Pearls are always appropriate

Imagine this: soft Bossa Nova jazz is drifting through the salty Summer air. Your feet are sinking into the white sand of Rio de Janeiro's crown jewel: the Ipanema beach. Sunkissed faces are sheltered under colourful umbrellas scattered along the shoreline. The cheers from a volleyball game mingle with the soft lapping of the crystal blue waves. The local vendors are cooking up hot food that you wash down with a coconut.

No need to just imagine it — we decided to encapsulate this feeling and bring it to you in the form of luxury jewellery. And as the pearl trend continues to take over beaches and catwalks alike, there’s no better to these immortal gems than our Pearl Core collection. 

The Pearl Core Collection

Many thought they were a fleeting phase, yet pearls have proven they are worth the investment. The androgynous accessory is historically a symbol of class yet easy to incorporate into your unique style.

A compilation of our signature pearl cufflinks and the brand new Ipanema range, Pearl Core shines an iridescent light on the season’s most desirable gemstone. 

Pulled straight from the style of the Brazilian beach-goers and named Ipanema because it is an adaptation of traditional Brazilian” scapular” necklaces. The Ipanema range sits at the crossroads between a delicate strand of pearls, a classic chain and a sentimental pendant accessory. 

Where the freshwater pearls and thin chain meet, a mini icon of either a cross or fleur-de-lis blends the transition between the two materials. Choose from two pearl colours (white or black) and two accessory types, a necklace or a double-wrap bracelet. 

Pearls of wisdom

Their reputation may precede them but incorporating pearls into your everyday collection is actually quite simple.

Many a time have you complained of the woes of accessorising. However, pearls are immune to that scrutiny as they pair seamlessly with themselves. If you dare to be bold and appear in the full collection, we can assure you there shall be many glares of jealousy rather than confusion.

The saying “pearls are always appropriate” was created by the truly glamorous, and we intend to emulate them.

In summer and spring, pearls are a powerful companion. A simple string of them around the neck or wrist is a statement on its own. 

But there’s no need to retire them during the colder months. In fact, you could be doing yourself a disservice. 

When styling, just remember that pearls should complement the tone of whatever they’re resting upon. If that’s flesh, then the undertones of the skin. The same rule applies to the colours of fabric. 

It’s the reason why you have more options during these colder months to incorporate different coloured pearl accessories. Don’t shy away from darker and alternative pearl shades or believe you need to match every outfit to the traditional milky white.
