The blue pearl captures your eye and draws you closer... Movement makes the colours shimmer and dance like sunlight on crystal clear water.

The Blue Pearl Story



The Vision

Roger Beattie

The story behind the creation of one of nature’s most stunning gems is as remarkable as each individual blue pearl itself.

It’s a story of dedication and commitment through years of research and development to create a gem that is truly distinctive, truly one of a kind.

It’s a story of the vision of New Zealander Roger Beattie who, in 1989, established the first ocean based blue pearl farm at Whangamoe Inlet on New Zealand’s Chatham Islands.

His understanding of the pearl fishery and an empathy not only for the environment but also the very rhythms of nature’s life cycles, led Roger and his team to embark on a project which would see the creation of a new gem, unparalleled in its beauty and colour.
