This unique piece had a previous life in Italy.
The story: Taking its name from the tropical island of French Polynesia, the Tahitian pearl (Pinctada margaritifera) is undoubtedly the most coveted of all pearls. However, it was not until 1845 that Europeans discovered it. This success is explained first of all by the marked contrast between its gray or black base color, and its orient (that is to say its reflections) silver or iridescent. In addition, the formation time of a pearl contributes to its preciousness since it usually takes 4 to 5 years to form a Tahitian pearl.
