For centuries, French Polynesia has been man’s mythical paradise, and rare black Tahitian pearls have long been considered ‘jewels of the ocean.’ In Polynesian mythology, they were also a symbol of love, gifted by the gods to princesses. Throughout the world they are coveted because of the magical play of colour and iridescence as light is refracted through them.
Perle Noire is inspired by exotic voyages and the structural aesthetics of Art Deco. The collection reflects Ana’s passion for gemstones and travel, which inspired her to travel to French Polynesia. Here she sourced the black pearls directly from their origin to ensure quality and provenance.
