Tahitian pearls are naturally dark saltwater cultured pearls from French Polynesia — in black, peacock, green and aubergine tones, typically 8–14mm. American Pearl offers Tahitian necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets direct at wholesale prices with free shipping.

What Are Tahitian Pearls?

Tahitian pearls are grown in the black-lipped oyster of French Polynesia. They are the only pearls whose dark body colour occurs naturally, which makes each one distinctive.

Colours and Sizes

Tahitian pearls range from silver-grey to deep black, with sought-after peacock, green and aubergine overtones. They are large — usually about 8mm to 14mm — which gives them real presence.

How to Judge Tahitian Quality

Evaluate lustre, surface cleanliness, shape, size and the richness of the overtones. Strong lustre with vivid peacock overtones commands the highest value.
