Said to represent mystery and protection.
Formed inside the black-lipped oyster and found in French Polynesia, these distinctive hues and patterns are caused by trace elements and organic compounds in the oyster's environment.

Pearl culturing occurred hundreds of years ago in China, and Japanese pioneers successfully produced whole cultured pearls around the beginning of the twentieth century.
