Basile Island Pendant with South Sea Pearl
Basile Island, a small gem within the Abrolhos Islands, is steeped in the rich history of Australian crayfishing. Today, it serves as the home base for Pia Boschetti, the founder of Latitude Jewellers, affectionately known as "the girl who grows the pearl." Pia resides here while tending to her pearl farm. Basile Island is vibrant with colourful camps and even has a church where islanders gather for special occasions. The cherished tradition of coffee at 3pm continues to this day. Tour flights frequently pass over the island, drawn by the picturesque collection of colourful camps, or shacks, as the locals call them.
Creating a pendant based on this Island was a must for our Island Bound Collection. This artistic pendant is perfectly complimented with a home-grown Pearl from the Abrolhos Islands and four delicately set Diamonds for an elevated look.
At Latitude Jewellers, we proudly offer ‘Pearls of the World,’ farming three unique species of oysters from our own waters while carefully sourcing and handpicking the finest pearls globally. Founder and Pearl Farmer Pia Boschetti, with over 20 years of expertise, has perfected the art of selecting the best pearls from around the world. Among them, Australian South Sea Pearls stand out for their exceptional size, lustre, and quality, making them some of the most sought-after pearls worldwide. Cultured sustainably in the pristine waters off the northwest coast of Australia, these pearls are the treasures of the Pinctada maxima oyster.

- 9ct Yellow Gold or Sterling Silver Solid Basile Island pendant
- 9-10mm Australian South Sea Pearl,
- 4x 0.02ct Round Brilliant Cut Diamonds (Colour: GI, Clarity; SI), bezel set
