The "Queen of Pearls" — the largest, rarest cultured pearls, in silky natural white, silver-white and cream. Round, baroque and keshi strands.
Few pieces of jewelry are as timeless as the classic white pearl necklace. With this selection of elegant necklaces comprised of white South Sea cultured pearls, it's easy to find heirloom pieces that will be treasured for generations. These exquisite pearls are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, making it easy to choose from delicate, small, round pearls or larger baroque pearls for a statement necklace. These gorgeous white pearls from the South Sea are expertly matched by American Pearl's GIA-trained staff to ensure a lovely final look. So whether you want a traditional silver overtone or a multicolor strand with distinctive style, you'll be able to find it in this collection of South Sea white pearl necklaces.
White South Sea pearls are cultivated in the Silver Lip oyster (Pinctada maxima) in the pristine waters of Australia, Indonesia and the Philippines — the largest oyster in the world capable of producing a pearl. Their thick nacre gives a deep satiny luster and a size range from 9mm to an extraordinary 20mm.
Because so few are produced each year, a well-matched South Sea strand is graduated in size and hand-composed for consistent body color, shape, overtone and luster — what the trade calls "make." Every American Pearl South Sea necklace is naturally colored, untreated. Evaluation & Identification Report available.
