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.
