[Since our factory produces and manufactures our pearls in-house, all sizes are limited.] Because pearls take time to harvest, some sizes may be temporarily out of stock due to sell-outs or changes in seawater and aquaculture conditions. For this reason, some styles may be temporarily out of stock. Please inquire about product availability before ordering. Our pearls vary depending on the variety. South Sea Tahitian pearls are sourced from the Tahiti region and crafted in professional jewelry workshops in China, ensuring consistent quality and exquisite craftsmanship, perfectly showcasing the pearl's natural luster and charm. About Tahitian Pearls Geographic Origin and Cultured Shellfish: Tahitian pearls are primarily produced in French Polynesia, where a few islands offer a tranquil environment suitable for pearl cultivation. Although Tahiti is the capital, pearl production is spread across many of the islands of French Polynesia. Tahitian pearls are cultured from the black lipped oyster (Pinctada margaritifera), which has a black lip. Color Variety: Although Tahitian pearls are often called "black pearls" and were once made famous by Elizabeth Taylor, most Tahitian cultured pearls are not pure black. They range in color from silver, medium gray, dark gray, to very dark gray, and rarely, pure black. The most striking feature of Tahitian pearls is their diverse overtones, or iridescence. Common overtones: When a pearl's body color is dark gray with pink and green iridescence, it is often referred to in the trade as "peacock." A pearl with a strong yellow-green iridescence may be called "pistachio." Other overtones include lagoon, pale golden gray, Morandi, and even violet. These shifting overtones, combined with the body color, create a unique and romantic hue. Size and nacre thickness: Tahitian cultured pearls come in a wide range of sizes. Their nacre thickness is typically at least 1 mm and can reach 3 mm or more. Luster characteristics: Tahitian pearls can have a beautiful mirror-like luster. Some Tahitian pearls can even exhibit a stunning metallic luster. Luster is one of the most important factors in determining a pearl's quality and value. Notes for beginners Luster first: Luster is the most important factor to consider when purchasing Tahitian pearls. Luster is key to a pearl's unique beauty and elegance. Luster is determined by observing the clarity and sharpness of light reflections on a pearl's surface. The clearer and sharper the reflections, the better the luster. Even if other aspects of a pearl, such as its shape or surface, are imperfect, a pearl with excellent luster can still be highly valuable. Color and Overtones: Tahitian pearls come in a wide variety of colors. In addition to their body color (silver, gray, black), their overtones (peacock, pistachio, etc.) are their unique value. Pearls with multiple overtones (or play of color) significantly increase their value. Size and Rarity: Tahitian pearls can grow to very large sizes, even exceeding 20 mm. When they reach 12 mm or 15 mm or larger, are symmetrical or rounded in shape, and exhibit multiple overtones, their value is particularly high. Shape Considerations: While perfectly round Tahitian pearls are highly valued, they are particularly valuable when the difference between their largest and smallest diameters is within 2%, as defined by the Tahitian Pearl Association. However, it's very difficult for pearls to grow into a perfectly round shape within an oyster, especially as they grow larger. Shape doesn't necessarily determine the upper limit of a pearl's price. A symmetrical teardrop or a unique baroque shape, if well-preserved and well-matched, can also be very valuable. For beginners, pearls that appear round to the naked eye are sufficient. Don't overly pursue "perfect roundness," as even slight variations in diameter are difficult to discern with the naked eye. 💡Wearing and Care Tips ・It is recommended to wear your pearls last and take them off first to avoid direct contact with perfume and skincare products. ・Pearls are organic gemstones; please avoid contact with alcohol, acids, or prolonged exposure to sunlight. ・Gently wipe the surface of your pearls with a clean, soft cloth after daily wear. ・Avoid rubbing against hard objects or dropping them to extend their lifespan.
