From Kamala’s signature string to Harry Styles’s single drop, pearls are the go-to gem this season, in particular the knobbly, misshapen baroque pearl — a term that refers to the ones that aren’t perfectly round. Designers such as Pacharee have studded them with rubies for extra sparkle, while Sophie Bille Brahe has kept her designs minimal, as seen in her blush-pink Venus Rose earrings. Fashion houses like Bottega Veneta and Simone Rocha have used them in their new collections, and models wore baroque pearl crowns (yes, really) at Dior’s latest tarot-inspired couture presentation. And at Fendi Delfina Delettrez’s keenly awaited debut as creative director of jewellery saw hair combs and pendants made from Murano glass and baroque pearls that nestled into the models’ ears.
