The start of the adventure:
Polynesian pearl farms
Our story began amidst our travels to Polynesian pearl farms.
In the early 2000s, Mehdi Abdellaoui set off on an adventure to the island of Tahiti and the idyllic Tuamotu–Gambier atolls to learn the trade of pearl merchant.
After several years of training, he returned to mainland France with the idea of setting up a company specialising in the import of Tahitian pearls to promote the beauty of these pearls around the world.
In 2009, the Paris-based company Les Merveilles du Pacifique was founded, becoming the exclusive supplier of Tahitian pearls to professionals in the jewellery sector.
A
global presence
Harvested directly from the Tuamotu–Gambier pearl farms in French Polynesia, the pearls produced by our company, Les Merveilles du Pacifique, are distinguished by the uniqueness of their natural colours and lustre. A little treasure from the waters of the Pacific, the colours of these pearls are of a rare depth and truly mesmerising.
Bringing colour to the pearl market is our priority, so that the Tahitian pearl may shed its labels of ‘black pearl’ and ‘grey pearl’.
Our pearls first made their way onto the French market through trade fairs in Paris and Lyon. Then, in 2015, we continued our expansion across Europe through international trade fairs (England, Germany, Italy).
Since 2016, we have had a presence at the global pearl hub in Hong Kong.
After supplying loose pearls to jewellery designers, we launched a collection of pearl jewellery in a variety of shapes, set in gold and rhodium-plated silver.
Our jewellery

Through timeless and refined jewellery, Les Merveilles du Pacifique is modernising the image of the Tahitian pearl whilst introducing you to the richness of Polynesian culture.
Every cultured pearl piece in our collection – whether necklaces, bracelets, earrings or pendants – is available in a wide range of colours and pearlescent shades: from silvery grey to peacock green, including deep aubergine.
Our creations are the result of our renowned expertise in Tahitian cultured pearls, a true guarantee of quality and authenticity. Through each unique piece, we convey the history and art of Polynesian pearl farming.
