Color: A pearl gets its color
from the mantle tissue of its parent. "Black" pearls
come from the black-lipped oyster, Pinctada margaritifera.
Despite their name, these pearls, which are called Poe
Rava in Tahitian, are not necessarily black. The
basic black or grey of the Tahitian pearl gives rise
to a multitude of tones from white to lunar grey, in
an amazing palette of tints of the most astonishing
hues: creamy, peacock green, eggplant, blue, pink and
golden. Even if peacock green and eggplant are the most
sought after for their rarity, all the colors produced
by the Pinctada margaritifera have their own
originality and richness. The main consideration for
your choice is your personal taste.
