About Pearl Shapes
Tahitian Pearls come in a wide variety of shapes, you truly never know what each oyster will produce. Shapes vary from perfectly round to extremely misshapen.
Round & Semi Round
The shape that pearls are known around the world for. A classic, timeless look.
Semi-Baroque
Semi-Baroque pearls encompass every pearl that only has one axis of symmetry. This includes drop pearls, button pearls, and oval pearls. A wide variety of shapes that will keep you on your toes.
Baroque
This is where pearls get crazy. Baroque pearls have no axis of symmetry and shapes can very wildly, each baroque pearl is truly a one of one, you will never see two the exact same.
Circle Pearls
This shape is our personal favorite. These have rings formed around the pearls and offer an extremely unique look, similar to baroque pearls each one is different and are a work of natural art.
These pearls also show off their color like none other, which is why we have a soft spot for these beauties.
Keshi Pearls
These pearls are an accidental treasure in pearl farming. These pearls are nonnuclated pearls and form when a second pearl sac is created apart from the nucleus. Because these pearls are non nucleated they are often very small and mishapen.
Carved Pearls
Our carved pearls are hand-selected after harvesting and sent to a highly skilled artist. Each carved pearl is an extremely unique work of art. Carved pearls will not always be available for purchase.
All of our pearls are carved by Taumata's nephew, Heifara.
