Pearls have infinite colours!

            In the past Tahitians only found pearls in oysters that they had originally collected for many different purposes. Inhabitants of Tahiti and her islands collected these oysters so they could use it shells for buttons and if they were lucky it would be gifted with a unique find, a fine pearl. These pearls were of a high rarity and so were very costly.

            The legend goes that Cartier, at the end of the 19th century, bought the building in which it is located currently on 5th Avenue in New York, by selling a single necklace of black pearls. It shows how high valued Tahitian Black Pearls were already 200 years ago.

            Adventure novels are awash with stories that speak of pearls and their mysterious charms … Jack London, Hermann Melville, John Steinbeck, Robert Louis Stevenson, Henry de Monfreid, Albert Londres, have all written captivating stories about pearls.

The symbol of elegance and beauty througout the world: The Tahitian Black Pearl

            If numerous legends attribute mysterious origins to the pearl, a teardrop of a rose that fell into an open shell the night of a full moon, or tears of a goddess … the reality is a little more mundane, its is more likely the intrusion of a grain of sand that the oyster tries to isolate by creating a layer of mother of pearl around the intrusion or that of a little worm that perforates the shell thus creating a pearl.

            In any case, it is often stated that you would have to open 15 to 20 000 oysters just to find a single natural pearl.
