PEARL REPORT | 28 | 2022-2023 DESIGN ‘Sleek Blush’ pink freshwater pearl and diamond stud earrings in 18-karat gold by Yoko London Yoko London“Sleek Blush”18K金粉色淡水珠配钻石耳钉 丰富多样的时尚珍珠杰作 The luminous pearl is at the centre of artistic movements in the jewellery design sector, with companies offering novelty and sophistication with each new collection. 光彩流溢的珍珠在首饰设计领域开创艺术新潮流，不少全新系列均糅合新鲜感与高雅格调。 Pearl jewellers are taking cues frommodern buyers’ ever-evolving preferences for multifunctional pieces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but provide value for money as well. In most cases, the jewellery has to have resonance with the wearer – either as a symbol of devotion or a memento of survival or strength amid adversity. More meaningful purchases became the norm during and after pandemic-induced lockdowns, shared Michael Hakimian, CEO of Yoko London. Buyers also gravitated towards less ostentatious designs. “We experienced strong demand for jewellery that can be worn daily while still being glamorous,” he noted. “Many people want to invest in these kinds of jewellery as opposed to something that is kept in a safe and only worn occasionally.” Yoko London saw substantial increase in demand for contemporary, everyday pieces, which the company offers as part of its Trend, Sleek and Eclipse collections. Its latest offering, Eclipse, features an enchanting combination of Akoya or freshwater pearls and diamonds in delicate hoops and stackable earrings in 18-karat gold. The collection captures the enigma and mystery of a total eclipse. Versatile and modern pearls
