Natural beauty: Baroque Pearl and Gold ‘Manon Necklace’

The natural beauty of baroque pearls derives from their superb lustre and irregular, beautiful silhouettes, making them a constant marvel to behold, and a true fashion statement.

Each jewel seemingly a polar opposite of the traditional view of pearl jewellery, in fact natural baroque pearls have been prized since the time of Elizabeth I; the Queen wore them in many portraits, and they have been loved by beautiful women ever since. The Manon Necklace showcases not only lustrous baroque but orchid baroque pearls in myriad hues of white, pink and lilac, each accented by a 14 carat white gold rondell, so that the whole necklace gleams.

It is an ideal length for baroque pearls at 18in, finished with a clasp of 14ct gold. RRP £1,330. CCUK Members £497.

Matching baroque pearl earrings: two gleaming pearls mounted on 14ct gold. Code BE17FP17. RRP £1,050. CCUK Members £267.
