Eastern Pearl at the IJF Sydney2026

Three decades of Australian South Sea pearls, and a stand that hasn't stopped since the doors opened. Here's what we brought to Sydney this year.


The doors opened on an unsuaully warm Saturday and the stand has barely had a quiet moment since. If you made it over to see us — thank you. If you didn't, here's what you missed.

What we brought

This year's stand is built around the Australian South Sea strands, and they are the best run we've had in some seasons. Full grades from AAA down, from [SIZE RANGE], with the matched drop and baroque strands that always seem to leave first.

Alongside them: Tahitian rounds and drops in the full colour range, Akoya, Freshwater across white, pink and black, and the Mabe and Keshi that tend to get overlooked until someone sees them under the lights.

We've also brought the loose pearls in depth — singles and matched pairs, half-drilled, across every type on the stand. If you're setting your own work, this is the part of the range worth ten minutes of your time.

And the findings and clasps, which nobody photographs and everybody needs. Gold and silver, the full run.

Thirty-two years of it

Eastern Pearl has been supplying Australian jewellers since 1994. That's long enough to have watched the market move through several complete cycles, and long enough to know that the retailers who do well are the ones who buy pearls they can actually sell — not the ones chasing the highest grade in the room.

We buy accordingly, and we price accordingly.

New this year: the website

The other thing we've been quietly working on is a Upgraded trade website. Every strand, every loose pearl, every size and grade — priced, searchable, and available to order any time of the year rather than only when we're both at a show.

Trade accounts see the full range and can place order requests directly. Everything comes through to us as a request rather than a fixed order, so we can confirm availability and terms with you personally, the way we always have.

If you'd like an account set up, email us.

Come and see us

We're at stand D41 until Monday 24th August. Bring your loupe.
