Pearls from Tahiti are particularly precious gifts from the sea. This is because the Pinctada margaritifera cumingii mussel, which is only native to Tahiti, 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. The black cultured pearl then celebrated its breakthrough with the help of one of the most famous jewelry lovers of all: Elizabeth Taylor launched her perfume "Black Pearl" in 1996. It was a real sensation. This luxurious pair of earrings each features a wonderful Tahitian pearl in an anthracite grey color. The precious pearls have a diameter of around 9.6 mm and have a very good lustre and a very smooth surface with almost no growth marks. The marine treasures are held in white gold shells. They are each accompanied by a high-quality brilliant-cut diamond of 0.07 carats. The pair came to us from Bonn. It dates back to the turn of the millennium.
