The entire world acclaims the black pearls of Tahiti as one of the most beautiful gem materials ever…and we can’t disagree. The wonderful deep shading and metallic highlights found in Tahitian pearls and mabe pearls provides a fantastic and elegant focal point for all types of jewelry.

Because of the size of the Tahitian oysters, they are able to produce unusually large pearls and mabes, as typified by the silver pieces below where the blister can approach 1” in diameter.

We typically set he darker shaded Tahitians in 14k gold as befits their quality.
