Please come and learn about the beautiful Tahitian pearl in our 10 minutes "Pearl school". It is very educational, and informative. This will help you understand the difference between a good quality pearl, and poor quality. The purpose of our pearl school is to help take the mystery out of the Tahitian pearl, and understand the difference in value. Our purpose is to educate you first, and not sell. Once you have all the proper information the pearls sell themselves. Looking forward to helping you find that perfect Tahitian Pearl, that will last you a lifetime of great memories of your Tahitian vacation.Mauru'uru « less

“Not just Pearls- bathing suits too!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 18, 2012

I went to Island Fashion after reading about it on a blog. I was looking for swimsuits, but was impressed with the pearl selection as well. They had some uniques settings that I had not seen before. The family who runs the shop are very helpful. They picked me up from the Hilton and the daughter, Vaitiati(?) was patient and... More

My husband and I were just looking around at pearls before we visited Island Fashion, not really sure if we were going to buy anything. High-quality black pearls are very expensive. Island Fasion offers a very informative pearl school and did not pressure us into buying anything. That said, they have very effective sales techniques (this is a compliment!). They... More

“Outstanding service - highly recommended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 14, 2011

We visited Island Fashion Black Pearl on our honeymoon in Moorea as I wanted to browse some pearl earrings and wasn't sure about what to look for, what price range and had very little knowledge. I was a little reluctant to visit the hotel shops for fear of being ripped off or trapped in a hard sell. I found that... More

“Ron Hall's Island Fashion, The Best Pearls in Tahiti”

My Husband & I went to Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora for our Honeymoon in January 2009. My Husband said "Hey, babe, why don't I buy you some of those Tahitian pearls" Woo Hoo! So, I shopped several stores, including high end Pearl boutiques on all of the Islands we visited during our holiday. We took the recommendations of tripadvisor... More

“Very happy with my Black Pearl ring”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 21, 2009

My husband and I were in Moorea in September 2007 and we purchased a black pearl ring from Ron Hall. The pearl is absolutely beautiful and of excellent quality. If memory serves me, I believe I paid under $800.00 for my ring. I love it and wear it every day. We will be travelling back to Moorea in January and... More

We just returned from our cruise and had our multi-colored Tahitian pearl necklace, which we purchased from Island Fashion Black Pearls appraised, by a master gemological appraiser. You can trust Ron Hall and his son. The pearls appraised for $24,000, yet we paid approximately $22,000. I asked the appraiser to be as conservative as possible, which is what he did.... More
