Two-Tone Paua Pearl WishBone Brooch
A two-tone pāua pearl brooch featuring a rare Arapawa blue pearl grown on Arapaoa Island in New Zealand's Marlborough Sounds. The WishBone design references good luck and fortune, while allowing the natural iridescence of one of the world's most uncommon pearls to take centre stage.
Each pāua pearl is grown over eight years in our land-based tanks, fed by pristine ocean water surrounding the island. Over time, layers of nacre form depth, lustre, and the distinctive blues, greens, and subtle rainbow overtones unique to pāua pearl jewellery. No two pearls are ever the same, and these pearls cannot be cultivated anywhere else in the world.
The refined 9ct gold and sterling silver setting with cubic zirconia accents is intentionally understated, designed to highlight the pearl's natural beauty without distraction. This brooch reflects a considered approach to pearl jewellery, one that values patience, precision, and longevity.
As New Zealand's only land-based pāua pearl farm, we grow our pearls using ethical, zero-waste practices that support marine conservation. Baby pāua are returned to the wild, and every pearl is cultivated without impacting ocean ecosystems. Each brooch is finished with care and comes with a certificate of authenticity detailing your pearl. About This Brooch:
