Chinese South Pearl (sea water pearl) are found in Beibu Gulf and southeastern coastal area in China. Historically, Pearls found in Hepu County of Guangxi Province are known as South Pearls and reputed as the best. In addition to South Pearl, there are two other kinds famous in the world: West Pearl from Europe and East Pearl from Japan. For the three major kinds of pearls, there is a popular saying that "East is better than West; South is better than both ".

Round pearls, which are found more in sea pearls than in freshwater pearls, are viewed as the best in shape and had a name of " Rolling Pearls " in ancient times.
