• Pearl jewellery is an investment piece: timeless and can be easily transferred from day to night.

• My objective is to show GEMOLOGUE followers that pearls are not necessarily old-fashioned and dull; they can be contemporary and are easily combined even with the most casual of outfits to add a touch of simple sophistication.

• GEMOLOGUE has collaborated with several well-known brands, including YOKO London during the BAFTAs (the British equivalent of the Oscars) and ASSAEL.

• I would like to educate GEMOLOGUE followers about the little-known but very talented jewellery designers using pearls who have an avant- garde approach to pearl design, making pearl jewellery fresh and fun.

• Pearls are often dismissed as old-fashioned by younger generation.

• I have styled high end pearl jewellery in a street style fashion: fusing pearl jewellery with more casual wear can make it fun and youthful.

• Pearls need to be seen in a new light, especially by younger generation.

• One of the growing trends is adding pearls to jewellery pieces in subtle, intricate and intriguing ways.

• Pearls have also become increasingly popular ever since Chanel and Dior reimagined pearls with a modern update.

• Coco Chanel once famously said, ‘Pearl is always right’. Chanel costume pearl jewellery is still seen as a timeless investment among women of all ages inspired by Coco Chanel’s trademark look as a dark elegant suit skirt or little black dress accessorised with long strings of elegant white pearls.

• Contemporary jewellery designers ought to delicately combine designing a cutting-edge statement piece but still sticking with time- honoured aesthetics.

• Younger women are looking for a minimal modern aesthetic: they like pearl jewellery to be dainty and wearable every day.

With Pearl Forum speakers: Peter Bracher, Jörg Gellner, Philippe Bouasse and Didier Brodbeck
