The album cover for Pearl Hunting by Belle Morte features a woman with long, wavy hair sits in a contemplative pose, adorned in a bohemian-style dress with rich, earthy tones and intricate patterns. She holds a small seashell in her hand. The background blends elements of fantasy and gothic imagery, with glowing strands resembling bioluminescent filaments in her hair. The typography is ornate, with the album title written in a flowing script, while the band's name is styled in a gothic font with a subtle skull motif.
