At 12-13 mm, a Golden South Sea pearl has a beauty that immediately stands out. Its impressive size allows the interplay of light to reveal itself across the entire surface, from delicate golden reflections to deeper, warmer tones. This 12-13 mm Golden South Sea pearl pendant necklace places that beauty at the heart of an elegant piece of jewellery, worn on a fine 14K yellow gold chain.

Such a large, round pearl with a clean surface is the result of a lengthy cultivation process and careful selection. The AAA-quality pearl is distinguished by its deep lustre, harmonious shape and natural golden colour, so highly prized in South Sea pearls. These qualities become even more apparent at this size, when every reflection contributes to the beauty of the entire piece.

A fine 14K yellow gold (585 gold) chain, approximately 45 cm long, supports the pendant without competing with it. The decorative pearl cap, setting and all other metal components are made from the same yellow gold, whose colour harmonises with the pearl's natural tones. The result is a necklace with simple lines, where every detail contributes to the pearl's beauty.

Worn around the neck, this Golden South Sea pearl necklace naturally transforms an outfit. It can be the piece that completes an evening gown, or that precious detail that makes a white shirt or simple dress look entirely different. The pearl has enough presence to be worn on its own, without other accessories competing for attention.

You do not need a particular occasion to enjoy such a beautiful South Sea pearl. You can wear it when you want to feel elegant, when you have an important event to attend or simply when you take pleasure in choosing a special piece of jewellery. Its spectacular size gives it character, while its classic design makes it suitable for wearing and appreciating for many years.

A necklace like this is also a wonderful gift for a woman close to your heart. It can mark an important anniversary, an achievement or a moment you wish to remember. The piece comes complete with its gold chain and is presented in a complimentary premium wooden gift box, together with the KASKADDA certificate of warranty and authenticity. With proper care, a South Sea pearl can be preserved and passed on, eventually becoming a treasured family piece.

The beauty of South Sea pearls can be admired in every size in the collection. If you prefer a slightly smaller pearl that is just as beautiful, discover the 11-12 mm Golden South Sea pearl pendant necklace or the 10-11 mm version, both with an impressive visual presence. For those who prefer an even more imposing pearl, there is also the 13-13.5 mm Golden South Sea pearl pendant necklace, the largest version in this collection.

About South Sea Pearls:

• The value of a South Sea pearl is influenced not only by its size and any surface imperfections, but also by the intensity of its colour. Shades range from white with silvery overtones, characteristic of this pearl variety, to pale yellow and deep gold. The most valuable pearls have a colour approaching that of 24K gold.
• Unlike the mirror-like lustre of Akoya pearls, South Sea pearls have a satin-like appearance and seem to glow from within.
• White South Sea pearls come primarily from Australia, while golden varieties are mainly cultured in the Philippines and Indonesia. They are traded at exclusive auctions held only a few times a year in Japan and Hong Kong, where they are sold in mixed lots (white + golden). Because of their rarity, worldwide supplies are very limited, and only a small number of jewellery retailers offer pieces featuring these pearls.
• They have the thickest nacre layers of all pearls - between 2 and 4 mm - and the longest formation period. By comparison, an Akoya pearl forms in approximately 2 years, a Tahitian pearl in 2-3 years, while a South Sea pearl may take up to 4 years to develop.
• Pearl size is an important consideration when choosing the right piece of jewellery:
  • South Sea pearls measuring 8-10 mm are suitable for the office or formal meetings.
  • Pearls measuring 11-13 mm, opulent and elegant, are worn in the evening, at celebrations or special events.
