While the unofficial ladies’ uniform here at T consists mostly of comfortable flats and boyish silhouettes, the staff’s jewelry choices fall on the opposite end of the style spectrum: the pieces are pretty and dainty. And where stones are concerned, there are few options more ladylike than pearls. As charming as grandma’s hand-me-downs can be, modern fine jewelers such as Sophie Bille Brahe and Ana Khouri offer fresh takes on the classic jewelry box staple, as seen in T’s Culture 2014 issue. Here, T’s women’s fashion team rounds up similar designs with real pearls, at a price that won’t break the bank.
