The reason that South Sea pearls are the most valuable of the cultured pearl varieties is because of several distinct characteristics unique to this cultured pearl. The nacre is unusually thick, ranging from 2 - 6 mm, compared to the 0.35 - 0.7 mm of an akoya pearl. South Sea pearls have a distinct satiny luster which is due to the rapidly deposited nacre facilitated by the warmer waters.
