Caroline says
Pearls are having a huge revival right now and have been pushed to the front line of fashion by the likes of Dior. No longer is this gem only about a conservative pearl strand, but it is now paving the way for some of the biggest trends in jewellery. Pearls are so versatile and come in an array of natural and died colours – one thing that is always consistent is their stunning lustre. Wear as a statement against dark tones or for a super feminine look pair with pastels.
