Tahitian (Black Pearl) Necklace

Pearl necklace with 14k Gold clasp and diamonds

Tahitian pearls are the only pearls in the world that are naturally black. Rare, exotic, and luxurious, Tahitian pearls are produced by the Pinctada margaritifera oyster native to Tahiti and the French Polynesian islands. These saltwater oysters can grow as large as a dinner plate, resulting in pearls that range from 8 to 18 mm in size. Tahitian pearls come in an array of colours, from silver to deep black, with shades of green, blue, and peacock. Through its beauty, its exceptional charm and its mystery, this magical gem from the sea has attracted many admirers.
