Poe Rava is the Tahitian word to describe the culture of pearls in French Polynesia. In Polynesian legends, it is said to be the first jewel of light given by the Creator to Tane, God of order and beauty …
A Polynesian legend. And Tane lit up the sky with pearls … And their shapes and their brightness inspired him to create the stars, before sending them to Rua Hatu, God of the ocean, in order to brighten his world …
Pledge of Love. And Oro, who works for the God of order and beauty, gave the first pearls to mortal women whom he coveted in order to conceive of his descendants…
It was his token of love… He then gave mortals the pearl oyster, “Te ufi”, in memory of his time on earth … since “Te ufi” thrives in our lagoons …
Incredible colours. The Tahitian pearl is called “Black Pearl” although its natural colour varies from pink to green, by way of yellow and blue. An exceptional pearl. In the opinion of all the experts it is the most mesmerizing of pearls.
