Few of Earth's offerings are as exotic and romantic as
Tahitian South Sea cultured pearls. What is so special
about South Sea pearls? Both their name and appearance
bring to mind images of swaying palm trees, crystal blue
Pacific waters, luaus, and fragrant plumeria. They range in
color from light aquamarine to coal green-black. Also,
South Sea pearls are notable for their larger shape, a
characteristic which makes them particularly luxurious kind
of jewelry.
These pearls are luminous and reflect light like a bulb
on the Christmas tree. They have a very deep color and
reflect light in shades of green blue and black. The
light reflected by these pearls is with an internal glow
that makes them very captivating.
South Sea pearls are actually created by the black-lipped
oyster, one of the largest species of oysters in the
mollusk family. This is why these pearls are larger than
normal pearls.
The cultured "black" pearls are so luminous, round, and
gorgeous in their coloring that they almost appear
factory-made. Although designated as "black", Tahitian
pearls actually come in a variety of shades, including
those mentioned above, as well as purple and cream.
Undertones can be red, blue, or green. If you combined all
the shades together in a mosaic or photograph, you'd have
a multicolored palette of tropical deep sea colors.
Tahitian pearls are a rare variety of pearls. They are
found in the seas of French Polynesia and are very
expensive. If you are on a tight budget then you may buy
a variety that may be a little lower in quality, but
still will be round and shiny. After all a Tahitian pearl
is exotic and one of the rare species of pearl available
in the world.
