Tiare Black Pearl offers high quality loose pearls and pearl jewellery, as well as associated products including crystal and shell creations, Tahitian clothing, cosmetics and alcoholic drinks. Australian South Seas silver and gold pearls, natural coloured white and pink top quality freshwater pearls from China and the Philippines, natural amber and semi-precious stone sterling silver jewellery are also featured in our shops.
Tahitian cultured pearls come in various shapes, including round, semi-round, baroque (irregular shape), semi-baroque (drop, button, oval or pearl shapes), circled and keshi (small irregular shaped pearls with no nucleus). They are graded from Gem quality (perfect) through A, B, C and D grades.
Gem Quality
Flawless pearl. Excellent lustre.
Category A
Pearl without imperfections on at least 90% of its surface. On the 10% remaining the pearl may exhibit small concentrated flaws and one deep imperfection at most. Minimum very good lustre.
Category B
Pearl without imperfections on at least 70% of its surface. On the 30% remaining the pearl may exhibit slight concentrated flaws and two imperfections at most. Minimum good lustre.
Category C
Pearl without imperfections on at least 40% of its surface. On the 60% remaining the pearl may present slight concentrated flaws and 10% deep imperfections at most. Minimum average lustre.
Category D
Pearl with slight imperfections on over 60% of its surface with 20% deep imperfections and/or white spots at most. Minimum weak lustre.
Tiare Black Pearl has hundreds of pearls of various categories, sizes and shapes to choose from. Loose pearls are complemented by a variety of 18 carat gold pendants, earrings and rings (see Gallery). While Gem and A Category pearls are clearly exquisite, rare and highly in demand, it is sometimes better to carefully select a B or C grade pearl, which, when mounted with an appropriate setting, can actually hide any otherwise obvious defects.
