The iridescent gem which is officially the oldest gemstone in the world has long been a symbol of sophistication, favoured by Hollywood royalty and actual royalty alike, Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Kennedy and Diana, Princess of Wales all made the pearl necklace a part of their signature style. The earliest evidence of pearls being worn as adornment dates back to 520 BC, a Persian princess who was laid to rest with her pearl jewellery is displayed at the Louvre.
Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel made them synonymous with her fashion house by wearing multiple strands constantly, even famously stating “a woman needs ropes and ropes of pearls”. To this day they remain a key feature of the brand, appearing in some form in every ready-to-wear and couture collection presented by current Creative Director Karl Lagerfeld.
