The blue setting

Emerging from the blue setting of the Fakarava atolls, Tahitian Pearls embody the captivating radiance of Polynesian waters. Their luster recalls the reflections of lagoons, and their rounded contour evokes natural grace and undeniable elegance. These marine gems, harvested in the mild waters of the Pacific, display a palette of colors that evoke the diversity and splendor of coral beds. These gems are more than just ornaments; they are the symbol of purity and sophistication, and exert an irresistible fascination on those who observe them.

At Domaine Saint Vincent, each pearl is classified according to its shape, which varies from perfectly spherical to delightfully irregular, which inspires artisans in the creation of authentic jewelry. The color range extends far beyond the deep black for which pearl is renowned, offering endless shades from forest green to azure blue, soothing cream tones and mysterious purple highlights. These nuances are not the work of man but miracles of the sea, making each pearl as unique as the waves from which it emerges.

The process of forming these pearls is as fascinating as the pearls themselves. It begins with the careful nacriculture of the Pinctada Margaritifera, where planktonic larvae attach to submerged collectors. Over the months, these young pearl oysters develop, suspended in strings in the azure depths until they reach maturity for grafting. This delicate operation introduces a small nucleus into the oyster, which, through a defensive reaction, forms a lustrous layer of mother-of-pearl around this artificial seed.

Around 18 months later, after a period of meticulous care and regular maintenance to ensure the quality of the mother-of-pearl, the pearls are finally harvested. This patient and caring process results in cultured pearls that are natural works of art, each with its own character and history.

The Tahitian Pearl, much more than a simple seafood product, is an emblem of the harmonious coexistence of man with the ocean. Choosing a Tahitian pearl means choosing a jewel that carries history and tradition, a piece that captures not only the light but also the essence of a marine paradise.

Thus, Didariel is committed to offering you superior quality pearls, carefully selected for their shape, color, size and absence of defects. We ensure that each pearl, whether it is of classic brilliance or baroque originality, finds its perfect place in a piece of jewelry that is sure to become a treasured heirloom for generations to come.
