Champon Pearl Farm

Very cool and detailed tour! They offer free moorings if you go on tour, which is free too. A great variety of pearls if you choose to buy some, at the same time, absolutely no push to purchase anything.

So fascinating to learn how Tahitian black pearls are made. The family that runs the farm is friendly and we loved getting to see the entire process of Pearl farming! The jewelry and pearls were stunning. They did a great job explaining what makes a pearl so valuable. It’s a small farm and they don’t export any of their pearls, so it was a fun place to get a souvenir that will last even if it’s slightly more expensive than what you could find elsewhere.

The tour was really interesting and I would recommend if you are in the area to do the tour. It is also free which is nice and we didn't feel any pressure to buy anything. As others have mentioned the prices here are a little steep but there is some really good quality. We ended up buying one nice pearl here, and then buying some more jewelry in Papeete for a little cheaper.

The tour and the people were very nice and knowledgable. It was around 30 mins, where at the end we visited the boutique and looked at their designs. No pressure to buy anything, which we liked. The pearls here are top quality, for they are small, don’t expert and only sell to designers. So the pricess are a little bit steep. We ended up buying a really nice pearl.

Nice and very welcoming Boutique Pearl Farmer. I said boutique cause price here are high! You can get good information with very friendly people.

Beware of this place! I bought this pearl for about $140 online from them, aside from the fact that it is loaded with indentations it arrived with a huge scratch across it's surface (half of the pearl covered with it) It was in a fabric pouch, could no way get injured like this during shipping.Seller could no way not know it was scratched like this , and sent this damaged pearl like this without disclosing it is scratched in the description or in the listing photo.When I've contacted them about the scratch, Maeva tried to convince me that this is a great pearl, she knows it's color and luster well and how such good value I've got for my money,( so she must have checked it out real good before sending it if she knew how it looks so much) but, she says I should of been aware that it is a C grade pearl and such I bought it with acknowledging such imperfections (she tried to tell me that a scratch considered to be imperfection in pearl grading).She tried to convince me that the scratch could be included generally in a C grade pearl along with dents When I told her that it is damage not imperfection, she denied of knowing of it, and trying to force me to send this back on my own expense. As of now despite many email exchanges she is still sticking to her story of not knowing of the scratch and that I should send it back at my own expense.Or that I should buy more stuff from them and than she will give me some discount. (heck no!) My advice to anybody: do not buy from them online.You don't know what you getting and than it's a whole lot of wasting your time and energy to get your money back.Ps. Much better quality pearls for half us much can be bought pretty much anywhere. Copy pasted her words when I've said to her that the pearl has scratches on it: So Maevas own words: "in the description of the product it is well said that the pearl you got is a C quality pearl. To make it clearer, for those that do not know much about classifying the pearls, it is also specified what a C quality pearl : "C Grade pearls have some surface defects but the pearls choosen for you have been selected for their exeptionnal colors and luster." The necklace you got has a pearl with a very nice and exceptional color, a very good luster, but some imperfections more or less deep. It is a C quality pearl, a very nice C quality pearl (I remember it)."

Very interesting tour where you learn from start to finish how the black pearls are farmed. As others have mentioned, prices are noticeably higher than comparable jewelry sold in Papeete (over 10x higher). While there are certainly intangible benefits to buying direct from the farm (maturation time of pearls, fair pay for workers), we felt hosed by how much we paid

Excellent service and good price for single pearl. You have to chose in between quality and price (they have chart, so it's very clear how much they charge, but the employee don't pressure customers. The guide visit was well explained (we thank the team, but mostly Rani).
