Are South Breaker pearls in point of fact 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 classification of P. maxima produces pulchritudinous silver or white pearls.) Grown in the South Seas—which broaden from the southern coast of Southeast Asia to the northern coast of Australia—these pearls are grown in one of the biggest oysters acclimated to in nonpareil culturing. Because they can undertake a larger bead and excrete nacre faster than their smaller counterparts, these big oysters bring forth large pearls of exceptional luster and beauty. South Mass pearls’ thick coating of nacre gives the gems a wonderful luster, or glow, that appears to come from deep within the pearl. The quick-tempered waters, over-sufficient provisions kit out and low spoiling levels of the South Seas also advise these oysters mould skilful cultured pearls.
