RARE TREASURES FROM THE BLUE
The prized Australian South Sea pearl oyster thrives only in a miniscule area of the Indian Ocean, the only area in the world where the warm plankton-rich waters can produce the magnificent South Sea pearl.
Off the remote shores of Australia’s Kimberley Coast, Paspaley divers, as sleek as seals, weave their way down to the pearl beds where marine life sways with the rhythmic swell of this mystical pearl ocean.
South Sea pearl cultivation is as much an art as a science. The astonishing journey begins with an extraordinarily rare oyster plucked from the wild, one that we expertly cultivate with fine precision and nurture by hand for many years. Returned to the wonderland of the deep and left to thrive, the miracle of creation continues within the mysterious confines of the pearl shell. Tending to these mystifying creatures by hand, our pearlers act as guardians, painstakingly cleaning and cajoling each oyster for as long as nine years.
