Pretty pearls

The precious pearl has been branching out from its traditional, regal image over the past few seasons, featuring in more modern pieces like chockers and cuff bracelets. However, this year will see a return to its roots. The classic pearl necklace will be very popular in 2017, like this beautiful Jersey Pearl Oval Pearl example.
