Gouden losse Zuidzeeparels

Loose golden Zuidzeeparels are the working stock voor custom jewelers — single parels for solitaire pendants, gematcht pairs for statement oorbellen, small lots for limited-edition strand opdrachten. These parels come from the goud-lipped variant of Pinctada maxima, harvested predominantly in the Filipijnen and Indonesië. Sizes in current stock run 9mm to 17mm in 1mm increments, with the 11–13 mm band being most-requested. We grade on the standard AAA-AA-A-schaal: AAA is spiegelglans, surface 95% clean, near-round to round shape; AA is high glans, surface 85% clean, near-round acceptable. kleur depth ranges from pale champagne (entry-tier, AA grade common) through deep 24K geelgoud (AAA, premium). Geboord of ongeboord — geboord parels geboord 0.8mm standaard; wij kunnen custom-boren to 1.0mm or 1.2mm voor dikker zijde or beading wire. Each parel wordt geleverd met oorsprongscertificaat (Filipijnen or Indonesië) and graderingsbon.

Veelgestelde vragen

Hoe do loose golden Zuidzeeparels cost?

Pricing varies by maat, grade, and color depth. Light champagne 9–10 mm AA: ~$120-220 per parel. Mid-range 11–12 mm AAA goud tone: ~$400-800. Deep 24K goud 13mm+ AAA: ~$1,200-3,500 per parel. Gematcht pairs add 15–30% meerprijs.

Zijn Zuidzeeparels naturally golden?

Yes. The goud pigment is deposited by the goud-lipped Pinctada maxima oyster as nacre forms, layer by layer. There is no treatment or dye involved in our parels. Buyers should be cautious of "golden" parels priced significantly below market — those are typically dyed white South Sea or freshwater.

Kan ik order a gematcht pair of golden South Sea loose parels?

Yes — specify "gematcht pair" at checkout and we hand-pick two parels within 0.25mm of maat, identical ondertonen (champagne/light goud/deep goud/24K), and gematcht shape (both round or both near-round). Useful voor custom oorbellen or twin-parel pendants.

What shapes are beschikbaar in golden South Sea loose?

Most stock is round or near-round (the highest-value shapes). We also offer baroque, drop, and button shapes at lagere prijspunten — these are valued by designers for organic-shape juwelen. The product listing notes shape per parel.

Are larger golden Zuidzeeparels beschikbaar (15mm+)?

Ja, in limited quantities. Sizes 15mm, 16mm, and occasionally 17mm+ command premium pricing and may require levertijd. Contact us directly for gematcht larger pieces or strand-kwaliteit lots.
