18kt White Gold Tahitian Pearl pendant 12mm

Exotic black pearls from the Pinctada margaritifera or Black-lip pearl oyster, are more commonly known as Tahitian pearls. These pearls are often referred to as black, but have a remarkable color range that covers the spectrum - from light, creamy white and grey, to regal greens, iridescent peacock and deep black.  Beautiful Tahitian pearls are among the largest pearls in the world, ranging in size from approximately 8 mm to 18 mm. Although Tahitian pearls carry the name of the famous Tahiti Island they do not come from Tahiti they grown in French Polynesia.
