How can you tell if this is a South Sea pearl instead of Freshwater pearl?
- Size: Freshwater pearls rarely exceed 8.5mm with perfect roundness; 9mm white rounds are far more typical of South Sea pearls—especially those farmed in Australia or Indonesia.
- Color: That “very white” hue with a subtle satin glow is a classic hallmark of South Sea pearls, whereas freshwater whites often lean slightly ivory or pink-toned.
- Solitaire Design: The pearl sits as a solo focal point atop 18K white gold—this setting style is common when the pearl itself holds premium value.
Quick Visual Rule of Thumb:
| Feature | Freshwater Pearl | South Sea Pearl |
|---|---|---|
| Size Range | 5mm–8.5mm (rarely 9mm+) | 9mm–16mm typical |
| Shape & Surface | Roundish, some surface ripple | Round to near-round, clean skin |
| Luster & Colour | Softer glow, warm tone | Silky sheen, bright white |

Caring for Your Fine Gold Piece
14k and 18k gold is a precious metal investment. With proper care it holds its colour and quality indefinitely — fine gold does not tarnish, but it can scratch and dull without attention.
| Daily wear | Remove during heavy physical activity, cleaning, and gardening |
| Cleaning | Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, soft brush — rinse and dry with a lint-free cloth |
| Storage | Store separately — gold scratches easily when touching other metals |
| Professional care | Annual professional polish recommended for fine pieces |
| Avoid | Chlorine, bleach, harsh chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners for pieces with stones |
