During the earlier years of the nineteenth century, Polynesian divers would dive to lengths exceeding 40 metres, to harvest the over-sized back-lipped oysters called Pinctada margaritifera. These oysters were found in droves along the lagoon-beds and coral reefs of the French Polynesian, Tuamotu islands in the South Pacific Ocean. The rarity of discovering the black pearls which originate from these oysters through natural means has been augmented by their scientific culturing and the expanding market for beautifully ornate carved black pearls.
The history of these pearls is shrouded in mystery and legend due to their rarity and exceptional beauty. Poetic illustrations include the ancient Chinese belief that they are conjured up in the brains of mighty dragons. Polynesian folklore tells of Oro, the god of war and peace who travelled to earth upon a magnificent rainbow to present mankind with this majestic oyster.
Their actual outer surfaces, are not black in colour as their name suggests, but are a dark charcoal colour, with fantastical overtones of emerald, lilac and blue, which give them their iridescent quality. As with other types of pearls, when fine grains of sand or grit, enters the oyster’s shell lining, the mollusk produces a unique coating to protect its delicate inner parts from being damaged, which, over a period of years, is shaped and moulded to form these natural phenomenons. Their colour is a direct product of the shade of the oyster’s inner lining, or “nacre, ” which in the case of the Pinctada margaritifera, is of a dark mother-of-pearl colouring.
