The golden South Sea pearl is among the rarest natural colors in cultured pearl production - a warm honey-gold tone that comes from the specific pigmentation of the Pinctada maxima oyster rather than treatment or dye. At 11 millimeters, this cultured South Sea pearl in an 18K yellow gold over sterling silver setting creates a ring where the warm tones of the gold and the warm tones of the pearl harmonize in a way that white pearls in gold settings cannot achieve. The tonal unity of golden pearl and gold metal is one of the most luxurious looks in pearl jewelry. A genuinely distinctive ring for the customer who knows the difference.
