Rare and beautiful, South Sea pearls are the known as the Queen of all pearls, and demand a premium price due to their size, lustre and quality. South Sea pearls are known to have the thickest average nacre of all cultured pearls, with an unparalleled lustre.

South Sea pearls range from 7mm up to 20+mm with the majority of the pearls falling in the 9-15mm range and anything above 15mm incredibly rare.
