Overview
Welcome to Kora Pearls: Our Family's Passion, Your Cook Islands Treasure

Here at Kora Pearls, we’re proud to share something truly special that’s been in our family for three generations: genuine Cook Islands black pearls. From the moment a pearl begins its life in the tranquil waters of Manihiki to the finished piece you hold in your hand, we’re involved every step of the way. It’s a lot of work, but it’s a passion that runs deep.


Our pearls aren't just beautiful; they’re a product of our pristine lagoons in Manihiki, where we sustainably farm each one. This commitment ensures you’re getting a 100% authentic Cook Islands Black Pearl, with that incredible luster and quality we’re known for. Each one is hand-selected and crafted with the care only a family business can give.


If you’re visiting Rarotonga, we’d love for you to stop by. You can find us at two convenient locations in Avarua:

And for a taste of local vibrancy, catch us at our pop-up tent every Saturday at the Punanga Nui Markets. We’re always happy to share our story and help you find the perfect pearl.
