Pearls

Our friend and agent Tehani from Tahiti Crew took us to her favorite pearl dealer: Pascal at Poe Anuanua. I can see why he is her favorite! His wife is from the Gambiers, which is where the most beautiful black pearls come from. I assure you that our photo does them no justice. He showed us how they grade them by size, brilliance, color, and perfection. We found that roundness is not important, and often some of the tear dropped shaped ones were some of the most spectacular. The color ranged from a deep black to green, to rosy to quite light.
Because he has no store to maintain and works out of his house a few days a week, his overhead is low and he passes those savings on to those who shop there. Price varies with the gradeā¦ even the low grades are truly wonderful, so he has something for everyone. We encourage anyone passing through Tahiti to make the trip to his house in Tamanu.
