Tahitian black pearls are a specialty of salt lakes in French Polynesia, South Pacific. They are exceptionally precious and are known as the Queen's Pearl and the Queen of Pearls.
Tahitian pearls, also known as black pearls, are treasures found in the black lipped pearl oysters that grow in the waters of Tahiti, French Polynesia. This unique sea area provides unique conditions for the growth of pearls. However, the cultivation process of Tahitian pearls is quite difficult. The cultivation of pearl oysters not only has a long cycle, but is also prone to death. In addition, factors such as weather and water quality make these pearls particularly precious. Therefore, Tahitian pearls are known as the "Queen's Pearl" and the "Queen of Pearls".
🌍 Place of Origin
Tahitian black pearls are mainly produced in the Tahiti Islands of French Polynesia, where 95% of the world's Tahitian black pearls originate.
📏 size
The size of Tahitian pearls is usually between 8 millimeters and 18 millimeters, which is larger than ordinary freshwater pearls and saltwater pearls and has greater ornamental value.
✨ gloss
High quality Tahitian pearls have a strong luster, with a rounded surface, and even some high-quality black pearls have a luster so strong that they can reflect human figures. When turning the pearl, the accompanying color and halo will be very noticeable.
🖤 color
The color tone of Tahitian pearls is mainly black, but not completely pure black. Instead, they are accompanied by other bright colors such as peacock green, deep purple, sea blue, etc. Each pearl's color is unique. These accompanying colors and luster together constitute the unique charm of Tahitian pearls, making each pearl appear extremely precious.
💔 flaw
Pearls often have defects such as needle marks, threads, and dents on their surface, which can affect their quality and price. The number of perfect Tahitian black pearls is extremely small.
🌈 shape
Let's not worry about the price of irregular pearls for now. All other conditions being equal, the closer the price is to a regular circle, the higher the price.
