点评:To celebrate our milestone birthdays, my girlfriends and I decided to treat ourselves to something meaningful — Tahitian pearls. We did some research and decided to go to Paimoana, and from the moment we walked in, we knew we had found something special.
Peter, the owner, welcomed us with the kind of warmth and knowledge that only comes from a lifetime of passion. He shared stories about how he sailed from Canada, settled here in beautiful French Polynesia and started the pearl farm. He introduced us to aubergine, peacock, pistachio, and all kinds of unique pearls... He even shared the saying, "Sometimes, it’s not you who chooses the pearl — it’s the pearl that chooses you." That truly resonated with us, especially as each of us found the one piece that seemed to speak just to our soul.
Ashlin, our sales rep, was incredibly helpful and patient. She made the whole process feel relaxed and personal, helping each of us select pearls that reflected our individual taste and budget. Every piece was customized to fit us — no pressure, just genuine care and attention.
What made this experience even more special was the shop itself. It had that old-school charm you rarely find anymore — no flashy displays, just timeless elegance and honest craftsmanship. Being there felt like stepping into a more graceful era, where shopping was about connection, meaning, and artistry.
We left not only with stunning Tahitian pearls, but also with a deeper appreciation for their meaning — and a beautiful memory shared among lifelong friends. Thank you, Peter and Ashlin, for helping make our milestone birthday celebration truly unforgettable.

店主彼得热情地接待了我们,那种热情和知识只有他毕生的热情才能体现出来。他讲述了自己从加拿大航行到美丽的法属波利尼西亚定居,并创办珍珠养殖场的故事。他向我们介绍了茄子珍珠、孔雀珍珠、开心果珍珠以及各种独特的珍珠……他甚至还说:“有时候,不是你选择了珍珠,而是珍珠选择了你。”这句话深深地触动了我们,尤其是当我们每个人都找到了那颗似乎能触动我们灵魂的珍珠时。
我们的销售代表阿什琳(Ashlin)非常乐于助人,而且非常耐心。她让整个过程感觉轻松而个性化,帮助我们每个人挑选出符合我们个人品味和预算的珍珠。每件饰品都为我们量身定制——没有压力,只有真诚的关怀和关注。
让这次体验更加特别的是这家店本身。它散发着如今难得一见的复古魅力——没有浮夸的陈列,只有隽永的优雅和纯粹的工艺。置身于此,仿佛步入了一个更加优雅的时代,购物关乎联系、意义和艺术。
我们不仅带回了令人惊艳的大溪地珍珠,也对它们的意义有了更深的理解——以及与终生挚友共同分享的美好回忆。感谢Peter和Ashlin,让我们的这个里程碑式的生日庆祝活动如此难忘。
