Loved our visit to Arapawa , Antonia looked after us , her knowledge of the pearls was amazing. Both my purchases are beautiful, one of a kind, look forward to purchasing more pearls.
I’ve already gotten several compliments and I’ve only had them a few days! I was lucky enough to visit the farm in person to select my blue pearl earrings. The environment is as magical as the pearls. I appreciate the family’s dedication to their passion and improving the health of the natural abalone ecosystem is commendable.
Earrings are uniquely beautifully crafted and complimented with a rose gold setting. They look stunning for every day and also special occasion wear.
A visit to Arapawa Blue Pearls is a glimpse into the real New Zealand -
Pure, beautiful, sustainable abalone/paua farming. Absolutely worth our time! Antonia, Mike & their family provided an engaging & informative tour of their bucolic seaside sustainable farm and the creation of their unique pearls and jewelry. My necklace is a beautiful reminder of my extraordinary experience at Arapawa Blue Pearls.
I purchased these earrings to accompany the necklace and ring I purchased. Such fabulous jewelry I was so excited for this tour and was not disappointed. Great hospitality from all the family and exceptional jewelry. Thanks
Such an unusual piece I bought this to go with the necklace I also purchased. I can’t wait to go home to show them off. Thank you for your hospitality. Had aWonderful time
Stunning!!! Thanks for such a great adventure. So many memories
Our entire experience with you was wonderful i’d love to return. The jewelry is one of a kind and beautiful
I so enjoyed my visit there and learned so much. What an adventurous life! Blessings for the future.
Great tour of family owned company. They explained the process then took us thru their buildings.Wife purchased beautiful earrings.
We loved our time here. The family was informative and answered our questions. The store was awesome and we came home with jewelry and pearls. We highly recommend a visit here! Well done!!!
We were lucky enough to meet Antonia and Mike in person at their beautiful home and farm in New Zealand.
While there, we found a beautiful pearl and once back home, Antonia sent us 2 similar choices and she also had a chain specially made as we had requested.
She then had it shipped and it arrived the very next day. Perfect service for a beautiful pearl, and you can find the same on their web site.
The necklace is beautiful. It was particularly special to see and hear about the process with which these pearls are made. Such a wonderful story!
I love this piece - both because it's really stunning and seems to catch the light in so many different ways and also because it's a lovely memory of a wonderful day learning about what Antonia and Mike have built with their family!
Very enlightening, the pearl means more now that I know the snail grew it for four years. You are very dedicated farmers, and your jewelry is superb. The pearl is a cherished memory of our trip
I purchased this necklace recently and just love it. Stunning colour in a simple contemporary design that makes it easy to wear and goes with anything. This will be a go to piece for me to wear from now on. Also, thanks for having the option of a rose gold setting, not commonly found but works so well with the pearl.
I had the privilege of being able to tour Mike and Antonia's home and see the process of making one of these unique blue pearls. Amazing and we enjoyed every minute. They begin by serving you coffee/tea with scrumptious home made baking (all so tasty!) next we were shown a video presentation and they answered any questions we had. We then toured the facility where we got to see the day by day process and 8 years later, Walah! You have a blue pearl made into a beautiful jewelry piece. It was such a memorable tour and Mike and Antonia are so personable (and their son too) I love my pearl and have fond memories attached every time I wear it. Thank-you Mike and Antonia for sharing your beautiful home and giving me the chance to own one of these stunning pieces! Love, love it. 😍
I ordered these in a B2 regular green blue in 11mm. They are just stunning and shine! They hang down enough to really stand out and they complement the blue green of my pendant. I'm glad I went for the 11mm. I like that the setting uses a good amount of gold. They also pick up the colours in the pink orient pendant I wear.
We were on a cruise ship and went to their Pearl Farm as part of our excursion. It was one of our best excursions! We got to see how their jewelry was made, and also got to view their property which is gorgeous from flower gardens,to eels in their creek, to a view of their whole property while being on the Pearl Tour. You can only get there by boat!! We were able to buy three beautiful pieces at the end of their tour in their lovely jewelry shop! What a wonderful and very friendly experience!!!!
My husband bought this beautiful Arapawa pearl necklace set in white gold for me during a trip to New Zealand from the UK. It was a wonderful surprise (along with the Athena ring which is also stunning & incredibly comfortable!) and was a highlight of our holiday!
The necklace is exceptionally well made, there’s been no holding back in the amount of gold used - it’s a really good weight & elegantly shaped.
It sits perfectly and I can wear it with lots of different outfits, making use of the adjustable chain length.
I love the way the pearl itself changes colour in different lights which really brings it to life (same with the ring).
I’ve received so many compliments from my friends and family and I enjoy reliving the story of our visit to Arapawa pearl farm.
Absolutely love my earrings..have had great comments about them..
