Origin of the first creator

Chan Ming Wing Pearl International LTD: The first founder, CHAN Ming Wing, was born in China and grew up in Tahiti.
He had already been in the Tahitian pearl business for ten years in the early 1990's. However, as competition sharply grew locally, he decided to expand the reach of Tahitian pearls to his country of origin, Hong Kong as his first port of call.

Collaborator
In collaboration and with the support of G.I.E. POE RAVA NUI, one of the most reputable group in Tahiti, a cooperation of 450 family-owned micro-enterprises that account for approximately 15% of total "Tahitian Pearl" production.
The founder succeeded in establishing Tahitian pearl market in Hong Kong, which later became well-known for jewelers and pearl resellers.
Nowadays, crops are sold in private auctions, which attract reputable wholesalers and retailers from around the world because they empower them to select and purchase in large quantities.

Our Farming Facility

Along with collaborating with other farmers in French Polynesia to ensure a steady supply, we  also culture and harvest our own pearls on a small island called Taha'a .

A Tahitian pearl is cultured by an expert grafter who inserts a mollusk shell bead into the reproductive organ of the black lips oyster "Pinctada margaritifera". After culturing, it takes approximately one to three years for the black lips oyster to produce a pearl, and less than 5% of total crops are estimated to be perfect pearls, so once harvested, the pearls must also undergo a lengthy selection process before reaching the market, which is the primary reason pearls are so rare and expensive.
