A tribute to modest beginning of all pearls, and the oysters that gave us them. This duo of Baby Pearl Necklace and matching earrings favour the monochromatic scheme that echoes its humble roots. Interlocking hoops of baby pearls threaded to the ends of an oxidised silver tube, subtly hinting at the laborious life cycle of pearl oysters.
RIBBON & BRAIDS
Metals are often thought of as a masculine material for its hardness. At the right hands, they can be wonderfully expressive of feminine charm.
