We are an Australian based company with an extensive range of high quality South Sea pearls.
Supplying Single Pearls, Pairs of Pearls, Strands of Pearls and Pearls set with 18k gold.
Our expertise and years of experience in the South Sea Pearling industry combined with our easily understood pearl grading system has earned the trust of many loyal customers all over the world.
Under each pearl is a label which shows the grading for the pearl – the pearl’s shape, lustre, surface marks and size. Our grading system has both a grade for lustre and another for the marks (spots) on the surface of the pearl. This provides more information making it easier and quicker for our customers to select the pearls they require.
