FW22 Jewelry Trends: Oversized Pearls

Pearls are known to be one of the best-loved gems of all time. They
can be natural or cultured. Cultured pearls are the result of the
deliberate insertion of a bead or piece of tissue that the mollusk
coats with nacre (mother of pearl).

In the modern era, Coco Chanel was renowned for accessorizing with
multiple strings of pearls. It was a look Karl Lagerfeld adopted when
he took the reins at the House in 1983.
In recent seasons pearls have taken on a new attitude; often shown in
an offbeat way or in contrast to the clothing they accessorize. This
runway season, gobstopper-sized pearls took center stage at many
shows.

In a nod to the House’s founder, Hubert de Givenchy, and his designs
for Audrey Hepburn, designer Riccardo Ticci accessorized with pearl
jewelry including chokers and cocktail rings. He then went a step
further showing pearl embroidered pants and a pearl encrusted dress.
