Australia is one of the world's leading pearl-producing nations — Broome, Western Australia is the centre of the Australian South Sea pearl industry, producing the largest and most valuable pearl variety globally. Australian pearl jewellery spans freshwater pearls (farmed in China), Akoya pearls (Japanese) and Australian South Sea pearls (farmed in Northern Australia and WA). We cross-referenced Australian pearl industry data, Amazon Australia and Australian jewellery retailers to identify the top pearl jewellery picks for 2026. Buying Australian pearls directly from Australian retailers supports the local industry and ensures authenticity documentation. Paspaley, Willie Creek and Autore are the leading Australian pearl houses. Freshwater and Akoya pearls from Japan also feature prominently in the Australian market through retailers like Myer, Michael Hill and Amazon.com.au.
