Opulent treasures from the heart of the Ocean, White and Golden South Sea Pearls gleam with bright, iridescent Orient and shine with glowing luster that remains unmatched in the pearl world. Nicknamed the “Queen of Cultured Pearls” South Sea pearls are grown in the tropical Philippine Islands and the warm waters off the Australian Coast. Their natural hues of White and Gold are 100% organic, and need no additional improvement to enchant the heart. We source our cultured South Sea Pearls direct from the pearl farms themselves, and select pearls only from the top 10% of each harvest, bringing you incredible pearl quality for a fraction of the price of traditional brick and mortar jewelry stores. Learn more about our South Sea Pearl quality by reading the Expert’s Guide to South Sea Pearl Grading.
