While there’s certainly a place for both types in any jewellery box, over the last few years, I’ve noticed that the line between trendy and timeless jewellery has blurred. Take pearls, for example. Pearls are as classic as jewellery comes, but lately, they’ve broken free from their strung-up constraints and have been blown up into jumbo and baroque proportions to create statement pieces that are also wholly elegant and trend-proof. This is a difficult combination to master, but apparently, not for Thomas Sabo.
Thomas Sabo has a knack for creating premium but directional jewellery, so it should come as no surprise that the designer’s take on classic pieces is a cool one. There’s the Sparkling Heritage collection, which focuses on sparkle in a way that’s effortless and fashion-approved. There’s also the Pearls & Chains collection, a marriage of my two favourite jewellery aesthetics.
