Cultivated in the waters off Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar, Japan and Thailand, the South Sea Pearl is the most rare and valuable among cultured pearls. The South Sea Pearl typically ranges in size between 10 to 20mm with the average pearl measuring 11 to 14mm. Produced in the rather large oyster Pinctada Maxima, the culturing process of the South Sea Pearl is more extensive as compared to other cultured pearls. The oysters used are a wild species and supply for cultivation is never certain. In addition, the South Sea Pearl oysters are nurtured in isolated bays of the purest waters, far away from industrial areas.

Depending on the variety of the Pinctada Maxima oyster, these exceptionally rare and extraordinary South Sea pearls come in different lustrous colors. The silver lipped oyster produces pearls in the white, silver, aqua, and blue family of overtones, while the gold lipped oyster pearls exude cream, champagne, vanilla, and deeper golden tones. The natural colors of South Sea Pearls are truly rich and beautiful and need no enhancement to bring out their soft satin-like glow.
