Tahitian Black Pearls (Moti)

Tahitian pearls, known as Tahitian Moti, are one of the most exotic and sought-after varieties of pearls, admired for their naturally dark, lustrous hues and exceptional size. Cultivated primarily in the pristine lagoons of French Polynesia, these pearls are produced by the Pinctada Margaritifera oyster, commonly known as the black-lipped oyster. Their stunning range of colors, from deep black to peacock green, silver, blue, and aubergine, makes them unique among natural pearls.

Unlike dyed pearls, Tahitian Moti derive their remarkable colors naturally, with overtones that shift under different lighting conditions. They typically range in size from 8mm to 16mm and are known for their smooth surface and rich, mirror-like luster. Due to their longer cultivation period of 2 to 3 years, they develop a thick nacre, which enhances their durability and gives them a luxurious appearance. High-quality Tahitian pearls with minimal blemishes and strong iridescence are especially valuable in the market.

Astrologically, Tahitian Moti is associated with the Moon (Chandra Graha) and is believed to promote emotional stability, inner peace, and protection from negative energies. It is often recommended for individuals seeking confidence, creativity, and personal transformation. Worn by collectors, royalty, and pearl enthusiasts worldwide, Tahitian pearls remain a symbol of mystery, sophistication, and timeless elegance.
