Discover the captivating beauty of genuine Tahitian saltwater cultured pearls with these exquisite teardrop earrings. Each 9–9.5mm pearl showcases the signature iridescent luster that makes Tahitian pearls among the world's most coveted gems.

Key Features

Why Choose Tahitian Pearls?

Tahitian pearls are renowned for their exotic dark hues and exceptional luster. Unlike freshwater pearls, these saltwater gems are cultivated in the pristine lagoons of French Polynesia, resulting in superior quality and distinctive beauty. The teardrop shape adds feminine grace, while the threader design offers contemporary sophistication.

Frequently asked questions

Is my piece ready to ship or made to order?

Each product page says which. A piece marked “In stock, ready to ship” is on our shelf and leaves the gallery within 1 to 3 business days. A piece marked “Made to order” is chosen and strung for you once you order and ships in 3 to 4 weeks. Bespoke designs from a custom consultation follow their own timeline, typically 4 to 6 weeks.

How long will my order take to process and arrive?

Pieces in stock are typically processed within 1 to 3 business days; made-to-order pieces ship in 3 to 4 weeks. Standard domestic shipping takes 5 to 7 business days following dispatch. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout.

Do your pearl items come with a certificate?

A certificate is not included in the price. For pearl pieces you can add one, issued by an independent gemological laboratory, for $110. It documents the type, size, color, luster and surface of the pearls in your piece. Tick “Add a lab certificate” on the product page, or ask when you order. Pieces without pearls, such as gemstone strands, do not qualify. Our AA+ to AAAA grades are our own; the laboratory report is separate from them.

What is your return and exchange policy?

Unworn pieces in their original packaging can come back for a full refund to your original payment within 14 days of receiving your order, or for full store credit within 30 days. To start a return, contact the gallery or bring the piece to our Bellevue gallery. Custom and altered pieces are final sale.

The full terms are in our refund policy.

How should I clean and care for my pearl jewelry?

Remember the rule: “Pearls should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.” Keep them away from perfume, hairspray, and household chemicals. Wipe them gently with a soft microfiber cloth after each wear. Never submerge pearls in ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemical dips.
