Chimere’s Pearls are grown in the crystal blue waters of the Abrolhos Islands, Western Australia. A lucky discovery in 1992 created an industry and the formation of the company Abrolhos Pearls (WA) Pty Ltd. After vast amounts of preliminary research on the wild shell stocks collected from the reefs and lagoons, the company commissioned the first culturing experiments in 1998.
Once year later the team was happily rewarded with a small pearl harvest, which ultimately proved that a pearl culturing industry at the Abrolhos Islands was indeed possible. The first of several commercial harvests of cultured pearls was released in September 2000.
The name “Chimere” was chosen for its meaning. “Chi” is the body and soul “Mere” is French for water. Together the body and soul of the water is the pearl. “Chimera” is also found in the Thesaurus to mean rainbow colours, which is very fitting for our beautiful colours in our pearls.
