WILLS JEWELLERY【Natural South Sea Gold Pearl Collection】

1. The origin of South Sea pearls and gold pearls

South Sea pearls are generally produced by two types of mother oysters: the white-lipped oyster and the gold-lipped oyster. The white-lipped oyster produces white South Sea pearls, while the gold-lipped oyster produces golden South Sea pearls, also known as gold pearls. South Sea pearls are round, pure, large, and possess an innate natural beauty, not relying on artificial processing like bleaching or dyeing as other pearls do. It is precisely because of these advantages that South Sea pearls are so unique.
The color of the pearl is mainly determined by the color of the nacre secreted by its mother oyster. The golden pearls we commonly refer to are generally South Sea gold pearls. South Sea gold pearls, abbreviated as "gold pearls," are a type of South Sea pearl. The mother oyster that produces natural golden pearls is a gold-lipped oyster that secretes golden nacre.

2. The cultivation of golden South Sea pearls

Gold pearls are produced by the gold-lipped oyster, which is the largest of the oyster species, resulting in very large South Sea gold pearls. A high-quality gold pearl takes more than 5 years to form, excluding the time for the oyster species to grow. Additionally, the mother oyster has high environmental requirements, making it very susceptible to death during the cultivation process, resulting in a very low yield of South Sea gold pearls. In the past two years, as more people have joined the pursuit, the suitable waters for gold pearl growth have decreased due to environmental pollution, and some pearl farmers have abandoned the industry, leading to a decline in the supply of gold pearls while consumer demand has increased. Therefore, the price of gold pearls has tripled in four years.
