As part of its mission to promote and support the commercialization of Tahitian cultured pearls, the Pearl House is conducting specialized seminars for pearl industry professionals and jewelry retailers. These training sessions, offered both in French Polynesia and internationally, aim to:
- Deepen knowledge of global pearl varieties, with special emphasis on Tahitian cultured pearls
- Enhance sales techniques for these precious gems
Program Objectives:
✔ Provide historical and market context for Tahitian pearls (local and international)
✔ Refine sales pitches and client engagement strategies
✔ Train participants as brand ambassadors offering expert advice on pearl care and usage
Recent Initiative:
At the request of GSMA (Adapted Military Service Group), the Pearl House organized an April 22-25, 2013 seminar as part of the “tourism sector” training program. Nine GSMA trainees participated to:
- Learn about Tahitian pearl cultivation
- Master pearl grading regulations
- Develop specialized sales skills for their future careers
Impact:
These efforts create knowledgeable, passionate professionals who will:

“Well-trained ambassadors are vital for sustaining our pearls’ premium positioning,” notes a Pearl House representative. The program reflects French Polynesia’s commitment to excellence across the pearl value chain.
