Fiona Hackett
Purveyor of Fine Pearls
I have enjoyed a unique and amazing career dealing with fine pearls and jewellery, for more than 25 years, spanning all facets of the south sea pearling industry – taking me from the pearl fleets working the remote and pristine Kimberley region of Western Australia to auction rooms and jewellery houses in New York, London, Hong Kong and Tokyo.
My knowledge and expertise of pearls has incorporated grading, matching, pairing and negotiating with an international market. With more than two decades of experience, I am internationally recognised as a credible expert in pearling.
After a long corporate career with the major stakeholders in the industry, including Paspaley and Kailis, I am continuing to indulge my passion for pearls on a more personal level.
I am passionate about providing an unrivalled, personal, bespoke pearl service, ensuring that the perfect pearl and jewellery piece is found to match your skin-tone, budget, lifestyle and personality.

Quotes
Pearls of Wisdom
A Pearl! A perfect world enclosed in her sphere…. Iridising with light more lunar than solar.
"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous. I know the decision to bring pearl earrings into my life is quite classy, but how I make them my own, well, that will be fabulous."
"Pearls of wisdom. "A pearl among women". "A pearl of great worth". These traditional accolades belong to pearls, the only gem perfect in itself, its natural beauty unaided by cutting, faceting or polishing.
For centuries, precious pearls and strands of pearls have epitomised elegance and refinement. Pearls have been coverted and sought after by stylish women of every era... from Cleopatra to Queen Victoria, from Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel to Riahanna.
