South Sea pearls are one of the rarest and prized pearls in the world. They can be identified chiefly thanks to their large size and are ordinarily the largest cultured pearls.

Tahitian pearls are primarily cultured in the warm waters of French Polynesia, around the islands of Tahiti. The Pinctada margaritiferid, or black-lipped oyster, is the species responsible for producing these pearls. Tahitian pearls are highly valued in the world of fine jewellery due to their rarity, unique colours, and larger size. The peacock and green hues, in particular, are highly sought after.

Akoya pearls typically have a smooth surface with minimal blemishes, contributing to their overall beauty and desirability. Akoya pearls have a long history in Japanese culture and are associated with elegance and beauty. They have been a symbol of purity and grace for centuries. Their classic appearance makes them a popular choice for bridal jewellery.

Keshi pearls are accidental by-products of the culturing process. Due to their small size and diverse shapes, Keshi pearls are versatile and can be used in both classic and contemporary jewellery designs. Their uniqueness and individuality make them appealing to those looking for something out of the ordinary.

Natural pearls, especially those with exceptional size, colour, and shape, can command high market values. Antique natural pearl jewellery is often highly sought after by collectors. Due to the rarity of natural pearls, conservation efforts are in place to protect natural pearl-producing environments.
