Keeping Waste Out of the Sea

At the Cortez Pearl® farm, sustainability isn’t a side note—it’s part of every step. Even something as simple as a buoy is reimagined to serve a deeper purpose.

Instead of contributing to marine waste, the farm uses repurposed plastic bottles to create the buoys that support pearl cultivation. It’s a small detail, but one that keeps plastic out of the Sea of Cortez and gives discarded materials a second life.

By choosing to reuse, Cortez Pearls honor the ocean they come from—not just in beauty, but in practice. This is what sustainability looks like in motion: thoughtful choices that add up to real impact.

Because every detail matters, and every pearl begins with intention.
