Key Characteristics
-
Color:
Golden South Sea pearls range in color from light champagne to deep, rich gold. The most coveted pearls exhibit a vibrant, saturated golden hue. This stunning color is entirely natural and is attributed to the Pinctada maxima (gold-lip) oyster used in their cultivation. -
Size:
These pearls are exceptionally large, typically between 10mm and 20mm or more. Their size adds to their allure and rarity, as larger pearls require extended cultivation periods. -
Luster:
Renowned for their mirror-like luster, Golden South Sea pearls possess a glowing, radiant quality that enhances their warm golden tones. -
Shape:
While perfectly round pearls are the most prized, these pearls also come in oval, drop, button, or baroque shapes. Each shape offers a unique aesthetic appeal. -
Surface Quality:
Surface quality varies, with fewer blemishes indicating higher value. Natural imperfections are common, especially in larger pearls, but they add character and authenticity.
Origin and Cultivation
-
Sourced with Care:
Our Golden South Sea pearls are responsibly sourced from the pristine waters of the Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar, and Papua New Guinea, where the conditions are ideal for producing these rare gems. -
Expert Cultivation:
The cultivation process, taking 2 to 4 years or more, ensures that every pearl meets the highest standards of size, color, and luster. This meticulous process guarantees the premium quality of every pearl.
