The market showcases traditional and locally made French Polynesian handicrafts and items from several islands in French Polynesia. The natural color of Tahitian pearls comes from black lip oysters, and these pearls are rare and expensive to produce. Jewelry featuring these gemstones is generally high-end, making them some of the most sought-after gems in the world. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
