Our design process focuses on showcasing pearls—the only sustainable gem created by a living organism—making them an inherently eco-friendly choice. Each piece is thoughtfully crafted to showcase the pearl's beauty while ensuring durability and timeless elegance. Through the recycling and refining of by-products our jewellers reduce the amount of wastage in the production of our locally assembled and manufactured items. Our jewellery reflects a commitment to sustainability while offering long-lasting, heritage-quality items that can be treasured for generations.

Our café prioritises sustainability at every step, from sourcing local ingredients to reducing waste through mindful practices. We proudly serve pearl meat harvested from our oysters, celebrating a unique connection to our farm. By sourcing ingredients from local suppliers, we minimise transport emissions while supporting the regional economy. On-site, we grow some of our own vegetables, ensuring the freshest produce for our dishes and further reducing our environmental footprint. Composting waste and using recyclable tableware enhance our eco-friendly efforts, while innovative solutions like bulk carbonated water systems help us cut down on unnecessary packaging. Through our participation in the Containers for Change program, we ensure beverage containers are recycled responsibly, contributing to a circular economy. Altogether, these efforts reflect our dedication to a dining experience that’s as eco-conscious as it is enjoyable.

In 2025, we are strengthening our eco-efforts with a renewed emphasis on conservation and biodiversity, recognising their critical role in maintaining healthy ecosystems and protecting resources for future generations. It's important to us to support the preservation of the unique ecosystems essential to the local pearling industry and the natural heritage of our region. One such vital ecosystem is the seagrass meadows, which provide crucial habitat and food for marine species like dugongs and turtles. As part of our commitment, we are proud to have contributed to a local conservation project, the Seagrass Monitoring Project, supporting efforts to monitor and protect these habitats to ensure they thrive for generations to come.

We are excited to collaborate with organisations who share these ideals in the years ahead. Sustainability drives every aspect of our operations, from our desalination system that provides fresh water to responsible greywater management protecting the local environment. While we currently rely on diesel power, we are planning facility upgrades to transition to solar energy. Our waste management includes composting, recycling, and proper disposal, alongside replanting native trees and offsetting emissions through carbon programs.

We are proud to hold Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification, a globally recognised standard for sustainable seafood practices. This certification ensures that our operations meet rigorous standards for environmental responsibility, protecting marine ecosystems and supporting sustainable fisheries. By upholding these values, we actively contribute to ocean health while offering responsibly sourced, high-quality products.

Our pearling practices benefit from the natural role of oysters as filter feeders, which help keep the surrounding waters clean and balanced. Working within sustainable limits set by the Fisheries Department, we carefully manage wild oyster stock to protect the marine ecosystem. This approach ensures that our pearling operations support the environment, allowing both oysters and the waters they inhabit to thrive together.

By repurposing waste materials, we reduce landfill contributions and breathe new life into discarded items, crafting unique art pieces that celebrate environmental awareness and creativity. This innovative approach transforms waste into a resource, showcasing sustainability in unexpected and beautiful ways. We also prioritise reducing emissions and environmental impact by transporting staff to the farm in a shared vehicle, minimising traffic and protecting the pristine natural surroundings of the Kimberley.

Pearl farming not only produces exquisite gems but also generates mother-of-pearl as a valuable by-product, unlocking revolutionary opportunities in marine biomedical technology. The unique properties of mother-of-pearl, such as its strength, biocompatibility, and regenerative potential, make it an ideal material for use in cutting-edge medical advancements. Its biocompatibility and strength make it an ideal material for biomedical uses, transforming what was once a waste product into something with life-changing potential. This innovation highlights how pearl farming can intersect with science to create solutions that benefit both people and the environment.
