Do you still like pearls?




Even in the most ancient jewels the pearl was a star. Pearls have always been considered a classic in the world of jewelry, loved by queens and princesses, but also by women in general. But now? Do pearls retain their charm? What do the younger generations think? These questions are answered by a survey conducted in the USA by the Cultured Pearl Association of American and carried out by Mvi Marketing. Of course, the survey was conducted on American consumers, but it is very likely that the results differ not much from those that would be achieved in other countries.

The study was conducted July 19-24 with questionnaires to 1,012 people who bought at least $ 200 worth of jewelry in the past three years. The respondents are between the ages of 25 and 55, 73% female, while 27% male. The identikit also considers a family income of over $ 50,000. Additionally, 73 percent of the survey respondents were white, 9 percent African American, 9 percent of Asian descent, and 6 percent Latin American.

Result: pearls are among the favorite materials and 66% indicate that they have at least one jewel with the white spheres, daughter of the sea. Of this share, 69% own a string of pearls and 62% have pearl earrings. Again: 65% say they have at least one family jewel in their collection. And 46% say that pearls are a very common purchase, both because they are also bought for themselves as well as as a gift. Pearls are also linked to special occasions: 52% bought or received pearl jewelry for a birthday, while 46% for an anniversary. Young people like them too: Consumers between the ages of 25 and 35 think pearls are exceptional.

There are also two new trends among younger consumers: men wearing pearls and pearl engagement rings. Men between the ages of 25 and 45, in particular, are interested in wearing pearl jewelry: 42% of those aged 25 to 35 and 47% of those aged 36 to 45, compared to 16% of men aged between 46 and 55 years old.

But, unfortunately, there are also negative aspects: for example, the general lack of information on the world of pearls. 81% of consumers have heard of cultured pearls, but only 34% know what it means and 60% do not know the connection between pearls and sustainability. In addition, 23% go against the tide and think that pearls belong to their grandmother’s time and 8% consider them outdated.

The little pearls of Moksh

//




Jewels with surfaces made with hundreds of small keshi pearls: it’s the technique of the Indian Maison Moksh ♦ ︎

Jewels that are a patient, incredible, virtuous composition made with hundreds of tiny pearls. So much so that some jewels seem almost like cloth. It is the specialty of Moksh, an Indian Maison based in Mumbai. It is worth admiring these jewels. Moksh’s origins go back to an ancient family of jewelers. In the thirties Kirtilal Harilal Chokshi founded a gold trading company called Chokshi Kirtilal Jeshinglal. Later, Kirtilal Chokshi’s first cousin, Kamlesh Zaveri and his son Nailesh Chokshi, joined the company. In 1998 Milan Choksi joined the company and created Eternity Jewels. After several steps, Moksh was founded in 2005, with the idea of ​​bringing together cutting-edge design, technology for the creation of jewelery with exceptional precious stones.

But, in particular, Moksh used a technique that uses hand-woven Japanese micro-keshi pearls, often combined with diamonds and colored gems. The end result is an unusual fabric-jewel. The composition of surfaces or decorations with many small spheres is, among other things, a legacy of the ancient Mughal art, also used to enrich the architecture of palaces and mosques. Moksh, however, has chosen to reinterpret this technique in a modern key.

Pearls for eternity with tinyOm

The tinyOm jewelry: 18K gold and Bahraini pearls ♦ ︎

TinyOm founder Virginie Dreyer, a former lawyer in Paris, defines her business as “jewelery for the Soul”. In short, jewels for the spirit, more than for vanity. As, moreover, the name of the small Maison indicates, which incorporates the suffix om, a Tibetan mantra inspired by the creation of the universe. Virginie moved to the Middle East for family reasons, studied graphics and design and, attracted by the goldsmiths and crafts of Bahrain, her adopted country, she began to create jewelry. She is passionate about yoga, which she practices and teaches, as well as inspiring her jewelry.

The small 18-karat gold threads that make up the jewels are combined with small Bahraini pearls, which for Tiny Om “are the rarest and most exceptional for their unique nature: they are born where fresh water springs burst into the salty water of the sea, acquiring an extraordinary brightness thanks to this unusual contrast ”. Rare, in short, but not excessively, given that the tinyOm jewels have prices that do not exceed $ 700.

Yoko London’s high jewelery bracelets

/




The word bracelet derives from the Latin language: the term brachile meant something related to the arm. But the use of the bracelet is much older: the first discovered by archaeologists date back to the Bronze Age, and they were very simple. After the era of ancient Rome, the bracelet returned to fashion in the Renaissance, also thanks to the shape of the clothes, with shorter sleeves. And today the bracelet is still one of the most worn jewels.

Unfortunately, however, it is also too underestimated. In most cases the bracelet consists of a simple colored cord, a leather lace, or a thin metal wire. All materials that would hardly be chosen for a necklace or a ring. The Maison Yoko London, instead, proves that the bracelet can be a luxurious jewel to be proudly displayed. Pearls, as Yoko London’s jewels testify, can become an excellent material for creating large, but also classic bracelets. The pearl bracelets have only one point against them: they must be treated with care, because pearls can be damaged if bumped against hard materials, or in contact with acid substances, including sweat. But it is a risk that you can gladly take.

Yoko London, a high-end jewelry brand specializing in pearls, is launching a new collection with (relatively) more affordable prices: jewels start at less than a thousand pounds (or euros). The collection is called Sleek and is in line with the style of the Maison: classic, licensed to amaze. The collection consists of 18-karat white or yellow gold earrings, diamonds and, of course, lots of pearls. Those used are the 5-5.5mm Akoya, often arranged in a surprising way.

The carved pearls of Galatea




Carve the pearls. It may be sacrilege for someone. For Chi Huynh, founder of Galatea, it is an art. The idea originated in the late nineties, when the designer of Vietnamese origin accidentally dented a pearl that he was preparing for a jewel. He therefore asked himself what could happen to sculpt the whole pearl. He did it.

From that idea, Galatea Carved Pearls was born, which takes its name from one of the 50 nymphs of the sea according to Greek mythology. The first carved pearls of Galatea contained diamonds enclosed in the mother of pearl sphere. But then the art of carving of Chi Huynh expanded to a wide range of interventions and includes jewelry with black Tahitian pearls, as well as Golden South Sea or freshwater pearls. With the art of carving pearls, always done by hand, the artist-designer has won several jewelry awards.

Difficult to imitate it: mother of pearl, although softer than diamonds, is rather hard and must be handled with care not to ruin the small spheres. The pearl is first traced by hand and sculpted and then polished to smooth the surface. The effect is truly amazing.

Yana Nesper, pearls with embedded video

//





Yana Nesper’s idea is fascinating: to enclose images or videos in a pearl jewel. The Smart Pearl collection is based on this innovation, a combination of jewelry and hi-tech. The jewels, which use the main element of the Yana Nesper brand, the pearls, contain an integrated and invisible NFC chip. The abbreviation stands for Near Field Communications and is a technology used to transmit information without the need to physically connect different devices. For example, a smartphone with an NFC chip can be used for payment in a shop simply by touching an enabled reader.

In this case, thanks to an app, messages, images or videos can be recorded and transferred to and from the memory chip placed in the pearl. By touching the jewel with an iPhone or Android phone you can thus see about 3000 photos and hundreds of videos, which of course have previously been recorded.

Yana Nesper, an entrepreneur and mother of two, as well as an excellent pianist, is originally from Mykolayiw, Ukraine, on the Black Sea. In 1994 she married Frank Nesper, managing director of Heinz Nesper, a jewelery company specializing in pearls in Pforzheim, Germany. Since 2010 she is also a jewelry designer. The Smart Pearl collection, however, is really different from the others.

Yana Nesper jewels are also distinguished by one detail: a small blue sapphire set by hand in each piece, usually in a single pearl. But with pearl earrings, it can also be incorporated into the clasp.

Pearl necklaces for men by Comme des Garçons and Mikimoto

“Darling, will you pass my pearl necklace?” It’s not a habitual question that a man asks to woman, but now Comme des Garçons and Mikimoto think it’s time for a change. In fact, the Japanese clothing brand and the jewelery brand specializing in pearls have introduced a collection of unisex pearl necklaces. And, to underline it better, advertising also focuses entirely on a male figure wearing a pearl necklace. Above the tie.

Of course, the fashion industry has long decided that the border between the sexes is more blurred: often on catwalks the men wear accessories that one time were used typically by female , such as the handbag. The pearl necklace, however, is new. And according to Rei Kawakubo, the visionary founder of Comme des Garçons, which is based in Tokyo, “men also look good when they wear pearls”.

The necklaces for men are made of strings of white South Sea or Akoya pearls set in sterling silver. Some pieces have clearly visible metal elements, always in silver. The collection was unveiled in January during the haute couture week. The price of the necklaces ranges from 2800 to 39000 dollars. Necklaces for men, yes, but he must be wealthy.

Baselworld starts again with gems and pearls





Baselworld goes up with gems and pearls: a 50% increase in exhibitors is expected ♦ ︎

Baselworld, the big fair dedicated to watchmaking and the world of jewelry, starts with precious stones and pearls. Perhaps with a bit of surprise, in fact, the organizers announced a 50% increase in gem and pearl exhibitors for the next edition, in 2020, which will take place from April 30th to May 5th.

Zaffiri e rubino

The increase, explains the company led by Michel Loris-Melikoff, managing director of Baselworld, is the result of the measures taken after consultation with interested parties in the sector, as well as the decision to move from hall 3 to pavilion 2. The new headquarters is more central and allows all exhibitors to be grouped in a single circular space on the same level, on the ground floor, with secure access to natural light through its rotunda. Thanks to a more central integration in the general exhibition plan, direct access from Messeplatz and Hall 1, is optimized for visitor flows: industry professionals, end customers and media.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the largest international confederation of the jewellery, gemstones and pearls industry (CIBJO) and in particular its president Dr. Gaetano Cavalieri, for actively supporting us in the reorganization of the sector and for allowing us to redeploy the presence of its members to Baselworld.

The organizers explain that Baselworld has redeveloped these areas to make them much more spacious, at the same time integrating the hospitality areas and reception with bar and lounge ideal for networking. For the next edition of 2020, exhibitors in this sector now have the opportunity to choose whether to build turnkey constructions or build their own stands. A new offer that meets the expectations of exhibitors, combined with pragmatic cost control, now allows a more competitive positioning, for a better return on investment.

Pearls Danger with Tasaki

Aggressive-looking jewels in Tasaki’s Danger collection. Which also offers three pieces without pearls ♦ ︎

Since 1954 Tasaki has been producing jewelery with pearls. From Japan, a country that loves and respects traditions, for years the big company has offered jewels that respected traditional forms in the same way. But then, in more recent years, the wind of design has arrived and the Japanese manufacturer has introduced jewelry with bolder shapes. One of the latest creations, for example, is the Danger collection. The jewels, in effect, resemble an object that can to keep away from women who wear them molesters or men with not too polite manners. At the same time, they are fun and elegant.

But it is not the only innovation. A larger one is, in a sense, a collection composed of only three pieces. Which looks really new to Tasaki: it has no pearls. It is Elysium, which is inspired by the world of Atlantis, the legendary city similar to a dazzling gem hidden in the sea. A blue topaz cut in half, divided into two symmetrical parts, increases the surprise. Alessia Mongrando

Yoko London’s diamond jewelery, the Maison famous for top-quality pearls ♦

Who says pearls says Yoko London. The Maison founded in 1973 and led by Michael Hakimian has succeeded in establishing itself as a fine jewelry brand thanks to the choice of using top quality, untreated pearls, and assembled on jewels with a wide variety of styles, from the classic one or two thread necklace up to modern design examples. No wonder, then, that the pearls of Yoko London are a must for jewelery fairs around the world in which the Maison participates. Yet Yoko London does not just offer pearls. Are you amazed?

In fact, those who know the history and the catalog of the London jewelry company could raise an eyebrow. But here is the proof: the brand specializing in pearls now also offers fine jewelry made only in white gold and first-class diamonds. They are rings and necklaces of diamonds that do not even have a tiny pearl, in a modern but at the same time classic style. However, these are also high-end jewels for a limited audience.

The asymmetries of Yoko London

The Yoko London masterpieces with first quality pearls that choose a modern and asymmetrical design ♦

Often those who wear jewelry composed of pearls choose tried and tested models, traditional, perhaps even a little dated. But pearls are not necessarily an element for conservative jewelry. On the contrary, there are bright examples of jewelers able to use their energies and their creativity to use pearls in a surprising way. One of particularly creative Maison is Yoko London, which has shown this necklace at VicenzaOro, one of its most famous masterpieces, to be cataloged in the innovative high jewelery.

The necklace has pearls very well matched in a setting in white gold and diamonds. The design is balanced despite the asymmetry of the jewel, moreover there are earrings in the same style to match. The choice to create asymmetric jewels is not new to Yoko London, who has designed and created other necklaces that play on the absence of symmetry, even if they reach a satisfying sense of perfection. To add, moreover, that the pearls used are not treated, as those often happens in jewels that use these fruits of the sea. A choice that, according to the Maison, preserves the quality of pearls over time.

Alessio Boschi, the Imperial Rome at Couture





Alessio Boschi at the Couture Show: one of the great jewelry artists shows the latest creations at the Las Vegas event ♦ ︎

Alessio Boschi’s creative highways lead to two different places: the first is the tradition of classical culture, between architecture and sculpture of Italy, miniatures and the Renaissance.
At the Couture Show, for example, Alessio Boschi does not neglect this creative vein, that inspired by classical art, starting from that of ancient Rome. As evidenced by the large necklace, which is accompanied by a ring and a pair of earrings, under the name of Imperial Acanthus. Acanthus leaves were an ornament that was used in Greek and Roman architecture. In Roman times the composite capital was born from the union of the lower part of the Corinthian capital, with the acanthus leaves, and of the Ionic capital. The acanthus had a strong symbolic value, in connection with the Augustan propaganda of a return to the golden age and to the cult of Apollo. Golden age that is evoked in the necklace with extraordinary Tahiti pearls and precious stones, together with two cameos always decorated with classic figures.

Collana Imperial Acanthus
Collana Imperial Acanthus

It is a style consistent with another exceptional piece by Alessio Boschi, a necklace in pure neoclassical style. A millennial leap that, however, has the same antiquity of the classical era as its subject. In this case, it is a precious and faithful necklace to the nineteenth-century taste: 18 strands of Baby Akoya pearls in a natural color and a large, magnificent, authentic cameo. In fact, the shell with the large head of Zeus refers to Tommaso Saulini, the most famous Roman engraver of the time. His works were a must-have in the nineteenth century, a souvenir of the Eternal City that cannot be renounced for the upper middle class and the international aristocracy who came to Rome for the Grand Tour. In addition, the Italian jeweler, like the refined dandy of then, it was inspired by Canova and Thorvaldsen, disseminating in the mount stylistic elements taken from the Greek and Latin sculptural tradition: a blaze of palms, acanthus leaves, garlands are engraved on the back.

Collier neoclassico, Alessio Boschi

This care for detail, for the finish even in the most hidden parts is precisely the Boschi signature. And, again, on the jewel there is the muted red of rubellite pearls, a shade beloved by Napoleon and also used in Egyptian art. But the real surprise is the pieces that make up the jewel: the hanging pearl fringe comes off and can be used as a brooch. Function already present in the origin (and fortunately maintained) of the cameo that is only inserted in the new structure. A tilting system makes the day and night of the Medici tombs appear, a dip in the Renaissance that recalls the classical age.

La collana con il cameo-spilla staccato
La collana con il cameo-spilla staccato

But the second place of creativity of Alessio Boschi is that of nature, with high jewelry that would like also to Greta Thunberg would also like. For example, with the Melting Arctic ring: a jewel that is a small world, as often happens with Alessio Boschi’s creations. The ring is built on a band in 18 carat white gold studded with white diamonds and micro Paraiba. The dome of the ring is a sculpted white topaz, which looks like a block of melting ice due to global warming. In short, high jewelry with a social message. The dome, however, opens and inside there are three bears, a mother bear with two cubs, surrounded by a series of blue moonstones, representing drops of water and branches of icicles set with sparkling gems.

Attention: the puppies are separated from the mother due to layers of loose ice frosted with quartz, floating apart. In short, a jewel and at the same time a theater, with furrows that emphasize the distance between one ice and another underlined by dark blue enamel (the sea that creates fractures in the ice) while white bears are attached to pieces of ice and they are carved in Tagua walnut, a South American tree, also called vegetable ivory.
Furthermore, the ring can stand upright because of its flat bottom sculpted with concentric ripples that imitate the circles created by a drop when it falls on a surface of the water, another reference to the melting ice in the Arctic region due to the climate changes.

It was an opportunity to admire closely some of the great creations of the Maison specialized in the use of pearls. But not whatever pearls: Yoko London uses only untreated high quality balls. “Our pearls have a natural color. In some cases they may seem slightly less colorful than others on the market. But in return they will maintain their quality unchanged over time. Other pearls with more pronounced shades, instead, after a year begin to fade “, explains to gioiellis.com Mandy Namdar, business manager of Yoko London. Next to a line of jewelry intended for a wider audience, which we will discuss on another occasion, Yoko London presented some of its exceptional pieces of jewelry, with a Milky Way of pearls.

Stars, moon and galaxies are transformed into pearls in the collection by Autore ♦ ︎

From Australia to the Moon. It is not the space travel of a mission of NASA away, but the most romantic collection signed by Autore. The Italian jeweler who has been transplanting for 40 years in the land of kangaroos has created one of the biggest Maison specialized in pearls. Spheres that are daughters of the sea, but also have the nuanced color of the terrestrial satellite. And these daughters of the moon have inspired the Stars & Galaxies collection.

The pearls then become stars, satellites, planets, which gravitate around the woman who wears them.

The South Sea pearls are at the center of earrings and necklaces, sometimes surrounded by gold circles covered by small stones, like the rings of saturn, or fixed with frames that have the profile of a crescent moon. Or, again, in a frame that has the classic five-pointed star-shaped geometry. These galactic moons, moreover, just like the stars have different shades, from milky white to a golden hue, to the dark depth of the Tahiti pearls. All that remains is to put on a space suit and prepare for a trip to this precious galaxy. Giulia Netrese

Pearls and silver with Christofle

Christofle expands the Idole collection with the addition of silver jewelery and pearls ♦ ︎

Silver can be as precious as gold, as long as its design adds value to jewelry. And it is the goal that Christofle pursues, the renowned French Maison that is best known for silver objects, from those for the table to those for furniture. But for decades, next to the objects, Christofle offers refined jewelry collection, always with a very modern style.
As in the case of Idole, a collection launched in January 2005, which was the first line of solid silver jewelery created by Andrée Putman for Christofle.

Londra celebra le perle

[wzslider]Le perle hanno un fascino particolare. A differenza delle gemme, sono il risultato di un’evoluzione biologica. Ognuna è diversa dall’altra e, come sanno tutte le donne che possiedono una collana di perle, devono essere indossate per continuare a risplendere, cioè a vivere. La mostra che il Victoria and Albert Museum ha organizzato a Londra è la migliore testimonianza di quanto queste piccole gocce di madreperla possono essere meravigliose. Le perle in mostra, incastonate o composte in gioielli fantasmagorici sono la testimonianza di una passione che risale a millenni. Il fascino di questi gioielli trascende il tempo e i confini. Le perle naturali sono sempre stati oggetti del desiderio a causa della loro rarità e bellezza. Miti e leggende le circondano e orafi, gioiellieri e pittori hanno sfruttato anche la loro forma simbolica, tra seduttività e purezza, da essere segno di fortuna nel matrimonio a diventare messaggere di lutto. Tra l’altro, si parla non solo di perle, tonde e lisce, ma anche di madreperla, apprezzata nella gioielleria per il carattere decorativo.

Perle come simbolo. Tra Occidente e Oriente varia lo stile della gioielleria, ma il significato simbolico delle perle è rimasto lo stesso: simboli di potere e un indicatore di rango nella società. In passato governanti indossavano corone ornate di perle per dimostrare l’autorità dinastica e la prosperità delle loro terre. In Russia, Iran, Cina e India, l’ostentazione di perle era parte integrante della regalità dei monarchi. In Europa, le donne aristocratiche portavano perle rare montate su splendidi diademi per stupire e impressionare. Poi, le vecchie convenzioni sociali sono state rovesciate e le perle hanno ornato le scollature di dame in cerca di fama e fortuna. Le dee di Hollywood e, più recentemente, della moda e celebrità di tutti i tipi, hanno contribuito a non far tramontare il fascino delle perle.

Perle nella storia. Tra gli antichi romani, i gioielli con le perle erano considerati un lusso invidiato e costoso, un simbolo di ricchezza e di status. Nell’Europa medievale, le perle venivano dipinte come simboli di autorità sulle insegne, e come attributi di Cristo e della Vergine Maria, segno di purezza e castità. Con il Rinascimento, i ritratti hanno mostrato nobili e mercanti benestanti con perle come ornamento, simbolo di ricchezza. E con il Seicento e Settecento le perle sono ormai passate da essere un emblema sacro a quello profano: le perle hanno fatto parte di gioielli sontuosi, spesso indossati in modo seducente. Erano anche dimostrazioni di alto rango sociale. Nei primi anni dell’Ottocento, le perle sono considerate ornamenti romantici, erano montate su gioielli di tipo «sentimentale», per trasmettere messaggi intimi, per celebrare l’amore o esprimere dolore. L’opulenza e il cerimoniale nelle corti europee in questo periodo hanno visto un grande utilizzo delle perle in collane di tutte le misure, da quelle lunghissime ai girocolli. Infine, nel Novecento, a Parigi, i gioiellieri le hanno utilizzate nello stile Art Nouveau: la vita urbana e le mode erano cambiate, e le donne indossano abiti senza maniche, con sautoirs di perle che pendevano fino alla vita e oltre.

ukLondon celebrates the pearls

The beads have a special charm. A difference of the buds, are the result of a biological evolution. Each one is different and, as they know all the women who own a pearl necklace should be worn to continue to shine, that is, to live. This shows that the Victoria and Albert Museum in London has organized is the best testament to how these small drops of mother of pearl can be wonderful. The beads on display, embedded or made ​​into jewelry phantasmagoric are evidence of a passion that goes back millennia. The charm of these jewelry transcends time and boundaries.

Pearls as a symbol. Between East and West varies the style of jewelry, but the symbolic meaning of the beads remained the same: symbols of power and an indicator of rank in society. In the past rulers wore crowns adorned with pearls to demonstrate the dynastic authority and prosperity of their lands. In Russia, Iran, China and India, the display of pearls was an integral part of the kingship of monarchs. In Europe, the aristocratic women wore gems mounted on beautiful tiaras to amaze and impress. Then, the old social conventions were overturned and pearls adorned the necklines of ladies in search of fame and fortune. The goddesses of Hollywood and, more recently, fashion and celebrities of all kinds, have contributed not to go down the charm of pearls.

Pearls in history. Among the ancient Romans, the jewelry with pearls were considered a luxury envied and expensive, a symbol of wealth and status. In medieval Europe, the beads were painted on signs as symbols of authority, and as attributes of Christ and the Virgin Mary, symbol of purity and chastity. With the Renaissance, portraits showed nobles and wealthy merchants with pearls as an ornament, a symbol of wealth. And with the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries pearls have already gone from being a symbol sacred to the profane: the pearls have been part of jewelry sumptuous, often worn in a seductive way. They were also demonstrations of high social rank. In the early years of the nineteenth century, pearls are considered romantic ornaments, were mounted on jewelry such as ” sentimental,” to transmit messages intimate, to celebrate love or express pain. The opulence and ceremonial in the European courts in this period have seen a lot of use of the beads in necklaces of all sizes, from those with long necklaces. Finally, in the twentieth century, in Paris, jewelers have used them in the Art Nouveau style: urban life and fashions had changed, and women wear sleeveless dresses, with sautoirs of pearls that hung to her waist and beyond.

Les déesses de Hollywood et, plus récemment, de la mode et des célébrités de toutes sortes, ont contribué de ne pas descendre le charme des perles.

Perles dans l’histoire. Parmi les anciens Romains, les bijoux de perles ont été considérés comme un luxe envié et coûteux, un symbole de richesse et de statut. Dans l’Europe médiévale, les perles ont été peints sur des panneaux en tant que symboles de l’autorité, et que les attributs du Christ et de la Vierge Marie, symbole de la pureté et de la chasteté.

Perlen als Symbol. Zwischen Ost und West variiert die Art von Schmuck, aber die symbolische Bedeutung der Perlen die gleiche geblieben: Symbole der Macht und ein Indikator für Rang in der Gesellschaft. In den letzten Herrscher trugen Kronen mit Perlen geschmückt, um den dynastischen Behörde und den Wohlstand ihres Landes demonstrieren. In Russland war der Iran, China und Indien, die Anzeige von Perlen ein integraler Bestandteil des Königtums Monarchen.

Каждый из них отличается, и, как они знают все женщины, которые владеют жемчужное ожерелье следует носить, чтобы продолжать светить, то есть, чтобы жить. Это показывает, что музей Виктории и Альберта в Лондоне организовал является лучшим свидетельством того, как эти маленькие капли перламутра могут быть замечательными.

В прошлом правители носили крон украшена жемчугом, чтобы продемонстрировать династической власти и процветания своих земель. В России, Ирана, Китая и Индии, на дисплее жемчуга была неотъемлемой частью царствования монархов. В Европе аристократической женщины носили драгоценные камни установлены на красивой диадемы удивлять и впечатлять.
