contrast are the key points of the design, and from here, the designer can create other points of contrast – setting the pearl against precious metals or other gemstones, presenting a variation of the classic pearl necklace or earrings with pearls of irregular shape,using pearls of different colours or creating a structural contrast through an edgy modern setting. Lindsay Youd, co-founder of Allure South Sea Pearls says that clients are drawn to colour and shape variations, such as the company’s strands featuring a mixture of Tahitian, golden and with South Sea pearls that are compatible with lighter and darker coloured clothing. “Sunbeam gold baroque earrings reflecting Devino the classic setting while working in harmony with the freeform shape of the baroque pearl, giving a modern edge to a classic design.” Caroline Zingg of Devino says that while there is still a strong market for classic styles, it is still important to create bold and beautiful pieces as a fresh and fun way to wear pearls. “Devino matches pearls with complementary colours and sizes and in different lengths to appeal to different personalities and styles,” Caroline said. “The key is to maintain an excellent lustre to help the pieces stand out.” “There will always be a demand for the classic strand, although we have seen a client’s desire to be able to buy wearable pieces, items that can be worn every day,” Lindsay said. “Our Sea Grass Strand is an example of this – mixing gold with the pearls makes this a wearable modern piece of high jewellery to elevate your day look and make for a stunning evening statement piece.” The designers at Allure South Sea Pearl are committed to maintaining a classic element in their modern designs, while staying attuned to current customer demand. Cheryle from Stones and Silver says the current evolution of design means that pearl jewellery has greater versatility for the wearer. “Once upon a time, pearls were only worn for special occasions, but now pearl jewellery has evolved to a point where designs can be worn during the day and then dressed up at night, so they are such versatile pieces to have in your own collection.” Devino Versatility in Variation Lindsay Youd says that one of the advantages of expanding the range of pearl designs is that customers can now wear pearls more often at different events. Ikecho 30 jewellery world - <strong>April</strong> <strong>2022</strong>
Devino Keeping up with demand Erica Miller of Ikecho says that baroque and Keshi pearls are very much in demand right now. Keshi pearls are a by-product of the cultured pearl industry: the host oyster rejects the implanted nucleus, and starts secreting nacre to protect itself from the foreign object. The result is a small bubblelike indented pearl which is all nacre, with no nucleus, and can be any shape from round, oval, tear-drop or button, with a wide range of colours available. Ikecho has a range of keshi earrings available, with the variation in natural shape contrasting beautifully with the classic design. However, Keshi pearls are Stones and Silver currently quite rare so it is a challenge to keep up with demand. Fortunately, there is no question that the traditional symmetrical strand of perfectly round pearls, although the rarer baroque variations will still have their place in the market.
