AUSTRALIAN SOUTH SEA PEARLS

The Australian South Sea pearl comes from the Pinctada maxima oyster and is the largest and rarest of all pearl oysters and produces the finest and most beautiful pearl nacre of any mollusc.

Divers collect the wild oysters by hand in the pristine waters off north-west Australia. They are then taken to pearl farms, where they are nurtured in the hope that they will produce a gem quality pearl. Not every oyster will produce a pearl, and apart from rare exceptions, most will produce only one pearl at a time.

Caring for your pearl

Here are a few simple tips for caring for your precious pearl.

Some chemicals may harm pearls. Wait until after applying makeup, perfume, and hair products before putting on pearl jewellery. Wipe pearl jewellery with a soft cloth before putting it away. Store pearl jewellery wrapped in a soft cloth to protect it from rubbing against harder gems or abrasive objects. Occasionally clean your pearls gently with a cloth dipped in alcohol diluted with warm water or in mild soapy water. Rinse the cloth in fresh water and wipe pearls clean. Dry with a soft cloth.

Condition: 100% Brand New.
