GOLDEN SOUTH SEA PEARLS

Golden South Sea pearls are among the largest, most valuable pearls produced today. They are grown in the gold-lip variety of the Pinctada maxima, South Sea pearl oyster. Their warm, golden tones are completely natural and untreated. Their host shell is the largest pearl-producing oyster, and as with other saltwater oysters, the Pinctada maxima is bead-nucleated. However, the growth period is approximately 2-4 years, unlike the Akoya pearls, which develop in one to two years, and Tahitian pearls which develop in under two years. Golden South Sea pearls come primarily from the Philippines and Indonesia, with a small percentage coming from Australia. All prices in USD Handmade in our workshop in Spain
