Where do Golden South Sea pearls come from?

South Sea pearls are found in a large-breed oyster called Pinctada Maxima. These oysters live in the waters between Australia and China and are rarely found anywhere else.

The golden variety is especially rare and, along with the chances of finding the perfect shaped and sized pearl, is the primary reason they are high-end jewels.

Countries cultivating these pearls include Myanmar, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and China.
