Veelgestelde vragen
What does "peacock" mean in Tahitiparels terminology?
Peacock describes a Tahitiparels with green body color and purple/aubergine ondertonen — named voor the peacock feather's iridescent shift between colors. The deepest peacocks come from Marutea and a handful of other French Polynesian atolls.
Are peacock Tahitiparels more valuable than other Tahitian colors?
Yes — peacock and zilver-blue are the most prized natural Tahitian ondertonen. AAA peacock 9–10 mm typically commands 15–30% meerprijs over standard dark-color Tahitian at the same maat.
Hoe I know if a peacock Tahitiparels is dyed?
Genuine peacock Tahitiparels show subtiel color shifts as you tilt them under light. Dyed parels show flat, uniform color. Real peacocks also have natural surface "depth" — the color appears to come from inside the parel, not painted on. Any parel from us comes with a certificate; if the price seems too low, the parel is likely dyed.
Why Marutea specifically?
Marutea Atoll has unusually mineral-rich lagune water (high copper and zinc trace levels) that Pinctada margaritifera incorporates into nacre — yielding the green-purple shift that defines peacock. Other atolls produce peacock occasionally; Marutea reliably.
Kan ik order a gematcht ketting strand of these parels?
Yes. Wij bieden custom strand work — specificeer lengte (16-22 inches typical), parel count, slot type, and we hand-select gematcht parels from current stock. Levertijd 7-14 dagen voor AAA peacock gematcht strands.
9–10 mm sits in the most-requested maat band for Tahitian loose parels — large enough to read as a statement, small enough that the price stays reachable voor custom-strung work. The peacock color in this combination is the signature Tahitian ondertonen: a green-with-purple shift that Pinctada margaritifera produces only in some atolls. These parels are afkomstig uit Marutea Atoll, where the lagune's mineral profile reliably yields the deepest peacock. We've gegradeerd each loose parel AAA on glans (mirror surface) and AA-or-better on shape (round to near-round). Geboord of ongeboord on request. Useful voor custom ketting strands, statement oorbellen, or bridal opdrachten. Each lot omvat our certificaat van echtheid and the lagune of origin.
