Pearly lustres

 
 tendry bijoux
 

We love mother-of-pearl for its delicacy and iridescence, but it’s supposed to have beneficial and protective properties too.

 

Van Cleef & Arpels Envolée printanière
Springtime élan. To celebrate the season of renewal, Van Cleef & Arpels has enriched its Two Butterfly collection with pieces featuring a delicate harmony of white mother-of-pearl, pink gold and diamonds. The between-fingers ring sets our hearts a-flutter, and what about the earrings? Simply irresistible!

 

Harry Winston Précieux secret
Precious secret. For The Jeweler’s Secret, Harry Winston set about redesigning the powder compact as a pocket watch. The lid covered in mother-of-pearl opens to reveal a dial surrounded by floral motifs (a nod to the jeweller’s Cluster pieces) reflected in the mirror; the caseback is decorated with similar motifs.

 

Dior Bon sens
On track. The Rose des Vents collection, inspired by Monsieur Dior’s lucky star, now includes this medallion on a chain. As the wearer walks and moves, it twirls to reveal the compass rose on one side or white mother-of-pearl on the other. The woman wearing this amulet certainly knows where she’s going!
