Exquisite Jewels from the Experts

Starting from humble beginnings as a modest shell and bead shop along Dampier Terrace back in the ‘80s, Anastasia’s of Broome has boomed and blossomed into the impressive family jewellers it is today, thanks to owners Peter and Jill Hansen’s vision for excellence.
Now located on Carnarvon Street, Jill’s expert eye has led to the creation of top pieces of jewellery, worn by stars at the Oscars to homemakers with exceptional taste.
“We are not just another pearl shop,” says Peter.
“We focus very much on stocking unique and bespoke jewellery hand-crafted here in Broome or WA as well as an extensive range of quality European designs. We are also continuing to expand our watch range and will soon have an iconic Australian brand, Adina.”
Peter says the new range will perfectly suit the sometimes wild conditions of the Kimberley.
“Our exquisite range of South Sea pearls are sourced by Jill, who has had over 25 years experience in the pearling industry, having experienced most aspects of this unique industry.
“There is probably no one more qualified who is working as a sales person in Broome,” says Peter.
As a family-owned and operated business, Jill and Peter have bought their own unique flair to the Anastasia’s brand and have introduced into Broome their own internationally trademarked “Lust” pearl jewellery.
It’s jewellery that has caught the eye of the A-list, with some items worn at the Oscars, having sold into the USA market for the last 15 years.
As pearl traders, Jill and Peter attend auctions overseas to buy the vey best pearls available in the market at the very best prices.
“This includes Australian pearls which are sold in Japan and Hong Kong at large
international “invitation only” auctions,” says Peter. “We also attend the world’s largest bulk South Sea pearl sale trade fairs held in Hong Kong.”
As the first business in Broome to adopt the Customer Service Code of Excellence, Peter and Jill are passionate about going that extra mile for the customer to ensure that they have an amazing experience when visiting the store.
“We want you to select your perfect piece and will be here to help and guide you in your choice,” says Jill.
“Being pearl traders also means you can choose a unique pearl just for you. We invite customers to select a pearl from our extensive range of loose stock and you can also go through our large range to find the design you want. We can then put it all together for you.”
Customers will receive a comprehensive description including the grading, the source, the size, and the shape so you can ensure your pearl is insured to the most accurate standard.
“Our promise to each and every customer is that we provide them with the best value pearls in Broome,” says Peter.
Visit their store and keep an eye out for special events, which Anastasia’s will be holding throughout the year. These special events are all about educating, informing and entertaining, with limited offers on their exquisite jewellery sometimes available.
