Cygnet Bay Pearls is excited to engage the Australian Jewellery Industry in the current Australian Pearling story and to showcase the wide and varied stunning pieces of jewellery that can be created featuring Australian pearls.

We are hoping to invigorate the way pearls are perceived and invite jewellers to amaze.
