of pearls known to mankind. Though in Australia the most common type of
pearl you would find is Tahitian, the demand has always been for fresh
water pearls. this could be due to the fact that they are cheaper as far
as prices are concerned and there is not much of a significant difference
between the others in terms of quality.
Cultured black pearls are in great demand of late due to its long durability
and easy availability. The shine lasts longer in these types and therefore
not much of a polishing is required on these types.
Tahitian pearls whose origins, as suggested in its name, can be traced to the eastern Malaya – Polynesian islands where they were found in plenty and later exported to the rest of the world by traders from the west. The reason why Tahitian pearls are so common in Australia is this reason that they are naturally found in Australasia and some parts of Malay Archipelago.
