The Tahitian black pearl, beauty queen of the Polynesian seabed jewels, is the stuff of dreams for women the world over. Legend has it that the Tahitian black pearl is none other than the gift of the god of war and fertility, Oro, to the Polynesians.

A jewel of the seas
All the beauty and splendor of Polynesian waters are concentrated in the Tahitian black pearl, an exceptional jewel born of the union between mother-of-pearl and the marine elements. This treasure, the fruit of harmony between animal and mineral, is born in the calm, crystal-clear lagoons of Tahiti and Her Islands. For nacre to produce this dazzling pearl, it is essential that it evolves in a healthy, peaceful environment, far from stress, to give birth to a true marvel.

A masterpiece of Nature and Man
The Tahitian black pearl is a cultured pearl, requiring expert human intervention through a meticulous technique known as grafting. This process requires skill and patience, and is the fruit of a subtle collaboration between nature and man, who together reveal the full splendor of this gem. Each pearl is unique, and its mysterious brilliance bears witness to the care and attention lavished on its cultivation.

An incredible treasure
An essential emblem of Polynesian wealth, the black pearl alone embodies an important heritage. To celebrate this heritage, a museum in Papeete is dedicated to it, tracing its history, the different production techniques and the legends that surround it. Although its many facets can be discovered, it retains an air of mystery and magic that continues to captivate and amaze the world.
