Group Live Pearl Harvest - Perth

Pinctada maxima , the largest pearl producing oyster in the world, is native
to the waters of North-Western Australia and part of the reason the region’s
pearl farms are capable of growing the most valuable pearls in the world.

During this 30-minute experience you will get up close and personal with a
real life Pinctada maxima oyster taken straight from Willie Creek Pearl Farm
in Broome. Discover how the anatomy of this fascinating creature combines with
the natural elements of the Kimberley landscape to create such a magical gem.

You will watch and hold your breath as the oyster is opened to reveal the
pearl that lies inside. Due to the quality being left in Mother Nature’s
hands, the value of the pearl revealed on the day could be valued is unknown
until that very moment! Seeing a beautiful pearl harvested from its oyster is
a breath-taking moment you will never forget.

Pearls have five key virtues. These virtues and how we use them to evaluate
pearls will be explained, and you can have a go at valuing some pearls
yourself!

Marvel at stunning pieces of pearl jewellery and see different types of pearls
from all over the world. This is a unique Western Australian experience not to
be missed.
