{"title":"13-14Mm White South Sea Necklaces","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"ssp-programmatic-page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ssp-founder-commentary\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 13-14mm white, these South Sea pearls represent a specific point in the Pinctada maxima harvest spectrum. The pieces in this collection are hand-graded against the AAA-AA-A scale: surface clean to 95%+ for AAA, 85%+ for AA, with mirror luster the defining marker of AAA. Strands and pendant necklaces in classic lengths (collar, choker, princess, matinee, opera, rope). Hand-knotted between pearls with silk thread — the traditional method that prevents wear and keeps pearls separate if a strand breaks. South Sea pearls are the largest commercially-cultured saltwater pearls (9-20mm). Golden South Sea command 30-50% premium over white at the same size. Sourcing: direct from oyster farms in Australia, Indonesia \u0026amp; Philippines. Each necklace ships with our certificate of authenticity and origin notation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ssp-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow thick is the nacre on South Sea pearls?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAAA South Sea pearls have nacre thickness of 2-6mm — by far the thickest of any cultured pearl (Tahitian 0.8-2.5mm, Akoya 0.4-0.8mm).
