NOT your grandmother’s pearls.

We’re seeing a HUGE amount of interest in pearls right now and it’s easy to see why.

Lustrous, smooth and naturally beautiful, pearls have always held a special place in jewellery collections. What feels particularly exciting at the moment is the way contemporary makers are reimagining them. Think sleek silhouettes, unexpected combinations, minimalist forms and fresh perspectives that feel distinctly modern.

From sculptural statement pieces to refined everyday wear, pearls are proving themselves far more versatile than tradition might suggest.

Here’s a little tour through some of our favourite pearl pieces currently in stock, created by just a handful of the 50+ independent studio makers we proudly represent.

Which one would you wear?

New from Carla Caruso Jewelry ✨

Introducing the Strip Hoops, a new addition to Carla’s coveted collection of contemporary gold jewellery.

Crafted in solid 14ct gold and finished with her signature buttery satin surface, these pieces balance elegance with a distinctly modern edge. Think oversized hoops, pill and oval silhouettes, and beautifully pared-back forms designed to be worn every day.

Also featured are the Arch Pearl Hoops, Carla’s most sought-after earrings. A graceful curve of solid gold paired with a luminous pearl, they embody the quiet sophistication that has made her work so beloved.

Refined. Contemporary. Endlessly wearable.

It’s no wonder Carla’s work flies out the door.

Some jewellery demands attention.

Not because it’s loud, but because it’s alive.

These earrings catch the eye with every turn of the head, every conversation, every step. Movement brings them to life, while thoughtful details, rich textures and beautiful materials reward a closer look.

Four very different makers. Four very different approaches.

But each understands the power of movement and the way jewellery becomes part of the body, shifting, catching the light and impossible to ignore.

Which pair would you choose?

BACK IN STOCK ✨

Contemporary. Classy. Elevated everyday hoops.

Crafted in oxidised sterling silver and 9ct yellow gold, these earrings strike the perfect balance between bold and refined. We love the clever clasp design, the strong silhouette, and that touch of solid gold sitting against the skin.

Beautifully made and endlessly wearable, they’re the kind of earrings you’ll reach for again and again.

Thank you Kaoru Rogers for creating such thoughtful and beautifully crafted work.

We loved this work and simply couldn’t let it go.

Although PLACE, the recent exhibition by Virginia Sprague (), has officially come to a close, a selection of pieces remains with us as part of our gallery collection.

Created during the two years Virginia spent living in Bangkok with her family, PLACE reflects the influence of this vibrant and unfamiliar environment. Rich in texture, detail, and observation, the work explores the experience of finding your place in a city that is at once strange, beguiling, energetic, and endlessly fascinating.

Virginia’s remarkable technical skill and meticulous craftsmanship are evident throughout the collection. The longer you spend with each piece, the more there is to discover.

We’re delighted these works will remain with us a little longer.

Available in store and online. ✨
