Tahitian Pearl

Tahitian pearls are one of nature’s most beautiful creations. Its amazing allure and dramatic beauty come from the warm, clear waters of French Polynesia. Large black-lip oysters called Pinctada Margaritifera grow these glorious dark pearls.

Tahitian pearls naturally come in an attractive variety of colors including black, green, bronze or dark gray. Few oysters survive to produce a single fine pearl. Each one is unique with romantic dark tones.

Black-lip pearl oysters are farmed in French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, the Micronesian Islands, and to some extent, Japan, Thailand, and the Philippines. However, only the dark beauties grown in exotic French Polynesia can truly call themselves Tahitian pearls.

Canadian Ammolite

Over millions of years, the shifting of tectonic plates applied pressure and mineralization, converting ammonite shells into the striking chromatic spectrum of material called Canadian ammolite!

The colors within ammolite are attributed to the light interference deflecting into the many layers of the gemstone. Each layer of color represents a layer of gemstone material.

Canadian ammolite is unique because no two stones are identical. Some display mosaic designs resembling scales or spider webs, while others contain ribbons of color or broad areas of intense fire.

Ammolite value has increased 250 percent over the past decade. For instance, the average diamond mine produces 1.5 carats per ton of earth moved, whereas ammolite mining only produces an average of 0.6 carats per ton of earth.
