So you think pearls just grow on trees? Well, they are actually grown on the seabed, and the whole process is laid bare before you here. Whether based on shells, glass or oysters, this is where they are turned into sparkling jewellery. Some are only accessible to deep pockets, but there are many smaller gifts to buy. Feel lucky? Then pay to dip for a shell and have the pearl graded, priced and served in a presentation pouch. There's also a play area and a cafeteria as well. - Colin Kirby
