Tahitian Keshi Pearl Rainbow Lei

A saltwater pearl cultivated in French Polynesia, Tahitian pearls add an element of mystery, wisdom, and sultry island elegance. Considered a protective pearl, they support transformation, ever lasting love, and the alchemy of the heart. The rare black color unique to Tahitian pearls is a result of the dark pigment secreted by the black-lipped oyster found in French Polynesia. Tahitian pearls are nature's only source of truly black pearls and come in a variety of deeply pigmented pearls from with a range of colorful overtones, from pitch black to the infamous peacock pearl. These uniquely shaped pearls are highly sought after for their variety, beauty, and luster. A bi-product of the culturing process, Keshi pearls are formed when an oyster expels an implanted nucleus. As a result, they are made entirely of nacre and exhibit remarkable luster.
