Tahiti-Pearls

The warm waters of the South Seas for many thousands of years have nurtured a great marvel, the “Pinctada margaritifera”, Cumingi variety, named for the biologist who classified it in 1820. This mother of pearl is unique due to its exceptionally pure lagoon habitat, which brings out an incomparable natural colour range that is passed on to cultured pearls as well, thereby creating real jewels. Tahitian pearls have become a symbol of elegance and beauty throughout the world. Whether perfectly round in shape, or romantically pear shaped, or with baroque or modern shapes, and in colours of shimmering green known as “fly’s wing”, aubergine, blue tinged, reddish-bronze, pinkish or more simply just steel grey, they have an iridescent lustre and orient that charms the eye. Every visitor desires to take home a Tahiti pearl as a souvenir, as the symbol of those fleeting and unforgettable moments spent on vacation in the South Seas. Every woman has always had the secret wish to possess a pearl, the pearl, the jewel of the thousand and one nights, that contains a touch of magic, symbolizing great charm and perfection.
