About Australian Black-Lip Oysters: An oyster, known scientifically as Pinctada margaritifera, found in the South Pacific, in areas such as Australia, Fiji, Tahiti, Okinawa, Cook Islands, Persian Gulf, parts of Indian Ocean, Baja California and the Gulf of Mexico. This particular species of oyster grows to about twelve inches in diameter and produces a wide range of dark-colored pearls commonly called "Tahitian pearls" or "black pearls." The natural colors of pearls grown by this oyster include silver/white, light gray, dark gray, orange, gold, green, blue, purple, and black. The Black Lip pearl oyster has been valued by people in the Indo-Pacific region for centuries. Its shell was used for making jewelry, decorations, and tools, such as fish hooks and knives. The Black Lip Oysters’ “mother of pearl” inner shell has beautiful iridescent qualities. This pendant is created from Australian Mother of Pearl shells, the same shell of the oysters that give birth to superb Black South Sea Pearls. The Mother of Pearl shell is surface polished to display a beautiful shine along with its natural rainbow colored hues and iridescence. Gorgeous and radiant in appearance!
