Our Jewellery

Pearls love to be worn! Your natural oils on your skin helps maintain their stunning lustre, so wearing your pearl jewellery regularly is encouraged. Whether it's an Akoya pearl jewellery piece, a simple South Sea pearl pendant, or your favourite Keshi pearl ring, wearing these precious gems while caring for them properly will keep each pearl looking beatuiful.

Our pearl jewellery is made with high quality materials, made to be durable and long lasting.

After wearing, give your pearl jewellery a soft wipe and store out of its original jewellery box, away from other jewellery.

Authentic pearls carry subtle characteristics, also known as virtues, that you can see and feel. Look for surface variations, deep lustre, weight, and cool temperature.

Certified pearl jewellery from Pearls of Australia is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity detailing its origin, species and grading. Our certificates state the provenance of our pearls, including their very own pearl farms that they are cultivated here in Australia. If you're unsure, compare your piece to a known genuine item or seek a reputable pearl valuer who can verify authenticity with professional grading standards.

You'll find exceptional, traceable pearls through trusted growers and jewellers who prioritise quality and transparency.

At Pearls of Australia, each pearl necklace, pearl strand, pearl ring and handcrafted design is made with pearls grown at our Cygnet Bay and Broken Bay pearl farms. By purchasing direct from the source, you gain access to sustainably farmed South Sea and Akoya pearls with clear provenance and a commitment to responsible marine stewardship.

Pearls are an organic gemstone, and with the right care, they can retain their innate lustre and elegance for generations. Unlike harder gemstones like diamonds and sapphires, pearls require careful handling and thoughtful maintenance to protect their nacre.

We recommend starting with everyday habits:

• Avoid exposing your pearls to harsh chemicals, perfumes or cosmetics. These substances can dull shine and damage the pearl overtime.
• After wearing, gently wipe your pearl jewellery with a soft, clean cloth to remove natural oils and build-up from your skin. This helps preserve the natural glow that makes pearls so treasured.
• When storing pieces, keep them separate from jewellery outside of their original gift box. Soft pouches or lined jewellery boxes are ideal. For longer-term storage, avoid airtight containers.

With mindful care, your pearls become more than an accessory, they become heirlooms with stories to tell.

Selecting pearl jewellery is a personal journey. Whether you're investing in a timeless classic or a contemporary statement piece, understanding your preferences makes the process enjoyable.

Begin with shape and size. Classic round pearls bring refined elegance, while baroque or keshi pearls add a more modern flair.

Next, consider colour and lustre. From the variety of hues of Akoya to the neutral tones of South Sea pearls, each variety expresses a different aesthetic. To explore these differences further, visit our pearl guide.

Think about the piece itself. A simple pendant might become your everyday signature, while a pair of drop earrings or a statement pearl strand necklace might define special moments. Balance your personal style with the design, subtle elegance for work or minimalist wardrobes, or expressive looks for special events.

Finally, consider timelessness versus trends. If you're seeking a piece to wear for decades, explore options from our Eternal collection, designed with enduring style in mind.

Choosing pearl jewellery should feel inspired, not overwhelming. With these thoughts as your guide, you'll find pearl pieces that reflect you and the occasions you cherish.
