Product Code SKU2029. 11mm 18ct Yellow Gold South Sea Pearl Ring Size O. South Sea Pearls come from pearl farms in tropical waters in the southern hemisphere. Generally the pearls grown in this area range in size from 9mm to 18mm (sometimes larger) The culturing of pearls has been active in Australia since the 1950's. The process for culturing pearls requires a technician to implant a seed in the animal which then is coated in a secreted nacre by the animal. This is an ongoing process over a number of years. The depth of this nacre is what gives the South Sea Pearl its world renowned lustre. You will find a colour variation which can be a sign of the water temperature and the food source for the animal in any particular area. Beautifully presented in a gift box.
