How to choose the most beautiful Tahitian black pearl?
Each Tahitian black pearl incarnates the Polynesian charms. You need to know how to choose the one which suits you most: small or big, perfectly round or unusual shapes, black, green or champagne colour… It’s hard to make a choice!
The way the surface looks and the lustre of the pearl are the 2 most important points. Pay attention to details such as a hollow, a scratch or an excrescence. Small imperfections can easily be hidden when you will create your own jewel. And take your time to appreciate the range of reflections of the pearl and its brilliance.
An official classification will help you to make your decision: 4 classes grade pearls from A (high quality) to D (weak lustre and imperfection). You will receive an authenticity certificate for each pearl.
Now you have the pearl, you just have to create an original jewellery depending on your inspiration: a ring, a pendant, a bracelet…? Vaima Perles can advise you.
