Ile Ronde 18k Gold South Sea White Round 11 mm

South Sea pearls are considered some of the most luxurious and valuable pearls in the world and their colour varies from white to champagne or golden.
Known for their exceptional luster, which is often described as "satiny" or "soft", South Sea pearls are rare because the oysters that produce them are less common and require specific pristine environment to thrive.
Our stunning white South Sea pearls are ethically sourced in farms off the coasts of Australia and of AAA quality. Oceano provides a certificate of authenticity with each pearl.

Pearls are the only gemstones whose shape, lustre, and colour cannot be modified. They are a direct creation of the ocean, making each pearl one-of-a-kind.

Each of our high quality South Sea pearls is an investment in one of the ocean’s most unique natural treasures.

Sourcing
Farming pearls is the most ecological way to find pearls without depleting the environment. Pearl oysters need crystal clear water in order to thrive, as they act as natural filters for the ocean and cannot survive in polluted areas. We carefully choose eco-friendly, certified Fair Trade Origin farms whose practices respect the environment and the ocean.
It takes from 3-10 years for South Sea pearls to mature and be harvested. Once the pearl has grown to 7mm, pearl farmers can respectfully remove it without damaging the oyster. The oyster will only produce 1 or 2 more pearls in its lifetime. The South Sea pearl can grow until 20mm in size.
