The Kimberley town of Broome became the home of Australia’s oyster fishing industry in the 19th century. Today it is renowned for ‘cultured’ South Sea pearls, the most sought-after in the world. Oysters create natural pearls by depositing layers of nacre over a grain of sand or other ‘intruder’ that settles inside their shell. Cultured pearls develop around a bead implanted by human hand. A traditional bridal gift, pearl is also the modern birthstone of people born in June.
