Golden South Sea Pearls – The Most Precious Gifts From The Seas

Golden South Sea Pearls are one of the largest and most precious pearls available today. They are grown in the yellow-lipped variant of the Pinctada Maxima – South Sea Pearl oyster. Their cream, yellow or golden tones are entirely natural and no external polishing or embellishment is required to enjoy the charm of these magnificent gems. 

Comparison with other types of Pearls 

Just like white South Sea pearls, Golden South Sea Pearls are usually larger than other varieties of saltwater pearls. Their host shell is known to be the biggest pearl-producing oyster and can grow pearls typically from 9 to 15 mm, where some of the pearls can even reach beyond 20mm. However, the growth period of these pearls can range from 2-4 years, unlike the Akoya pearls which take one to two years and Tahitian pearls that grow in less than two years.


The quality of the golden South Sea pearl is considerably dependent upon the colour, the darker the golden colour, the more precious the pearl. The overall worth of these pearls is higher than Tahitian or Japanese Akoya Pearls. 

More about Colours, Shapes and Sizes 

Pearls are grown in the yellow-lip South Sea pearl oyster range in colours, they can be found in creamy white to deep golden colours. The different colours in between are usually called champagne and yellow. Each and every colour looks beautiful in its own unique way, however, golden is considered most beautiful. 

Since South Sea Pearls are large, they tend to have a thicker nacre. Due to this reason, not every golden South Sea pearl is as perfectly spherical as other varieties of saltwater pearl. One can find a large variety of button pearls, drop pearls, baroque pearls and circle pearls. 

How valuable and precious are they?

Amongst all the cultured pearl varieties available today, South Sea pearls are undoubtedly the winners in the pearl landscape.  Their large size, fascinating colour range, make them one of the most desired pearl types. 

Where do they come from? 

Although White South Sea pearls mostly come from Australia, golden South Sea pearls are now significantly cultivated in Indonesia and the Philippines, with Australia only covering a small percentage.
