South Sea Pearls are large in size.
Usually, ranging from 9mm to 18mm in diameter, South Sea pearls are also reputable for their strong nacre coating surrounding its mother-of-pearl nuclei.
A true monarch of cultured pearls, it is worn in its natural state, hence not needing any colour enhancements.
South Sea pearls are grouped in two colour categories:
- White South Sea pearls
- Dark South Sea pearls
- The white ones are characteristic of cultivations in Australia, Indonesia and the Philipines.
The Dark South Sea pearls are notoriously represented by the black Tahitians. These are characteristic of the dark South Sea gender, originating in the ´black-lipped´ oyster.
The Black South Sea pearls come, not only from Tahiti, but also from the Gambier Islands of French Polynesia.
There is a third quality of South Sea pearls although somewhat more rare. These are the Golden South Sea pearls. They originate from the ´Gold-Lipped´oyster found in Indonesia and Australia.
South Sea cultured pearls are usually high priced due to their scarcity.
The range in value may vary according to the size, lustre, shape, colour and degree of natural blemishes. In the case of strands, the matching of all criteria mentioned above will determine the price anywhere from one to ten thousand U.S. dollars or more.

International Pearl Exposition and Auction has recently been held in Guangzhou, China. Merchants and bidders, both at home and abroad, were deeply impressed by the rare and valuable pearl jewelry from all over the world. However, it’s hard to find the well-known domestic Zhejiang freshwater pearls among the glittering jewels.
With the fame as the “No. 1 global bidding”, International Pearl Exposition and Auction is held two or three 
times every year. This year, we had the honor to hold the exposition and auction in Guangzhou. It should have been a very good opportunity for the local sellers to display their pearls without traveling abroad. Nevertheless, some 40 local buyers came just to bid with those of the same trade.
“Most of the displayed pearls are from oversea producer.” Said Mark Wu from (Topearl Jewlery Inc. http://www.topearl.com/), “China leads the world in production of saltwater akoya pearls, freshwater pearls also account for 90 percent of the world’s output. But we had very few qualified entries.” This is nothing new but a reflection of the current situation of the international pearl market. Since medium and low grade pearls are in the majority in China, we only hold 10 percent of trading volume in the world’s pearl market. Each year, China mainly exported low-valued un-finished pearl beads and strands, not high added-value pearl jewelry such as pearl necklace, bracelet and pearl earrings etc. The absence of Zhejiang Pearls simply reflected our embarrassment among the general Chinese pearl industry.
