The warm waters of the South Seas for many thousands of years have
nurtured a great marvel - the "Pinctada margaritifera", Cumingi variety, named for the biologist
who classified it in 1820.
This mother of pearl is unique due to its exceptionally pure lagoon habitat, which brings out
an incomparable natural color range that is passed on to cultured pearls as well, thereby
creating real jewels.
Tahitian pearls have become a symbol of elegance and beauty throughout the world. Whether they
be perfectly round in shape, or romantically pear shaped, or with baroque or modern shapes, and
in colors of shimmering green known as "fly's wing", aubergine, blue tinged, reddish-bronze,
pinkish or more simply just steel gray, they have an iridescent luster and orient that charms
the eye.
Every visitor desires to take home a Tahiti pearl as a souvenir, be it a modest or more
glamorous one, as the symbol of those fleeting and unforgettable moments spent on vacation in
the South Seas.
Every woman has always had the secret wish to possess a pearl, the pearl, the jewel of the
thousand and one nights, that contains a touch of magic, symbolizing great charm and perfection.
