South Sea Pearls – The Ultimate Solution in Expensive and Extravagant Jewelry

South Sea Pearls – The Ultimate Solution in Expensive and Extravagant Jewelry

Posted: April 07, 2011 

South Sea pearls are the rarest and most valuable pearls in the world. They stand out in the crowd with their size and the quality of nacre. Regular South Sea pearls reach about 13 to 15 mm in diameter. The nacre has an interior brightness instead of a light reflection, unlike all the other pearls. They are grown in the warm waters of Australia, Indonesia, Philippines, Myanmar and Thailand. When it comes to the colors, they have unique, yet variable nuances – from straight white to intense orange. About 90 percent of them come in white, cream or silver nuances and can also have secondary tones of rose, green or blue. The colors of the pearls are determined by the colors of the oyster’s covers.

A white South Sea pearl necklace is one of the most exotic, expensive and extravagant pieces of jewelry a lady can have. Combine it with the brightness of satin and it will simply light up her face. These white pearls are simply the most appropriate thing for any occasion, but not the most expensive one.

The most decadent piece of jewelry is by far a golden South Sea pearl necklace, which represents a real investment. This is because such pearls are extremely rare and their value is directly proportional with their age. The older they are, the more they get closer to being a real treasure. Such a necklace, with perfectly round, high quality South Sea pearls, can get up to $100,000. Their price isn't only influenced by their high quality and rarity, but also by the difficulty to be produced. The Pinctada Maxima oyster is rare and very sensitive. Therefore even the smallest change in the surrounding environment can lead to an unproductive behavior.
