TUAMOTU
PEARLS
The production of cultured pearls is largely concentrated
in the islands of the Tuamotu Archipelago, one of 5 archipelagos
that form French Polynesia, of which TAHITI in the Society
Islands is the capital.
PEARL
SIZE
Pearl size depends on the diameter of the nucleus inserted
in the gonad during the grafting process, as well as the
length of the oyster’s gestation period.
SHAPE
The composition of a pearl lot depends on several criteria:
the technique used by the "surgeon – grafter",
the conditioning of the host oyster, general upkeep and
the grafting ‘post-operation’ follow-up.
COLOR
The uniqueness of naturally-colored cultured pearls produced
in TUAMOTU derives from their great diversity of colors
and color nuances. Ultimately, it is this that makes these
pearls such objects of beauty.
QUALITY
Quality is based on two criteria: Luster and Surface
quality.
