Welcome to Our Family-Owned
Pearl Farm in Marlborough Sounds
- Mike and I met as urchin divers in Northern California, sharing a deep connection to the ocean that inspired our dream of creating an abalone farm in New Zealand.
- Starting with just two tanks, we used Kiwi ingenuity to develop a unique bucket system that transformed the health and survival of our pāua.
- Our farm is more than a business; it’s a way of life where each pearl embodies the stunning beauty of New Zealand. We are the only pearl farm of its kind in the country.
Sustainably Grown,
Eco-Friendly Blue Pearls
- Our commitment to sustainability is the foundation of everything we do. We reduce waste by using every part of the shell, and we release baby pāua into the sea to replenish areas where they have been depleted.
- Our rare blue pearls are among the most unique in the world, nurtured with care and respect for the environment, taking years to grow for durability and lustre.
- We create unique pearls by placing a shape inside the pāua shell, allowing it to be covered by the rich colours and textures of the shell as it grows.
