The Tahitian Pearl Flow Ring: A Black South Sea Pearl in Motion
The Tahitian Pearl Flow Ring wraps an 8mm black-green Tahitian cultured pearl in an intertwined ribbon of pavé diamonds — a contemporary halo you can tailor all the way to an engagement ring.

Few pieces capture the drama of a dark pearl the way this one does. The center is a genuine Tahitian cultured pearl — grown in the warm lagoons of French Polynesia inside the black-lipped oyster, Pinctada margaritifera — set into a shank that seems to split, curve, and flow back together around it. The result is soft and sculptural rather than stiff, and every angle catches the light differently.
A Tahitian pearl with a naturally dark glow
The pearl at the heart of this ring measures a generous 8mm and is graded True AAA, our highest tier, with excellent luster and a clean surface. Its body color is a deep black-green with a green peacock overtone — and that darkness is entirely natural. Tahitian pearls are the only pearls that grow in genuinely dark shades on their own, with no dye or treatment, which is exactly what makes them so coveted. Held up to the light, the surface shows the mirror-bright shine that separates a fine Tahitian pearl from an ordinary one.
The flow setting: an intertwined halo in motion
The design is an intertwined-shank halo. Two slender rails rise from the band, pavé-set with round diamonds, then weave upward until they meet in a glittering halo that frames the pearl. Two additional bezel-set diamonds tuck in beneath the halo for a last flash of brightness. Altogether 46 round side gems — about 0.53 total carats, G color, SI1 clarity, ideal cut — surround and lift the pearl. Prefer more sparkle? The diamond quality is upgradable to F/VS, E/VVS, or D/VVS.
