Tahitian pearls are available in natural black color with blue or green overtones and therefore look truly gorgeous and most elegant among all other natural pearls. Tahitian Pearls are also called “Queen of Pearls” because of their outstanding beauty and grace. There are many ancient legends around Tahitian Pearls. According to the ancient tale, pearl oyster Te Ufi (scientifically known as Pinctada Margaritifera) was given to a man by the god of peace and fertility “Oro” who had come down on a rainbow. But, some believe that Te Ufi was given to the beautiful princess of Bora Bora as a sign of his external love.
Black Tahitian pearls are produced by the black-lipped oyster popularly known as Pinctada Margaritifera in the islands of French Polynesia. Waters of French Polynesia offer the right conditions for the cultivation of these rare gems. These rarest and precious pearls are found in 1 out of 10,000 oysters. Cultured black pearls take around 18 to 24 months. Dyed black pearls also available in the markets which are not so valuable and precious.
