EVALUATION

The technical classification of the producers is on: the diameter, the form and the quality. The evaluation at the level of the trade of pearls add additional criteria such as:

• The « appeal of the consumer »

• The rarity of certain categories of pearls

• The destination of these products

The “taste of the consumer“ is rather variable in terms in particular of diameter, forms and colors: according to countries and trends.

So in Japan and in the United States, we shall favor the round pearls of big diameter of color green peacock, or eggplants while in Europe the round or baroque grey pearls of lower diameter will be looked for.  The categories of the rarest pearls, as the rounds of big diameter, will be the most appreciated of course. The destination of these pearls as produced by jewelry, also influences their price. Indeed, because of the peculiarity of every pearl of Tahiti, to be difficult to couple earrings, or to match one necklace, makes them more expensive of the white pearls.

The cultured pearls of Tahiti, come in a range of products going of the collector's item to the fashion jewelry, from high jewelry to classic jewelry; they can be adapted to all creative boldness’s.  The rather important diameter of pearls, confers them a visibility, a presence that cannot supply precious stones, or other types of pearls. His most diverse forms allow to adapt themselves in all the styles. The variety of its colors, associated in grey and in black, allows him to follow all the fashion, with sobriety and elegance; and to support all the associations of color of a wardrobe.

They can also be suggestive of certain sensations and feelings.

So, pearls green peacock, will evoke more particularly a sensation of wealth and freshness: pearls eggplant: a certain nobility, pearls lavender will be more romantic, the more active bronze pearls, pale-grey warmer, while black anthracite, or grey pigeon, will give a classic and professional  look. ­
