About Tahitian Cultured Pearls: Also know as
South Sea Cultured Pearls, come in a range of natural
colors from gold to gray, blue and black with hues of rose, lilac and green. The natural color of
the
Tahitian Cultured Pearl comes from
the special mix of minerals only found in the pristine waters around the
Tahitian
Islands.
Did you know that one of the earliest known methods to enhance a Cultured Pearls color required that a
chicken eat the Cultured Pearl for breakfast? Around 400 A.D., it was believed that a chickens digestive
system would soften the Cultured Pearls blemishes and even the color.
Today,
Tahitian Cultured Pearls used in fine jewelry are
cultured. Humans assist the oyster in creating a Cultured Pearl by inserting a tiny sphere of natural material
(called a nucleus) into its shell. The oyster surrounds the sphere with nacre coating. This
process typically takes approximately two years.
Tahitian Cultured Pearl Care: To care for your Cultured Pearls,
avoid using perfume, hairspray, abrasives, solvents and nail polish removers while wearing them.
The symbolism of Cultured Pearl is treasured as a gift for June birthdays, a traditional gift for brides and
celebration of the third and thirtieth anniversaries.
