Pearls are the lustrous and exquisite pieces added to jewelries for a more sophisticated appeal. Unlike stones and minerals which are produced by the land through pressure and heat, pearls are products of live creatures living in the sea. Pearls are produced either by mussels or oysters. It comes in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors.
However, there is one kind of pearl that deserves to be set apart from all other pearls. Tahitian pearls are the black pearls which have greater value than the regular black pearls. This is because Tahitian pearls are difficult to produce in large scales. The mollusks that produce the Tahitian pearl are difficult to culture as it has high sensitivity. The nucleus that is inserted in the mollusks are usually rejected which causes the failure of the culturing process. It is therefore a rare type of pearl.
Tahitian pearls were initially used by Polynesians as part of their aesthetic material. Its popularity emerged as Europeans discovered Tahiti and opened the trade for these beautiful and rare works of nature. After the Tahitian pearls were marketed, the production decreased.
Today, Tahitian pearls are famous for its timeless appeal in pieces of jewelries. Though they are rare and expensive, many people are still captured by the beauty of the Tahitian pearls. They’re black and shiny and most importantly, they’re unlike the usual pearls that are available in the market. Black Tahitian pearls are timeless. Its luster will never be lost for the years to come.
