about Tahitian Circlé Pearls:
Tahitian pearls are relative newcomers to the pearl world, popularized only as early as the mid-1970's by the efforts of Jean Claude Brouillet, Salvador Assael, Robert Wan and others. Tahitian Pearls debuted in the early 1970's and have become the iconic "Black Pearl" of the black lipped pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera cultivated mostly in French Polynesia. These pearls actually exhibit the widest spectrum of colors of any salt water pearl; from almost black, to peacock green, eggplant, pistachio silver, blue, and sometimes, almost white. These pearls have become some of the most sought-after, expensive pearls in the world. Because of their vast color range, matching these pearls into a finished strand is an enormous task requiring thousands of loose pearls to create a single strand.
The term circlé refers to the circled ridges found sometimes on pearls, where nacre has been concentrated and colors can be intensified.
