A Trip to Australia Reveals Giant Golden Wonder

Embrace the beauty of the South Seas with lush, golden jewels.

Just before 1900, in a small isolated town called Broome Australia, fishermen came across the rarest oyster—a giant named the Pinctada maxima. This world’s largest oyster contained the voluptuous South Sea Pearl— the most sought after pearl in the world. After this discovery, Broome soon became the dominant pearl trading post in the world and literally 80% of all worldwide pearl trading passed through Broome. A trip to Broome. We took the long trip to the South Pacific to find the famous white lipped oysters that produced magnificent pearls that are often 11-14mm about 8 times the size (and 8 times the price!) of a standard pearl. Not only did these oysters produce the rare South Sea pearl, they also produced tremendous amounts of mother of pearl or nacre. Nacre is the lustrous iridescent substance secreted by the oyster to form the inside of their shells. When nacre secretions are deposited around the pearl seed they build up to form a full sized pearl. Mother Nature made better. Our bioscientists went to work to see if we could improve upon Mother Nature. We sped up the process in the lab by extracting the seed pearl from young oyster shells. We then coated these natural austral seeds with nacre from the inside of the giant shells, and were able to produce the breathtaking Australian Pacific Golden Necklace. Golden beauties. This pairing of science and nature results in extremely large spheres—12mm—but they are much more consistent in shape than pearls extracted from 4-5 year old oysters. They are also less porous so you don’t have to worry about perfumes or cosmetics discoloring this necklace like you do with ordinary pearls. In a more ecologically friendly approach, the South Sea pearl seeds are extracted from fresh oyster shells and then organically micro-coated in the laboratory with the same nacre that coats naturally grown pearls. Our luxurious giant 11–14mm golden South Sea pearls cost $9,995 for an 18" strand with 14K gold clasp. But now you have a choice. You can wear a stunning 18"Australian Pacific Golden Necklace crafted from the organic nacre of the giant Pinctada maxima for under $100. This necklace is strikingly beautiful, but so much more affordable. A rare deal. Try the Australian Pacific Golden Collection for 30 days.
