South Sea Pearl Pendants
Frequently asked questions
What size pendant pearl should I order?
9-10mm pendants are refined for daily wear, sitting subtly at the collarbone. 11-13mm is the most-requested statement size. 14mm+ pendants are dramatic, suited for evening or special occasions.
Are golden South Sea pearl pendants more expensive?
Yes, typically 30-50% premium over white at the same size and grade. Gold pigment is rarer (only the gold-lipped Pinctada maxima variant produces it).
Can I customize the chain length?
Yes. We offer 16, 18, 20, 22, and 24-inch chains at standard pricing. Custom lengths up to 36 inches available with 1-2 week lead time.
What is a halo pendant setting?
A halo setting surrounds the central pearl with a ring of small diamonds or gemstones, amplifying the pearl visually and adding sparkle. Halo settings typically add $200-800 to the pendant price depending on stone count and quality.
