Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm

Visit Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm at the tip of the beautiful Dampier Peninsula, one of the last pristine and remote marine wilderness frontiers in the world. Discover our unique collection of pearl jewellery, pairing our locally grown South Sea pearls with elegantly crafted jewellery designs.

Located on the remote Kimberley coast of Western Australia, Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm cultivates some of the world's most sought-after Australian South Sea pearls, from classic round and near-round shape pearls to beautiful baroques. Celebrated for their impressive size, natural colour, and stunning lustre, these pearls reflect the unique marine environment in which they are grown.

Beyond traditional South Sea pearls, Cygnet Bay also produces rare Australian South Sea Keshi pearls, prized for their organic shapes and exceptional lustre.

Our pearl farm also cultivates Mabe pearls, sometimes referred to as half or blister pearls, which develop against the inside of the pearl shell to create their characteristic dome shape.

No two pearls are truly alike. Each variation in size, shape, colour, and lustre tells its own story of origin, making each Cygnet Bay pearl naturally unique.

Australian South Sea pearls are cultured by inserting a small piece of mantle tissue from a donor oyster into the mantle tissue of a host oyster. The host oyster is then placed in a farm or lagoon, where it is carefully tended until the pearl has grown to maturity, which can take up to two years. The resulting pearl is then harvested and sorted based on its size, shape, color, and quality. The process of culturing South Sea pearls is more complex and time-consuming than other types of pearls, which contributes to their higher value.

Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm has been run by the Brown family for generations in one of the most remote stretches of the Kimberley coastline, where powerful tides and pristine waterways create ideal growing conditions for Pinctada maxima pearl shell. This biodiverse environment, combined with farming expertise, produces Australian South Sea pearls with a disctint lustre, size and quality that's unique to the region.

Cygnet Bay is Australia's oldest pearling business still owned and run by the same family - the Brown family, since 1946. That long history means every Australian South Sea pearl reflects decades of refined technique and understanding of the cultivation process and the ability to work hand-in-hand with our planet.

From timeless everyday essentials to statement jewellery designed to be treasured for generations, our Cygnet Bay pearls are transformed into a collection of Australian South Sea pearl jewellery.
