Gorgeous South Sea Pearl Necklaces

Our pearl necklaces are made for those who appreciate beauty shaped by nature. At Volle, we select South Sea pearls that tell the story of their organic formation through their shimmering surfaces.

Sourced from Australia, French Polynesia and the Philippines

Our South Sea pearls are sourced from the waters of Australia, French Polynesia and the Philippines. Each pearl forms naturally over time, emerging with an appearance all of its own. Different water temperatures and mineral levels in the sea guide the pearl’s transformation, allowing it to carry the story of its origins, in soft light and natural texture.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a genuine pearl necklace cost from Volle Jewellery?

The cost of a pearl necklace varies depending on the size and lustre of the pearls it uses, as well as the complexity of the design. Prices increase for rarer pearls. Our experts can guide you through the options so you can choose a fine pearl necklace that suits your style and budget.
How do I make sure the pearl necklace is genuine?

Every necklace at Volle is guaranteed to use genuine South Sea pearls. We source each gemstone from trusted and reputable sources, so you can feel confident in your choice. Volle also checks each pearl for lustre, size and colour to further validate its authenticity.
What’s a good size for a pearl necklace?

Pearl size determines the appearance and style of a necklace. South Sea pearls typically measure between 8 and 14 mm. A smaller size makes for an understated piece, while a larger gemstone is perfect for a statement choker pearl necklace.
What’s the difference between fake and genuine pearl necklaces?

A non-genuine pearl necklace is usually made from a coated material designed to mimic the look of a real gemstone. This will give the ‘pearl’ a very even shine; a real South Sea pearl, in contrast, will glow with depth and weight, and show tiny variations in its surface.
Are cultured pearls real pearls?

Absolutely, the cultured pearls found in certain pearl necklaces are genuine. They are formed through a process called pearl cultivation, where humans intentionally introduce an irritant into a mollusc to stimulate the formation of the gemstone. Cultured pearls have the same organic composition as natural pearls, with the only difference being the introduction of the irritant by human intervention.
How are pearls graded?

Pearls are graded based on several factors, including their size, shape, lustre, surface quality, and colour. While the grading criteria can vary depending on the type of pearl, the process offers a standardised assessment of a pearl’s quality that helps determine its market value.
How do I take care of my pearl necklace?

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your Australian pearl necklace, it is essential to handle and care for it properly. Avoid exposing your pearls to harsh chemicals, perfumes or lotions. Clean your pearl necklace gently with a soft cloth after each wearing to remove any oils or residue. Store it separately from other jewellery to prevent scratching, and avoid exposing it to excessive heat or prolonged sunlight.
