OUR PEARLS. OUR PRODUCERS.
South Sea pearls come from the Pinctada maxima oyster, nature’s only living gem.
Clean waters are its lifeline, so protecting the ocean is ours. We invest deeply in research and care to preserve balance, biodiversity, and beauty.
Sustainability is not an afterthought, it's our foundation.
Our pearl farms, certified sustainable, stretch across some of the world’s most breathtaking coastlines — from Lombok, Sumbawa and West Java, to Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Together, these farms harvest more than 350,000 South Sea pearls each year, cultivating beauty while respecting nature’s balance.
Harvested by hand, each pearl is carefully selected at the source.
After harvest at our Sydney headquarters, natural light floods spacious viewing rooms, where skilled experts examine every gem with precision. Each pearl is graded by the AUTORE Five S’s™ — Shine, Surface, Shade, Shape, Size — ensuring that only the best selection enter our collections.
AUTORE MODA represents more than modern luxury.
It is heritage reimagined, where every pearl carries a story of provenance, sustainability, and timeless allure. From the depths of the ocean to your daily wardrobe.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COASTLINES IN THE WORLD
These waters are rich, remote, and perfectly suited to cultivating pearls of exceptional size and beauty.
AUSTRALIAN FARMS
Our Australian farms, Clipper Pearls, are home to some of the world’s largest and most lustrous South Sea pearls.
Set in the pristine waters of Western Australia and the Northern Territory, these farms are renowned for producing pearls of exceptional beauty and quality.
They are also Certified Sustainable by the PPA (Pearl Producers Association), reflecting our commitment to protecting the oceans that nurture every pearl.
INDONESIAN FARMS
Across the islands of Indonesia, PT AUTORE Pearl Culture nurtures South Sea pearls in eight pristine farming sites.
As a pioneer in research and development, PT AUTORE blends tradition with innovation to advance sustainable pearling practices.
Proudly Certified Sustainable by Ecocrest Gold, every pearl reflects a deep respect for the ocean and the communities it supports.
CONCIOUS FARMING
The Autore Group is MSC Certified Sustainable and is a member of The Pearl Producers Association (PPA). Within Australia, there is a quota system whereby a quota is allocated to each farming entity to ensure the sustainable fishing of wild Pinctada maxima oyster, conscious to guarantee an abundance of shell remaining in the wild.
HATCHERY FOCUSED
The Autore Group has a strong focus on Hatchery grown Pinctada maxima shell to minimise the necessity to fully use our quota for wild fishing. The additional benefit of hatchery produced oysters is that it further promotes an increase of quantities in the wild, due to subsequent spawning which will be a natural result of the added shell in the ocean.
MARINE PROTECTION
The Autore Group Farms are located in remote and beautiful locations where pristine and abundant waters are our biggest asset. The oceans where the farms are located restrict commercial fishing, providing protection of the marine life and prevention of overfishing. The farming Infrastructure we use in the ocean furthermore provides substrates for marine life to grow and thrive, and attracts fish and sea organisms including marine flora, such as seaweed, and marine fauna including invertebrate and vertebrate species.
REEF REGENERATION
Prior to The Autore Farms residing in these pristine waters, the areas of some of our farms were exposed to and destroyed by illegal fish bombing practices (dynamite fishing). Since moving to these areas, we have continuously invested and put our resources towards rebuilding the reefs which have been destroyed, propagating corals, and other organisms, which in turn increases fish and sea life.
REGIONAL EMPLOYMENT
The Autore Group provides employment in regional areas where employment isn’t readily available, and providing additional employment opportunities for the indigenous communities.
EDUCATION
In 2014, AUTORE commenced a collaboration with JARI at the pearl farm in Lombok, Indonesia to raise awareness in the community about the importance of the environmental preservation. The program, which continues to persevere today, aims to increase the level of knowledge and understanding of pearl farming and marine conservation among local primary school students. The initiative strives to communicate the importance of sustaining the marine environment for future generations while providing jobs, education and health care support to the local communities.
COMPANY PRACTICES
The importance of employee respect and treatment is one of the company’s proudest attributes. AUTORE continually maintains high standards of employee health and safety throughout all platforms of the operations. AUTORE proudly acknowledges the importance of maintaining a social, ethical and environmental responsibility across all practices within the company.
