The second generation of pearler under Nicholas Paspaley Jnr continue to produce priceless gems of nature's art.

The late Nicholas Paspaley, pioneer pearler of Broome and Darwin was a man of some ambitious design; a visionary who battled both the tempestuous forces of nature and the aggressive tides of fate in order to help the sea to produce it romantic gem - the pearl, and as perfect a pearl as is humanly, and in nature possible to create. From his early dream where the pearl-producing oyster shell was the focus of his world, surmounting the odds to produce a pearl in the Australian South Seas that would have no peer. Paspaley Pearling Co. has grown into an international entity that has redressed the balance. The world has become Paspaley's oyster.

His three children, Ros, Nick and Marilynne are all integral parts of the Paspaley operation which today encompasses pearling as the primary and most important element of the portfolio, but with expanded interests and investment including an import/export business in New York, real estate holdings, a design studio, shipping, retail outlets, in a vast organisation that spans South East Asia, the United States, and the far Western, Eastern and Northern ends of Australia.
