Japan's diverse pearl culture extends beyond the well-known Akoya variety. Nurtured in the pristine waters of Amami Oshima using advanced techniques, these pearls—whether the smaller golden pearls similar in size to Akoya or the larger golden pearls akin to Golden South Sea Pearls—boast a thicker nacre layer and greater density than their counterparts. This results in a more enduring golden lustre, with unique overtones such as rare iridescent lime green and bronze highlights.? ?Product Description? ? Genuine Golden Gem from Japan’s Amami ?shima Islands, ? Deep, Molten Gold Hue – Nature’s Rarest Luxury, ? Radiant Petite Apple Stem Design in 18K Gold Elegance! This pendant showcases a genuine golden pearl from Japan’s Amami ?shima Islands, measuring approximately 10-10.5mm. It presents a refined, plump silhouette with approximately 96% roundness, visually mirroring the shape of a small apple so closely that its likeness brings a sense of joy and warmth when worn. Its surface is virtually flawless, with no growth lines, dimples, or bumps across the exposed areas outside the setting. This level of cleanliness and symmetry defines what we consider true top-tier golden pearl quality. The colour is a naturally soft, deep golden hue, untainted by any dyeing or artificial treatments, preserving the pearl’s authentic beauty with a richness rated around 8/10. Under different lighting conditions, it reveals a warm, noble glow reminiscent of molten gold—luxurious yet calm. Subtle hints of lime green and gentle bronze undertones meld seamlessly within the golden body colour, creating a refined and captivating visual depth. The lime-green undertone, a hallmark of Amami ?shima golden pearls, beautifully echoes the apple-inspired design, transforming this pendant into a naturally sculpted, jewel-like piece brimming with joyful freshness and “juice-like” vibrancy. The lustre is exceptionally high, with an impeccably smooth, flawless surface that displays a radiant, satin-like sheen rather than harsh reflectivity. This gentle glow enhances the pearl’s golden body colour, allowing it to emit a layered luminescence that feels warm, dignified, and refined. The nacre thickness of Amami ?shima pearls contributes to their enduring glow and subtle colour stability, ensuring that the pendant maintains its elegant beauty over time. Overall, this pearl’s warm golden glow, paired with its playful apple-stem 18K gold design, creates a fresh yet timeless aesthetic that adds a juicy pop of natural luxury to any outfit.

Their formation process, taking place in nature, cannot be controlled by human intervention, meaning that the surface of pearls may exhibit some natural imperfections (growth lines, marks, small pits). This is a completely normal occurrence. Please understand that the level of these natural flaws directly impacts the price of the pearl – my pursuit is always the highest quality within each price range. Each piece of pearl jewellery at StarlitPearls has been carefully selected with the utmost attention to detail. While I strive to capture the natural imperfections of the pearls in photos, sometimes the lustrous glow may conceal certain blemishes, making them less visible in pictures. I always aim to provide a clear and accurate description of the quality and characteristics in each product listing. However, please understand that quality is often reflected in the price, and achieving a flawless appearance may require a higher budget – my pursuit is always the highest quality within each price range. Thank you for your understanding and acceptance of the unique, albeit imperfect, characteristics of natural pearls, and I invite you to treasure this unique beauty. 2) StarlitPearlsUK offers a 14-day return policy for all products, no questions asked.

Gentle Care: Pearls are delicate gems that require careful handling. Avoid contact with chemicals, including hairspray, perfume, and cosmetics, as they can damage the pearl's surface. It's also recommended to remove your pearls when sleeping, bathing, or washing your face to prevent potential damage. ? Cleaning: Clean your pearl jewellery with a soft, damp cloth after each wear. This helps to remove any body oils or residue that may have accumulated. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners, as they can scratch the pearl's surface. ? Storage: Always store pearls separately from other jewellery to prevent scratches. A soft pouch or a separate compartment in your jewellery box is ideal. ? Last on, First off: Make pearls the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. This helps to limit their exposure to damaging elements and substances. Remember, with proper care, your pearls can last a lifetime and even be passed down as a treasured heirloom. Treat them kindly and they will continue to bring you joy for many years to come.
