Shop Fine Jewellery
Truly timeless in every sense of the word, a string of pearls is a jewellery box staple that will never go out of style. But recently, many brands have been straying from traditional pearl jewellery and playing with different sizes and organic shapes to create pieces that are both heirloom-worthy and endlessly wearable. Here we round up five of our favourite alternative pearl designs that work with any outfit or occasion.
