Tahitian pearls are long known as symbols of luxury. They are also known for their exquisite beauty and perfection. These "creation of the sea" or "queen of pearls" stir the imagination with thoughts of tropical splendor, romance and beauty.

Tahitian pearls are named for the South Seas island of Tahiti. A certain type of black-lipped oyster produces the variety of iridescent black, gray and greenish black pearls.
