Precious Tahitian Pearls

Tahitian pearls are becoming the most commonly used type of pearl in jewelry making. These precious natural wonders are now commonly seen hanging in the bodies of women in the whole world. Tahitian pearls can be seen hanging as earrings, necklace, bracelet or rings. They can also be seen as decorations on pins and certain head dresses. What makes these pearls unique and exquisite?

Produced in the exotic waters around the island of Tahiti, there is a class of this pearl that is the rarest among all other pearls in the world. The black pearl is considered one of the most expensive and hardest to find pearl. Because of its rarity, the perfectly round black pearl gained value.

But, aside from a perfectly round shape, Tahitian pearls also come in other shapes. There can be semi-round pearls, semi-baroque or pearls with unusual shapes but still have certain points of rotation, ringed or circled pearls that have unusual streaks or rings around the body, and baroque pearls or those with very unusual shapes. Because of these different shapes, these pearls can be used in an array of options and can create various designs and patterns.

Aside from varying shapes, Tahitian pearls can also be produced in different colors. Not to be mistaken, there is still no way of manually producing different colors. These colors are naturally produced by the oysters that the pearls came from. The colors may range from white, grays, black, green and purple. These characteristics give Tahitian pearls their current state in the industry of pearl cultivation.
