The Pearl Era
Queen of Gems
Monies
From the iconic triple-strand necklace of Jackie Kennedy to the opalescent collar of Audrey Hepburn, pearls loom large in our collective lexicon of style. They have been historically designated the “queen of gems,” favored across continents for their elegance and poise. Contemporaneously, pearls are sought for their versatility…. a jewel at home on silk and denim alike. Designers of all stripes have integrated this gem into their collections, however none as memorable as Denmark-based Monies.
Striking pearls
Greig Porter
Greig gravitates towards pearls of character, eschewing perfectly rounded freshwater pearls for their nubby and irregularly-formed baroque cousins. Greig works often with Keshi pearls—a petite seed varietal favored for its fine, silky glow. These pearls resist perfection in favor of something more intriguing: texture and warmth that lends each piece a one-of-a-kind personality.
