If you love jewellery, we have a collection encompassing pearls, diamonds, and semi-precious gems…
Jill Hansen, a pioneer and a world leader in the use of diamonds and pearls, is the proud owner of Anastasia’s of Broome and Lust™ Pearls, has created some of the most exquisite pearl and diamond jewellery ever seen.
With over 25 years in the pearl industry, Jill has done everything from seeding and culturing pearls to selling them at the top international pearl markets. Jill’s jewels are worn by many a discerning pearl lover, from stars at the Oscars to homemakers with exceptional taste.
However, if you can’t find the exact piece of jewellery you desire in our collection, we can design and manufacture whatever your heart desires. We are an artistic and creative company which seeks to present pearls and diamonds in a fashion context. That’s why all our jewellery is complimented by the immaculate finishing’s in gold, platinum or silver, designed to show off the brilliance of the pearl or diamond to the maximum extent possible…
And, if that is not what you are seeking, we are a family jeweller, so we have something for everyone, which includes a unique gemstone collection, a large watch range, men’s and children’s jewellery, manufacturing and redesigning of jewellery, jewellery and watch repairs, and giftware.
Another design that we’re immensely proud of is our unique fusion of brilliant cut diamonds into the pearls – thus combining two of nature’s wonders into a single cohesive whole. This range is known as Lust Pearls™.
Using her expert eye, Jill Hansen carefully selects each South Sea pearl based on its size, shape, colour, lustre and nacre quality. Jill then uses brilliant cut white diamonds of exceptional quality to insert within. The result is stunning pieces of jewellery which not only lights up the face, but also the room.
Ultimately though, our jewellery isn’t just about its immaculate designs or the purity of the gold we use, it’s about helping you find the piece of jewellery that is right for you allowing its beauty to express your true self.
And so the story continues …

Step by step to rebuild the business from ceiling to floor and front to back after the floodings in January, ended in a new fresh look for Anastasia's of Broome
From Old to a bright New start…
Why Did We Come To Broome?
“After taking a moment to consider this question, which was recently asked of me, I believe it was a combination of a lot of things… but ultimately it boils down to the fact that Broome is the Pearl capital of the world or at least Australia."
With Jill being a Sassy Pearl Expert, when an opportunity arose in Broome to open a business, which involved pearls and jewellery we decided to take it, and haven’t regretted it!

Love is in the air. Jill Nash and Peter Hansen married.
Both from professional backgrounds, there was now 2 diverse sets of skills to work together with Nash Pearls and Lust Pearls and now Anastasia’s of Broome.
Lust Pearls was invited to exhibit in LA, within the Good Day LA Expo Promoting Australian Businesses. A number of outcomes were a result which was to have our jewellery worn at the Oscars.
Lust Pearls was seen, and invited to be worn at the Oscars 2008, that was really exciting with the Lust Duchess Pendant worn as a featured piece by the Giamarco’s.
LustTM Pearls was my next venture. This exquisite and unique retail jewellery range was commenced. For sometime it had been my wish to combine the two most precious and desirable gems; embellishing pearls with diamonds. My desire was the creation of jewellery and accessories with a perfect balance of a creative design, using quality gems, metals and manufacture
I was a woman in a man’s world in my early days in business. Not always easy. Though my knowledge of the pearling industry was well rounded, my experience of the jewellery industry needed to widen.
1995 flying into the remote island of Manihiki, Cook Islands
From the Islands – Nash Pearls was born.
From this my wholesale business Nash Pearls was born to supply to the Australian jewellery market. I later expanded to include white South Sea Pearls, supplying both Australian and International markets.
Returning to Australia in 1993 after spending some years abroad I was ready to take on a fresh challenge. I was invited by a Japanese Pearl Technician to accompany him to the Cook Islands in the Pacific Ocean, there to be instructed in the art and practice of seeding pearls, and also to learn the skills of the harvesting and grading. I was very happy to accept what was a privileged offer to be brought into this industry.
My training was to be on the remote Cook Islands of Manihiki and Penrhyn, islands where the beautiful blue water lagoons were the ideal waters for pearl farming. Close to the equator the weather was hot and humid, and fresh water was a precious commodity.
