Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm

Join us on the journey of Mother of Pearl through the ages and across cultures. Discover the First Nation’s 20,000-year-old connection to pearl shell, how it was valued for trade and ceremony, and the incredible role that indigenous people played in building the modern shelling and pearling industries. Follow the trade routes and evolution of the unique Aboriginal art of Riji and see the works of today’s master pearl shell carvers.
Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm is proud to still be providing shell to local artists who are still keeping this ancient artform alive.
