What are “South Seas Pearls” ?
South Sea Pearls refer to pearls grown in the southern ocean, mainly off the coast of Western Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Myanmar. They are grown in the Pinctada Maxima oyster which is the biggest oyster of all species (size 20-30cm).
There are the “yellow-lip” (mainly Philippines, Indonesia) and the “silver-lip” (mainly Australia and some parts of Indonesia) Pinctada Maxima oysters which all produce a slightly different colour of pearl.
Pearls produced range in size from 9 to 18mm (occasionally bigger). The largest cultured South Sea pearl is 24mm.
Either wild oysters or oysters from hatcheries are collected for pearl culturing. The period of cultivation is around two years.
South Sea pearls come in a variety of colours, ranging from white through to silver blue, and from cream to golden colours.
