Displaying a lovely, sought after black body color with silvery peacock green, blue and purple overtones, these versatile earrings go seamlessly from daytime to evening wear. The distinctive black color of the Tahitian pearl comes from its cultivation inside the black-lipped variety of the Pinctata maxima oyster. These large oysters, up to a foot in diameter, are farmed on the volcanic atolls of Tahiti, where warm, nutrient-rich Ocean create ideal environmental conditions for their growth. The oysters are pampered in the warm lagoons, and the pearls are kept inside them for a long period of time, allowing them to grow to their impressive size and develop multiple layers of lustrous nacre. Because of their sensitivity to the cultivation process, very few of these oysters survive to produce pearls, which is why Tahitian pearls are so rare and valuable.
