From Chaumet, Van Cleef & Arpels and Mikimoto to Tasaki, Sophie Bille Brahe and Jessie Thomas, see the treasured gem in a compelling new light, from dreamy clusters to architectural forms and more. A new take on pearl jewellery.
Pearls, the treasure of the sea and lakes, have been collected and cherished for many centuries. Today, pearls inspired modern jewellery, created by heritage houses such as Chaumet or Mikimoto and also contemporary designers. Sophie Bille Brahe dreams up clusters of milky pearls, and in London, Jessie Thomas pairs pearls with yellow gold. Specialist Tasaki tops architectural rings with a trio of pearls while Van Cleef & Arpels is a master of working with mother of pearl.
