http://gia.edu/gem-encyclopedia • Tahitian Pearls by GIA. The dark spheres with exotic colors of Tahitian pearls were dramatically different than their white and cream-colored predecessors, and caught the attention of fashionistas in the mid-1970s. In this video, learn about Tahitian pearls. These black-lip pearls are cultured in the French Polynesian islands and come in a variety of colors. The most familiar pearl stone is white and cream, but the palette of colors extends to every hue. Natural pearls form around a microscopic irritant in the bodies of certain mollusks. Cultured pearls are the result of the deliberate insertion of a bead or piece of tissue that the mollusk coats with nacre. • Learn more about pearl with GIA's gem encyclopedia: http://www.gia.edu/pearl • • Pearl Quality Factors: http://www.gia.edu/pearl-quality-factor • • Pearl Description: http://www.gia.edu/pearl-description • • Pearl Buyer’s Guide: http://www.gia.edu/pearl#buyers-guide • • Pearl History and Lore: http://www.gia.edu/pearl-history-lore • • Pearl Care and Cleaning: http://www.gia.edu/pearl-care-cleaning • The Official GIA Channel on YouTube is also a great resource for pearl knowledge • • Akoya Pearls: • Akoya Pearls by GIA • • South Sea Pearls: • South Sea Pearls by GIA • • Freshwater Pearls: • Freshwater Pearls by GIA • • How GIA Evaluates Luster, One of the GIA 7 Pearl Value Factors™: • How GIA Evaluates Luster, One of the ... • • How GIA Evaluates Surface, One of the GIA 7 Pearl Value Factors: • How GIA Evaluates Surface, One of the... • • How GIA Evaluates Matching, One of the GIA 7 Pearl Value Factors: • How GIA Evaluates Matching, One of th... • GIA exists to connect people to the understanding of gems.
