Origin of Tahitian Pearls

Polynesian Legends of Tahitian Pearls

French Polynesia is brimming with captivating tales about the origin of Tahitian pearls. The most well-known legend tells of Oro, the god of fertility and peace, who travelled on a rainbow to visit the earth. He brought with him a magical oyster called Ufi and gave the black pearl formed inside to the princess of Bora Bora as a token of his eternal love. Another romantic legend narrates that Tahitian pearls are the tears of the gods, laid in oysters each day at the time of dew. The moon flooded the ocean with its rays to draw the oysters to the surface, bathing them in a dew blessed by the gods. The pearls were born from this union, their imperfections arising from thunder, while their perfection stemmed from their birth at the most favourable moment.
