Buying pearls from Eva was such an amazing experience, not only is she extremely honest about her pearls but she gives you a step by step guide on how to choose pearls as well as telling you the history of how pearls are made and exactly where your pearls are from. She was a wealth of knowledge and my husband... More

We visited Eva's store back in August 2011(our honeymoon). We found her through Tripadvisor. Eva makes you feel very welcomed. She spend about 2 hours with us talking about pearls. It was very educational and interesting. I bought a beautiful peacock colored pearl pendant made by Eva herself. I asked to go outside with her to see how my pearl... More

Our 2 visits to Eva Perles became part of the great memories made on our trip. I say 2 visits because we went their on our first shopping trip, liked what we saw, loved the education they provided, but we wanted to be sure we were buying from the right place. Later we visited nearly every other shop on the... More

My wife and I were on our honeymoon and were recommended Eva by our travel agent. Her glowing review of Eva was spot on! At Eva Perles we were treated like more than just customers. Eva spent time getting to know us and teaching us about pearls. She is very knowledgeable and very friendly. She is honest and not pushy.... More

We recently visited a couple of the Islands for spring break, 25th wedding Anniversary. I had read a bit about buying pearls -- enough to be completely overwhelmed. We stopped in Eva's (I had read about her in a Fodor's book). She was fantastic -- totally worked in my range and the quality of the pieces I purchased is great.... More

My husband and I spent a week on Moorea. While there I wanted to get at least one pearl. We visited a number of shops. When we ventured into Eva's Pearls we were immediately struck by the artistry in her pieces. Eva was an amazing help in choosing my first purchase in Tahitian pearls. She is an artist and her...

My husband and I purchased a ring from Eva in December of 2011. We also bought items from other people she recommended. It was such a joy to spend time with Eva. After visiting Moorea, where we bought thousands of dollars of pearls, we then visited 5 other islands. Our flight departing Papeete was very early in the morning and... More
