about South Sea pearls:
The Pinctada maxima oyster, the largest and arguably most valued of the salt water pearl producing mollusks, produces the coveted pearl known as the South Sea Pearl, that naturally occurs in several colors ranging from white and cream, to silver, pink, and gold. Pinctada maxima oysters grow up to 12 inches in diameter, larger than any other salt-water pearl producing mollusk, and are split between gold-lipped and silver-lipped varieties, which can produce a pearl as large as 23mm. The color of the mother of pearl inside the shell determines the color of pearl the oyster produces. Water temperature, plankton and sediments determine which color variety is more common in a given area. Cultured South Sea pearls are produced in Australia, Philippines, Indonesia and as far north as Viet Nam - anywhere where pristine ocean waters exist. As an industry, pearl farmers depend on clean waters and contribute to the sustainability of the sea with their activities and advocacy.
