Cygnet Bay is among Australia's longest running pearl farms. Conversely, Tahiti is the number one cultivator of pearls from Pinctada margaritifera oysters.

Although these are a variety of cultured saltwater pearls, the amount of time that the pearls are cultured dramatically increases the thickness of the nacre, and the likelihood of producing a baroque pearl. Most Tahitian pearl farm harvests, for example, produce more than 40 percent baroque and semi-baroque pearls.
