If diamonds are a girl’s best friend, pearls are truly a woman’s treasure. Indeed, classic style is back in a big way. For many, this means pearls are taking centre stage.

Of course, nothing’s sweeter than a new twist on an old favourite. Today’s shoppers love retro-style bands and antique-inspired jewellery pieces, but cutting-edge jewellers have the skill to add their own modern touch to the bespoke pieces they craft.
