Mo'orea Bracelet | Handmade Apatite & Tahitian Pearl Bracelet on 14k Gold Fill | Mai Love
MO'OREA BRACELET
The color of the lagoon. The pearl of the islands.
Our newest hand-wrapped bracelet of faceted Tahiti Blue Apatite gemstones in the exact lagoon-blue of Mo'orea, finished with a single silver-toned Tahitian pearl at the center. Each stone is individually wire-wrapped on 14k gold fill, giving the bracelet that delicate, jewelry-box quality you don't find in strung designs.
About the name
Mo'orea is the island just across the lagoon from Tahiti — known for impossibly clear, deep blue water and the stunning pearls that come from its waters. This bracelet carries both: the blue of the lagoon in faceted apatite, and the deep iridescent shimmer of a single Tahitian pearl.

About Blue Apatite
Apatite is a rare gemstone known for its unmistakable Pacific-blue color — closer to lagoon water than any other stone. Each piece is faceted by hand to catch the light. Because apatite is natural and unenhanced, you'll see subtle variations in tone and clarity from bracelet to bracelet — that's how you know yours is one of one.
About Tahitian pearls
Tahitian pearls are grown in the warm waters around French Polynesia, including the lagoons of Mo'orea, Huahine, Taha'a and Tahiti. Their natural deep colors — silver, graphite, peacock, and aubergine — come from the black-lipped oyster (Pinctada margaritifera). Each pearl is one of a kind. Yours is sourced through our family in Huahine and Taha'a where Mai Love has worked with the same pearl farms for over a decade.
How it wears
Beautiful on its own. Even better stacked with your other Mai Love bracelets and bangles, or layered with the matching Mo'orea Necklace. Sits delicately on the wrist — light enough to wear daily, statement enough to be noticed.
A note from Julie
"I named this one for Mo'orea — the island just across the lagoon from Tahiti. The blue of this apatite is the blue of that water. The pearl is from the same warm Tahitian waters. This piece carries the whole story in one little bracelet. I hope you love her as much as I do! "
