Mabe Tahitian pearls form when a blister pearl grows attached to the surface of a mollusk- like all pearls, they begin when an irritant becomes trapped within. These pearls are cut, filled for added durability, and backed with mother of pearl. At HBJ, they are beloved for their dark orient and lustrous glow.
