About this tour
Open a live South Sea Pearl oyster at Willie Creek's Perth showroom and keep whatever gem you find inside. This one-hour private experience pairs the theatrical moment of cracking open a Pinctada maxima shell—sourced from the award-winning farm in Broome—with sparkling Margaret River wine and pearl meat canapés. Your pearl, valued between $500 and $3,000 AUD, becomes yours outright, or converts to a showroom credit if it falls outside that range. You'll receive personalised guidance through the flagship jewellery collection afterwards.

What to expect
Arrive at the Perth showroom where staff will walk you through how pearls form and the rarity of gem-quality yields. You'll then open your own oyster under guidance—the moment the shell cracks reveals your pearl's size and lustre for the first time. A qualified appraiser values it on the spot. Afterwards, browse the showroom with your guide, who can discuss setting options if you wish to mount your pearl into jewellery (additional cost). The whole affair takes roughly an hour and feels more like a private event than a standard tour.
