Our Pearl Farms

Where Australia's rarest pearls are grown

At Pearls of Australia, our saltwater pearls are carefully cultivated in two of Australia's most pristine environments: The rugged, remote coastlines of the Kimberley in Western Australia, and the winding waterways of the lower Hawkesbury River in New South Wales.

Both our pearl farms contribute to the beauty, quality and provenance of our pearls, combining pearling legacy with sustainable aquaculture, and now immersive experiences.

Sustainable Pearl Farming

At each of our pearl farms our approach to pearl cultivation honours the environment, local communities and the heritage of Australia's pearling history.

Pearl farming is a careful balance between science and art: Skilled technicians insert a tiny nucleus inside the pearl shell and care for the shell over years as it layers nacre, eventually forming a gem of lustrous beauty. The result is not only a sustainably cultured gemstone, but also an ongoing partnership between people and place - supporting our marine ecosystems and the people that work within them.
