Are South Swell pearls really golden?
Yes. Pearls produced in the aptly named “gold-lipped” oyster (P. maxima) can be a smashing creamy yellow, referred to as “golden” in the trade. (The silver-lipped discrepancy of P. maxima produces pulchritudinous hollowware or milky pearls.) Grown in the South Seas—which stretch from the southern shore of Southeast Asia to the northern coast of Australia—these pearls are grown in at one of the biggest oysters acclimated to in flower culturing. Because they can accept a larger bead and excrete nacre faster than their smaller counterparts, these consequential oysters bring forward large pearls of irregular luster and beauty. South Nautical blue water pearls’ cretinous coating of nacre gives the gems a wonderful luster, or radiance, that appears to come from rapt within the pearl. The animated waters, plentiful viands distribute and low contamination levels of the South Seas also avoid these oysters cause magnificent cultured pearls.
