The first successful harvest of 1963 proved that a pearl culturing industry was possible in the region.

The trade designation " Tahiti Cultured Pearl" is exclusively used  in cultured pearls produced by the Pinctada Margaritifera oyster , found in French Polynesia . According to the government regulation , the pearls must display a continuous pearly layer covering at least 80 % of the surface and cannot reveal the underlying nucleus . Pearls not meeting these criteria will be considered as rejects as cannot be sold. When harvesting pearls , the pearl farmer performs an initial sort of his crop, discarding all the rejects. He will then proceed to a more detailed separation , sorting out pearls by size , shape and surface quality .

Monoï oil is an infused perfume-oil made from soaking the petals of Tahitian gardenias (best known as Tiaré flowers) in coconut oil. Monoï (pronounced Mah-noy) is a Tahitian word meaning "scented oil" in the Reo-Maohi language. Monoï is widely used among French Polynesians as a skin and hair softener. It is also popular in Europe and gaining recognition in the United States.

Authentic Tahitian monoi oil follows a strict manufacturing code that oversees the entire process from handpicking the tiare flowers to storage and shipping of the final product. This process has been validated and protected by an Appellation of Origin which was awarded to Monoi de Tahiti on April 1, 1992.
