A gift of nature with timeless value, pearls have always been the favourite jewellery of women around the world.
Some iconic figures, famous women who caught the eye, not just as models of beauty, but also as priestesses of feminine creativity, have glorified pearls and taught us the many ways they can be worn.
From Vermeer’s famous “Girl with a Pearl Earring”, to Hollywood stars, White House hostess Jackie Kennedy, as well as author Agatha Christie and fashion designer Coco Chanel, a vast army of women have elevated this simple array of white pearls into a high fashion choice. At a formal event, morning boating or window shopping with a paper coffee cup in hand, pearls have their place on a woman’s décolleté or hand.
