South Sea Pearl Earrings

South Sea pearl earrings are chosen for the visual presence of larger cultured pearls and their white, silver or golden color families. AKWAYA’s current South Sea earring assortment places particular emphasis on golden and light-golden pearls in refined stud, drop and lever-back designs.

South Sea earring buying guide and questions

How to choose South Sea pearl earrings

  • Pearl size: larger millimeter diameters create greater visual presence; compare sizes with the Pearl Size Guide.
  • Color: golden South Sea pearls may range from lighter champagne-like tones to deeper gold, so use the product photos and listed color.
  • Setting and metal: confirm stud, drop or lever-back construction and the exact metal or karat stated for each design.
  • Quality and matching: compare luster, surface, shape, color and pair matching using the Pearl Grading Guide.

South Sea pearl earring questions

How do I compare a golden pearl's color and its setting metal?

Golden describes the pearl's color, while the setting metal and karat are separate product details. Check the current listing and selected option for both; a golden pearl color does not by itself specify a gold setting.

What should I compare in a pair of South Sea pearl earrings?

Compare both pearls' size, shape, color, luster, surface and matching, then check the earring construction and stated metal. Judge luster in the context of South Sea pearls rather than treating an Akoya reflection standard as identical; the AKWAYA Pearl Grading Methodology explains the separate scales.
