The pearl oysters of giant black lips are plentiful in the Tuamotu Islands of the southern Pacific. It is not exactly known when were they cultured for the first time, but it can be set two hundred years ago (more or less). The use of these shells for the pearls culture is relatively modern; a Nippon scientist tried the technique of the Atolón Hikueru in the Tuamotu Island of the French Polynesia in 1963, for the first time. Two years later, wonderful pearls of 13 mm of diameter were cultured. The black cultured pearls drew global attention to themselves only ,in 1978, when a necklace of one strand achieved the incredible price of 500,000$, in New York. It was in at this time when the creator moved to Polynesia answering to a government petition to give advice to local pearl manufactures , to identify their value and bringing them later to Japan, the main city of pearls. Until that moment, the black pearl from the southern seas, was a rarity with little recognition in the world market, like the one given to the Pope, it was only found in nature, being extremely limited. Nowadays, the black pearls are cultured in the peaceful waters of the Tuamotu Atolones, with the assistance of the Japanese technician during the insertion of the core.
