How Are Cultured Pearls Formed?

Most pearls today are **cultured pearls South Africa**. A skilled artisan carefully implants a small bead inside an oyster, prompting it to layer nacre around the bead over months — or even years. This natural process creates the luminous, iridescent pearl we treasure.

Some pearls still form naturally, without human touch, but they are incredibly rare and highly valuable. At Jewellery Connection, we celebrate the artistry of both nature and the skilled cultivators.

What to Look for When Investing in Pearls

Lustre

The mirror-like glow that defines a pearl’s beauty and depth. High lustre equals high value.

Surface

Fewer blemishes, spots, or marks on the surface mean higher quality and a smoother feel.

Color

Choose from classic white, delicate pink, or rich golden tones based on your skin tone and style.

Size

Larger pearls hold greater inherent value, but ultimately, the best size is a matter of personal taste.

Shape

From classic, perfectly round to unique baroque shapes, every pearl tells a different story.
