What are South Sea Pearls? Why are they so valuable and rare?
South Sea pearls are the most sought after cultivated pearls in the world. They exhibit the highest levels of perfection in all the value factors – size, shape, surface cleanliness, and luster or nacre thickness. Their long cultivation time and limited cultivation area make them the rarest and most valuable pearls available.
South Sea pearls are the rarest of all the types of pearls. They are cultivated in saltwater and have thicker nacre layers than any other pearl, averaging around 2-4mm thick. Like most saltwater oysters, they are bead nucleated. Their growth period is 2-4 years, about double that of Akoya Pearls. South Sea pearl oysters are highly susceptible to disease and stress, so their cultivation is limited to their native, natural environment.
