White South Sea Pearls and Their Unique Lustre

The Size of White South Sea Pearls

White South Sea Pearls are generally very large gems, much bigger than other types of pearls. These gemstones also have, on average, the thickest nacre of all cultured pearls. All of these factors come together to make this pearl type the most valuable on the market today.

On rare occasions, cultivated South Sea Pearls have been known to grow as large as 20 millimetres in size. Generally, only up to 30% of harvest will produce near-round and round pearls. The gems that come from the South Sea oysters can also be drop-shaped and baroque. These are often used when creating unique, high-end pearl jewellery.

The Formation of White South Sea Pearls

The gems are created by South Sea saltwater oysters. They are bead nucleated, so theres no danger to the environment or the oysters themselves. These gems take about 2-4 years to fully develop and be ready for harvesting. White South Sea Pearls are also very sensitive to various factors. Therefore, culturing areas are quite limited. All of these factors increase their value even more.

Silver-lipped South Sea saltwater oysters produce pearls in various colours. Some of the most common overtones come from the silver, blue, aqua, and white families of overtones. Gold-lipped oysters produce gems in colours such as deep gold, champagne and cream. Because the colours of these pearls are often so rich, they are rarely processed beyond simple washing and buffing after harvest.

The Value of White South Sea Pearls

White South Sea Pearls are known for retaining their value better than all other types of pearls. And, because they are so unusually large and quite rare, the South Sea Pearls value continues to last a lifetime. The big beauties of the sea make perfect gifts for that classy, special someone. Moreover, given their impressively thick nacre, they are sure to stand the test of time.

These stunning gemstones will flatter any wardrobe. Youll love their amazing natural sparkle, shine, and glow. Check out our gorgeous selection of White South Sea Pearls today!

Offering A Lifetime Of Value

The South Sea Pearl is known for retaining its value better than all other types of pearls. This is perhaps due to the fact they are quite rare, despite advances in South Sea Pearl farming. These breathtaking gems also have an impressively thick nacre, which makes them particularly durable and capable of standing the test of time. This is a result of the intricate biology of the South Sea Pearl Oyster, which continues to captivate pearl wearers and enthusiasts.

Matched Pearls For The Person Who Has It All

When it comes to finding that special gift, whether for a birthday, anniversary, or wedding, you cannot go wrong with all the pearls! A set of Golden South Sea Pearls, for example, are a wonderful way to mark a golden wedding anniversary.
