Frequently asked questions
Are Tahitian pearls naturally dark?
Yes. The color comes from the nacre layers of Pinctada margaritifera, deposited by the oyster as the pearl grows. There is no dye or treatment involved in our pearls. Each piece ships with origin certificate.
How does AAA grading work for Tahitian pearls?
AAA Tahitian pearls have surface 95%+ clean, mirror luster (you can see your reflection), near-round to round shape, and uniform overtone. AA pearls have 85%+ clean surface and high (but not mirror) luster. A grade has visible imperfections and lower luster.
What necklace length should I order?
Princess length (17-19 inches) sits at the collarbone and is the most universally flattering. Choker (14-16in) hugs the neck. Matinee (20-24in) drops just above the bust line. Opera (28-34in) reaches the sternum. Each length has a different impact — see our length guide for visuals.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship worldwide with insured tracked delivery. Free shipping on orders over $150 USD. Each piece arrives with certificate of authenticity.
Tahitian pearls come from Pinctada margaritifera, the black-lipped oyster native to French Polynesia, primarily from the Mangareva and Marutea atolls where our family has sourced for over thirty years. The pieces in this collection are hand-graded against the AAA-AA-A scale: surface clean to 95%+ for AAA, 85%+ for AA, with mirror luster the defining marker of AAA. Strands and pendant necklaces in classic lengths (collar, choker, princess, matinee, opera, rope). Hand-knotted between pearls with silk thread — the traditional method that prevents wear and keeps pearls separate if a strand breaks. Tahitian pearls range $80-2,000+ per pearl depending on size, grade, and overtone; the deepest peacock and silver-blue tones command 20-40% premium. Sourcing: direct from oyster farms in French Polynesia. Each necklace ships with our certificate of authenticity and origin notation.
