Paspaley Pearls is an Australian company that is known for producing some of the world's finest pearls. The company was founded in the 1930s by Nicholas Paspaley, a Greek immigrant who settled in Australia and began diving for pearls in the waters off the country's northern coast.

In the early days of the company, Paspaley focused on wild pearl diving, which involved sending divers into the ocean to search for oysters that contained pearls. The process was risky and often dangerous, but it produced some of the most valuable and sought-after pearls in the world.

In the 1950s, Paspaley Pearls began to shift its focus to pearl farming, a process that involves cultivating pearls in oysters in controlled environments. This allowed the company to produce pearls more consistently and with greater efficiency, while also minimizing the risks associated with wild pearl diving.
