Pearls from Tahiti are particularly precious gifts from the sea. This is because the black-lipped mussel Pinctada margaritifera, which is only native to the island, has the peculiarity of producing black and gray pearls. These have been a special treasure since time immemorial - but unfortunately they are also extremely rare. Japanese pearl cultivation experts therefore tried to cultivate black pearls on Bora Bora back in the 1960s. However, it was not until the 1990s that black cultured pearls from Tahiti became available worldwide. Incidentally, the black cultured pearl celebrated its breakthrough with the help of one of the most famous jewelry lovers of all: Elizabeth Taylor launched her perfume "Black Pearls" in 1996. It was a real sensation. This beautiful vintage ring presents a wonderful Tahitian pearl with a warm grey color and green and violet tones in the overlay. The pearl has a diameter of 9.2 mm and shows a good lustre and only a few small growth marks that identify it as a natural product. The dark sea treasure is accompanied by two diamonds with a total weight of 0.37 carats. A simple shank made of high-carat yellow gold completes the arrangement of the ring. According to the hallmark, the ring is the work of the Leicht jeweler from Pforzheim, and we date it to around the turn of the millennium. It is in very good condition and an elegant eye-catcher.
