South Sea pearls, as Australian pearls are known, are the most beautiful and lustrous pearls in the world. A perfect strand will cost a king's ransom, but you can own something lovely for far less. You can buy a single large, perfect pearl to wear on its own at a price that starts around A$1000 but there are many small pieces made from both seeded and natural (keshi) pearls that cost hundreds rather than thousands of dollars. Alternatively, you could buy a butter knife or little spoon carved from pearl shell. These make super presents and really unique souvenirs - you may even find one that has a tiny, nascent pearl forming under the shimmering mother of pearl. There are cards of real mother-of-pearl buttons for even less, so anyone can own a little piece of these most romantic treasure from the deep.
$10 - $100,000+++
