Tahitian pearls come from the warm waters of Tahiti and the islands of the French Polynesia and the only place where the Tahitian pearl can be found. The natural black colour of Tahitian pearls comes from the colour of the oyster's black lips. They are much larger than average oysters and are extremely unique and sensitive to the farming process. This makes the larger pearls produced extremely more valuable and rear.
The Tahitian’s oyster produces large pearls that can range from 8mm up to 17mm or sometimes larger, and can live for up to 30 years in the wild. Tahitian pearls are slightly smaller than the South Sea pearl and slightly larger than the Akoya.
