea pearls found to be larger. They come in an extraordinary range of different, irridescent colors and are the only pearls that cover the full colour spectrum. The oyster from which they come is notable for its rainbow-like shell interior. Tahitian pearls therefore, reflect these beautiful colors like no other.
As they are bead-nucleated, the pearls are more often than not round or close to it. Others come in baroques, drops or circle shapes and are on average are between 9mm and 14mm in size. There have been some incredibly rare finds of over 20mm.
Rarity and Value
Without a doubt beautiful Tahitian pearls are some of most stunning and valuable cultured pieces of jewelry on the market. They tend to be worth more than both Akoya and freshwater pearls but due to deregulation of the island farming groups, market forces have come into action and these days Tahitian pearls while still expensive, have become very affordable to larger parts of the market.
Interestly, only as recently as 10 years, if you bought a perfect strand of these pearls at $100,000, experts would have said you had a bargain. Today, however this type of piece can be found for under $5,000.
