Have you noticed how pearls are hotter than HOT right now! You see them from the Paris runways to the most refined political and media darlings. Pearls have always had a place of value among generations of great beauties. Although they were worn long before Coca dazzled the fashion world with her layers of pearls, she definitely played a vital role in getting and keeping pearl jewelry at the foremost of fashion.
These lustrous baubles stand the test of time. No longer are they only delicate, white, round pearl strands to be worn to church or at a wedding - but the height of fashion. The color palate of Tahitians alone, can make your head spin...from extremely dark black to greens, blues and silvers. Then if you really want to dazzle bring out your South Sea pearls with their golden, white, cream or bronze colors and you truly will make your neighbors jaw drop!

Buying Pearls from the Farms in Tahiti
Just finished our buying of gorgeous Tahitian pearls for the summer and fall collections! We bought the entire harvest of some of the most Eco friendly farms in Tahiti. It is a must for us at Southseapearl.com that our pearls come from producers that are social and environmentally conscious.
The Tahitian pearls come in a variety of shades of very blue silver, green, bronze, peacock, grey, and various depths of black. The shapes are from the perfect round pearl up to 17mm to the funky baroque. After we purchased the pearls, we send them to Japan to be processed (drilled and matched into lots). The pearls are then sent to us. We carefully go through each lot (which can be from a dozen to several thousand individual pearls) and select the pearls that make the perfect pair of earrings or comprise the stunning strands.
I can understand why their is a mystic around the black pearl..they have such a beauty and luster that mystifies the wearer and draws in all others that see these rare gifts from our ocean.
