The highly coveted South Sea pearls, which embody the purity, grace and warmth associated with motherhood, are front and centre in the latest collections of renowned pearl jewellery brands. 

This year's Mother's Day, which falls on May 11, is around the corner and jewellers are offering the most ideal gift: A diverse selection of South Sea pearl jewellery to suit every mother's individual personality and style.

From Australian South Sea pearl specialist Paspaley is a stunning choker strand adorned with 12mm to 13mm round Australian South Sea pearls along with an interchangeable clam shell diamond clasp that pays homage to the timeless allure of pearls.

According to Paspaley, the clasp, made of iridescent mother-of-pearl and pavé diamonds, symbolises a lasting mother-and-child bond akin to the nurturing relationship between mother-of-pearl and the pearl inside the oyster shell.

Meanwhile, Autore’s Papillion brooch features three Keshi South Sea pearls and diamond-studded butterfly wings. This versatile piece can also be worn as a necklace, offering elegance to those who appreciate both versatility and sophistication.
