Australian South Sea Pearls

South Sea pearls are large, high-quality pearls that are grown in the warm, tropical waters of the South Pacific, primarily in Australia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. They are known for their size, lustre, and unique colours, which range from white and cream to golden and even deep shades of black.

Our Australian South Sea pearls are carefully cultivated just north of Broome, at our Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm in Western Australia.

South Sea pearls are prized for their large size and unique colours, as well as their high luster and smooth surface. They are also known for their rarity, as they are more difficult to cultivate than other types of pearls.

South Sea pearls are typically larger than other types of pearls, with an average size of 10-15mm, although some can grow as large as 20mm.

In 2004 Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm harvested the world's largest fine quality round pearl - which is now on display at our Broome Showroom!

South Sea pearls come in a variety of colours, including white, cream, champagne, gold, and black. The most common colours are white and cream, but the rarest and most valuable South Sea pearls are those with a pink overtone.

Our Australian South Sea pearls are typically white or cream in colour. Learn more about our pearls and how to choose your pearl here.
