Why Did We Choose Pearl and Lace Earrings?

We are bringing two materials together that hold historical significance. Lace and pearls are both classic materials that have been around for hundreds of years. Lace has an innate story of the past, one that’s immortalized through the gilding process. Pearls themselves live many lives. They grow in nature, only to be polished, preserved, and beveled for long-term wear. Pearls and lace each have their own serene beauty, making them established and lasting adornments. We couldn’t envision a more suitable combination than pearls and lace.

The Many Depictions of Women in Pearls and Lace

Pearl drop earrings have been a symbol in art history for decades. In 1665, Johannes Vermeer created the oil painting, The Girl With The Pearl Earring. It took years for this beautiful depiction of a woman in pearl earrings to earn its credibility. Viewers can see the delicate combination of lace and pearls within the imagery. Today, this painting has turned into cinematic and thematic masterpieces.

Before this painting, there was Portrait of a Woman by Rembrandt van Rijn in 1639. The woman wears an opulent and transparent lace collar and pearl necklace. The combination is a symbol of the feminine, something that still reigns true today. Wearing lace and pearl earrings feel like traveling back in time, while also honoring an essence of luxury.
