Avatoru, Rangiroa / French Polynesia
On the Avatoru side of Rangiroa's lagoon, Gauguin's Pearl grafts, harvests and sells its Tahitian black pearls in one place, with farm tours that walk you from oyster to jewel. Loose pearls and custom pieces leave the boutique with a certificate of authenticity — no middleman, no mainland markup.
Best for Tahitian black pearls bought where they were grown
Rotoava, Fakarava / French Polynesia
Working the Fakarava lagoon since 1989, Havaiki is a working pearl farm, run from the family lodge at Rotoava. Watch a graft, try your luck at the oyster lottery, and choose loose Tahitian pearls or house-made jewelry a few metres from the water that made them.
Best for Fakarava-grown pearls and a grafting demonstration
Rikitea, Mangareva / Papeete / Online
A family house that owns its farms — one at Rikitea in the Gambier Islands, one on Ahe — and sells mainly from its own harvests: loose pearls, keshis and finished jewelry. The boutique sits in Papeete, but the pearls answer to Mangareva's cold, slow lagoon, with online sales and video consultations for the rest of the world.
Best for Gambier-farmed black pearls, keshis and jewelry

Moe Moea sells Tahitian black pearls, custom island jewelry, and Polynesian art, with pieces made by its in-house bench jeweler and guest designers such as Yves Spinelli. Opened in 2021, it runs boutiques at Hotel Le Bora Bora and in Vaitape town.
