Why Should You Choose South Sea Shell Pearls?

South sea shell pearls are pearls made by crushing shells and producing perfect pearl shaped beads. These beads are then dipped in a solution containing ground iridescent fish scales or real pearl powder which coats them in a lustrous finish that is almost indiscernible from real pearls.

South Sea Shell pearls originally were manufactured in an attempt to imitate the highly sought after and incredibly expensive South Sea or Tahitian pearls grown in the Pinctada Maxima Oyster. These are found around the coast of Australia and the tip of Burma and through the Philippines and Indonesia.

The famous first lady Barbara Bush was renowned for always wearing her pearls, and years later revealed that hers were high quality imitation! South Sea shell pearls pass all the normal tests used by the casual enthusiast to determine genuineness, and no-one will even be able to tell you are not wearing the real thing!

This is a boon to those of us who would love to have Tahitianpearl strands but do not want to pay for the mid-five-figure price tags. You can get South Sea shell pearls and wear them with impunity!

Real South Sea pearls come a variety of hues, from muted cream and to deep blue black and vibrant yellow. The South Seashell pearls can be bought in any color desired, and make an compelling statement when worn to a formal gathering or a high powered board meeting.

The size of South Sea pearls makes them particularly sought after, and the prices increase dramatically with size, as perfection becomes rarer.South Sea Shell pearls, however, can be made as large as the wearer desires without sacrificing roundness or luster.
