Comprising 64 pieces, the range includes the Fleur De Perle earrings (above right; $525,000), which feature South Sea pearls accentuated with diamond-encrusted camellias and vegetal motifs. The Cristaux Perles necklace (above left; $2.88 million) and matching earrings ($424,000) are inspired by 1930s design, with fibre-optic clusters of pearls suspended from diamond-encrusted stems.
