A Tahitian pearl set typically includes a necklace paired with matching earrings, carefully selected to coordinate in color, size, and quality. Some sets may also include a matching bracelet for a complete coordinated look. Each piece is designed to complement the others while maintaining the distinctive character that makes Tahitian pearls so captivating.

Purchasing a Tahitian pearl set ensures perfect color matching across all your pieces, which can be challenging to achieve when buying separately due to the natural color variation in Tahitian pearls. Sets are curated by expert gemologists who spend considerable time selecting pearls with harmonizing overtones and consistent quality. Additionally, sets typically offer better value than purchasing each piece individually.

• Guaranteed color coordination across all pieces, eliminating matching concerns
• Cost savings compared to buying necklace, earrings, and bracelet separately
• Consistent quality grading across all pieces in your collection
• Time-saving solution for building a cohesive pearl jewelry wardrobe

Tahitian pearls are renowned for their dramatic dark colors, ranging from charcoal gray to deep black, often with stunning overtones of peacock green, blue, purple, or silver. Unlike dyed black pearls, these colors are entirely natural, created by the black-lipped Pinctada margaritifera oyster. The most prized sets feature peacock overtones—a mesmerizing combination of green, blue, and purple iridescence over a dark body color.

• Classic black pearls with silver or gray overtones for timeless elegance
• Peacock pearls featuring green, blue, and purple iridescence—the most sought-after color
• Charcoal gray pearls with subtle color variations and sophisticated appeal
• Cherry or aubergine tones with deep purple-red overtones for dramatic flair

Round Tahitian pearl sets feature near-spherical pearls with symmetrical shapes, representing the most traditional and formal style of pearl jewelry.

Both styles offer exceptional beauty, with your choice depending on whether you prefer classic elegance or modern artistic expression.

• Round sets offer timeless formality perfect for traditional occasions and professional settings
• Baroque sets provide unique character with no two pearls exactly alike
• Round pearls command higher prices due to their rarity and universal appeal
• Baroque sets offer bold, fashion-forward styling at more accessible price points

Tahitian pearl sets typically feature pearls ranging from 8mm to 13mm, with the specific size depending on your preference and the style of the set. Necklaces often use graduated sizing, with larger pearls at the center tapering to smaller pearls near the clasp, while earrings and bracelets maintain more consistent sizing. The substantial size of Tahitian pearls contributes to their dramatic, luxurious presence.

Their sophisticated dark colors and natural iridescence make them especially popular for black-tie events, anniversary celebrations, and luxury occasions. However, their versatility also allows them to add polish and elegance to professional settings and upscale casual gatherings.

Store your Tahitian pearl set pieces together in a soft-lined jewelry box or individual pouches, keeping them separate from harder gemstones and metal jewelry that could scratch their surface. Since pearls are organic gems, they need to breathe and shouldn't be stored in airtight containers or safe deposit boxes for extended periods. Keeping your set together ensures you always have matching pieces ready and helps prevent loss of individual components.

• Use a dedicated jewelry box compartment or soft pouches for each piece
• Store away from harsh chemicals, perfumes, and cosmetics that can damage nacre
• Keep in a cool, dry location with some air circulation to prevent dehydration
• Lay necklaces flat or hang them to prevent knotted silk from stretching
