Princess Diana famously said that if a woman could only have one piece of jewelry in her life, it should be a pearl.
Tahiti, located in the South Pacific and the largest island in French Polynesia, is renowned for its pearl farming, producing about 95% of the world's black pearls.
These pearls, known for their mesmerizing colors and rarity, were once the preferred jewels of royals and nobles, earning them titles like the "queen of pearls."
Cultivating Tahitian black pearls is challenging due to the sensitive environmental needs of the black-lipped oyster and a lengthy cultivation process. Despite modern advancements, producing these gems remains a delicate balance of nature and technique, making each pearl a rare treasure.
