Tahitian pearls, also known as Black South Sea Pearls, are cherished for their incredibly exotic colors and mirror-like luster. Although they are commonly known as "Black Pearls," Tahitian pearls actually consist of the widest spectrum of exotic colors of any pearl such as peacock green, silver green, blue, and eggplant colors just to name a few. These pearls are produced by the Pinctada Margaritifera oyster, which is found exclusively in Tahiti and several other French Polynesian islands.

Both golden & White South Sea pearls are very rare and very difficult to find in most jewelry stores, especially in higher qualities.
