The South Sea Pearl is the direct-to-customer storefront of Gold Kraf Export SLU (Córdoba, Spain) — pearl farmers, graders and wholesalers with over 30 years in the cultured pearl trade.

From our farms to your hands

We grow and source South Sea pearls (Pinctada maxima) at farms in Australia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and work with French Polynesian producers for Tahitian pearls (Pinctada margaritifera). Because pieces go from the farm and grading table straight to this store, you see working-stock prices — not multi-step retail markups.

How we grade

Every pearl is assessed on the factors that actually set value — luster, surface, shape, nacre and matching — following CIBJO terminology for cultured pearls. Each piece ships with its certificate of authenticity and is photographed individually: the pearl you see is the pearl you receive.

What we publish

Our guides are written from the grading table, with live data from our own catalog — see the pearl value calculator, the South Sea price chart and the grading guide. If a fact about species, origin or treatment cannot be verified, we do not publish it.

Talk to a person
