Pearls for Christmas, amid gleam and contemporaneity

Striking a perfect balance between discreet luxury and sensuality, pearls in contemporary designs are the perfect gift to give or receive at Christmas.

A modernity that can also be seen in the type of model chosen. Far from the classic string of pearls, which is now a thing of the past, rings, bracelets and necklaces illuminated by the gleam of these gems from the sea, are designed not only to be beautiful and elegant, but also functional and versatile in order to become the perfect companions of everyday looks.

The Balthasar collection by Yana Nesper – purposely created for Christmas and therefore named after one of the Three Wise Men - features precious combinations of sparkling South Sea pearls with casual link chains in 18-carat yellow gold.

The 11 mm pearl that dominates the rigid, 18-carat white gold and white diamond bracelet by Autore also originates from the South Seas.

Intentionally dedicated to women who love a modern style, Yoko London's Trend collection comprises a series of stylish, vibrant and bold models, like the stud earrings with pearls and diamonds, that express a new balance between classic taste and rock spirit.
