Golden Pearls

Do you know about Golden Pearls? They are the one of most luxurious range of pearls. They are produced by the Golden Lipped Mussel – a rare breed that is only found in north-west Australia Sea. They are extravagant and naturally golden coloured.

Not only are the Golden Lipped Oysters rare, not every one of them is guaranteed of producing pearls. It has a gestation period of between 2 to 4 years which is a lot longer than other type of pearls. However, the length of waiting time is well worth it! The pearls produced are larger than normal and with a beautiful silken sheen. The average size of a golden pearl is around 10 mm to 13 mm, whilst other pearls are normally 6-8 mm in diameter. This makes them much more expensive.

The rarity of these golden pearls ranks them way above many other types of pearls in cost. However, the average buyer can still enjoy wearing golden pearls without having to spend a fortune. Introducing shell pearls - they are made from mother of pearls with a golden coloured nacreous coating that make a fabulous alternative to the wild-grown ones. Pearl Island has golden shell pearl necklaces, bracelets and earrings that have all the lustre of golden lipped oyster pearls but at a price that is highly affordable.
