PRODUCT INFO

There are different kinds of pearls but only are four widely commercialized variety. These are the akoya pearl, the black pearl the freshwater pearl and the south sea pearl. Akoya pearls are common around the world also know more popularly as Mikimoto Pearls. The Black Pearl mostly come from Tahiti. Freshwater pearls are the cheapest variety coming mostly from China. South sea pearls, so called because they come from the south east asian region is the biggest of the four.

Quality wise, our south sea pearls rate among with the best that can be found in the world. They have good luster, color and shape. This is because our pearls have thick nacre coatings. Our location is ideal for nacre growth. And for the same amount of time left under the sea after implantation of nuclei, compared to some farms our nacre coating is considerably thicker.
