Abstract

The pearl industry in Western Australia has become one of the world’s most premium suppliers of South Sea pearls (‘Pearling In Perspective’, 2008). Despite this, in recent years the industry has faced a distinctive decline in consumer demand (Southgate 2007). Between the financial years, 2010–2011 and 2011–2012, the Western Australian pearl industry decreased by 6 % (‘Australian Fisheries Statistics’, 2012). There is additionally also a constant stream of cheap freshwater pearls and plastic pearls that have provided alternatives to the market which may be affecting younger consumers’ intention to purchase (Dan and Ruobo 2002; Hanni 1996; Sims 2002; Tisdell and Poirine 2007; Torrey and Sheung 2008).
