Get ready to glow in this rare and stunning white South Sea pearl necklace. This luxurious strand holds 29 natural white South Sea pearls, graduated in size, and individually hand-knotted on a 16-inch cord that's finished with a fancy 14 karat yellow gold clasp. The impressive large round pearls measure between 13 and 15 millimeters in diameter approximately and display a natural silvery white color and a gorgeous high luster. Wear these exceptional pearls for a radiant look on special occasions, and expect to attract admiring glances. The rare and exquisite South Sea pearl is a gem of exceptional beauty. South Sea pearls are cultivated inside the white-lipped variety of the pinctada maxima oyster. Grown and nurtured in the northern waters of Australia, the Philippines, and Indonesia, these oysters produce large round pearls with an unusually thick nacre, a high luster, and a distinctive silvery-white color. Because the process is time consuming (requiring at least two years for a single pearl) and because the oysters are highly sensitive to cultivation, South Sea pearls are rare and quite valuable. Noted for their size, smoothness, and lovely round shape, South Sea pearls make an extraordinary gift.
