Show Your Love With Tahitian Black Pearls

According to Polynesian legend, the first black pearl oyster was given as a gift from Ono, god of peace and fertility, to the lovely princess of Bora Bora to show his eternal love and affection. Thanks to this beautiful romantic legend, Tahitian black pearls are considered a symbol of love. Along with their romantic connotations, Tahitian black pearls are incredibly rare and hard to culture. This further increases their value and makes them an exceptional gift for all occasions, including Valentine’s Day. Tahitian black pearls are the ideal choice for women who love jewelry but do not particularly like other popular Valentine’s Day options (such as heart-shaped jewelry or pink jewelry).

Apples of Gold is excited to offer our customers a beautiful selection of Tahitian black pearl jewelry. These gorgeous pearls make the perfect Valentine’s Day present, birthday present or holiday gift. Our Tahitian black pearl jewelry selection includes stunning rings, necklaces and earrings to choose from. We’ve highlighted some of our favorites below, all of which are great Valentine’s Day picks.

Tahitian Black Pearl and Diamond Ring

This bold, beautiful ring (seen at top) pops with a massive 10mm naturally cultured Tahitian black pearl set atop a white gold band. Thirty six small diamonds are encrusted in the solid white gold band for a sparkling backdrop against the gorgeous black pearl. This ring is a classic alternative to a cocktail ring; it’s big enough to make a statement but isn’t  overpowering and can be worn daily if desired.

Natural Black Tahitian Pearl and Diamond Drop Pendant

Our Tahitian black pearl pendant necklace hangs delicately from a 14k white gold necklace. The exceptionally high quality pearl dangles from a white gold and diamond encrusted pendant that is vintage in design, making it a delightful choice for women who appreciate an enduring romantic style.

Natural Tahitian Round Pearl and Diamond Drop Earrings

Lovely dangling black pearl earrings look gorgeous when framing a woman’s face, and these beauties are no exception. Two large natural Tahitian pearls hang from solid white gold dangle posts and are topped with a contemporary diamond encrusted design. These black pearl earrings are just as versatile as the ring and be worn every day as well as for special occasions. For pink lovers, this pretty design also comes adorned with pink pearls.

This Valentine’s Day, Have a Heart

One of the most famous symbols of Valentine’s Day love is the heart. The universally-revered shape is practically synonymous with the holiday, so much so that nearly every Valentine’s Day gift is heart-shaped. From red heart-shaped candy boxes and helium heart balloons to heart-printed flower vases and jewelry, it’s all been done in the name of love.

Heart-shaped jewelry in particular has been a hugely popular Valentine’s Day gift; especially the omnipresent heart-shaped pendant. Though this traditional style is loved by many, Apples of Gold carries many fresh and novel heart-shaped jewelry designs to choose from. We’ve highlighted some of our favorite finds below to make Valentine’s Day shopping easier this year. From tri-color gold heart rings to a chic twist on the heart shaped pendant, the stunning selection is sure to warm your Valentine’s heart.

Heart-Shaped Jewelry, Served With a Twist

Tri-Color Gold and Diamond Heart Ring

Rings are a great jewelry choice for Valentine’s Day, and this stunner is no exception. The 14k white gold ring features three staggered hearts in white, yellow and rose gold. As mentioned last week, a touch of rose gold is the perfect way to bring pink into your Valentine’s Day gift.

Naturally Cultured South Sea Pearl Heart Shaped Ring

This gorgeous white gold ring (pictured at top) features a humongous South Sea pearl surrounded by an abstract heart of diamonds. The huge 9 mm size of this lustrous pearl makes a statement like only a cocktail ring can, and the halo of diamonds add a finishing sparkle to the style. This ring is the ideal gift for a stylish Valentine who sticks with traditional looks – think Jackio O., or J. Crew’s effortless East Coast chic.

Diamond, White and Rose Gold Heart Pendant

The typical diamond-encrusted heart pendant gets a sassy makeover with a tiny rose gold heart mounted on the side. The off-kilter heart gives the pendant a modern, fun vibe that will look beautifully delicate hanging from your Valentine’s neck. This pendant is also an adorable Valentine’s  gift choice for moms-to-be and moms with a young child; the large heart can represent mom while the mini rose gold heart is symbolic of the baby.
