Tahitian Pearls: The Dark Treasures of the Ocean

Tahitian pearls, often called black pearls, are cultivated in the warm lagoons of French Polynesia from the black-lipped oyster (Pinctada margaritifera). Unlike traditional white pearls, their colors range from deep gray to silver, green, and the rare peacock overtones — shimmering with hints of blue and violet.

Their rarity and naturally dark hues make Tahitian pearls some of the most coveted gems in fine jewelry. Each pearl carries a subtle metallic glow that feels both mysterious and luxurious.

While Solis focuses on freshwater baroque and Edison pearls for their individuality and daily wearability, we admire Tahitian pearls as symbols of timeless prestige — a reminder of how diverse and enchanting the world of pearls can be.
