The round pearl is the most sought after of all the Tahitian cultured pearls. But as they are the most delicate to obtain, they are also the most expensive. They are present in 15% of harvests.
However, other shapes appear in cultures such as semi-round, semi-baroque pearls, or even baroque pearls, that is to say without an axis of symmetry unlike other shapes.
It is important to know that losses are relatively considerable and that a good part of the harvests are considered as waste: the pearls harvested are not exploitable, because they are too damaged, or their luster has no commercial value.
If you want to know the characteristics that allow you to recognize the value of a Tahitian cultured pearl, you can see the sheet that will allow you to visualize the criteria which define the surface quality of a pearl.
Please note that when you purchase a Tahitian cultured pearl from our Rangiroa pearl farm Gauguin's Pearl, we provide you with its certificate of authenticity which will be sent to you when you order.
A Tahitian cultured pearl is unique and it is why it's very difficult to obtain pairs that look alike. That said, there are several characteristics that define a Tahitian cultured pearl. The round pearl, for example, is the most sought after because it is represented as being the most perfect, but depending on each person's taste, drop-shaped pearls are also very popular or even the keshis because of their uniqueness and small size.
Your pearl is produced by a living organism, the black-lipped pearl oyster. It is made of aragonite, commonly called mother-of-pearl. This is the result of a complex structure combining a mineral part, mainly calcium carbonate, and an organic part mainly protein. It is therefore essential to be able to provide some care that respects the proper conservation of your pearl. Perfume, alcohol, chemicals or acids, hairspray, soapy water and chlorine are to be avoided. Also, avoid mixing your pearl with other jewelry to avoid scratching it. Wipe your pearl with a damp chamois leather to maintain it or wear it regularly, because in contact with your skin it will rehydrate and thus retain all its beauty.
