DESIGN 设计 PEARL REPORT | 38 | 2025-2026 历年来，珍珠的形象已从保守、经典、女性化蜕变成摩登前卫，年轻 一代对其魅力和百搭的设计趋之若鹜。随着设计师不断推陈出 新，珍珠正大步迈进新时代。 妙想天开的世界 扎根伦敦的瑞士珠宝设计师Cora Sheibani，其作品既富雕塑感又妙 趣新奇，并经常采用阳极氧化铝等非传统材料制作首饰。其同名高级珠 宝品牌在2002年创立。 Sheibani钟爱珍珠的含蓄的光泽和出众的气质。她首个珍珠珠宝系 列“Skin Deep”的材料，就运用了Akoya珍珠、爱迪生珍珠和大溪地珠，以 蜜桃色、灰色、银色、金色和柔和的绿色为主调。 Design and sustainability Pearl farming, when conducted responsibly, can be a net positive for the environment. Oysters act as natural water filters, improving water quality and benefiting the surrounding ecosystem. Sheibani has been sourcing certified and sustainable gold for many years and her recent focus on pearls stems from the same values. Pearl cultivation depends on clean, healthy water systems, making it inherently tied to environmental stewardship. “Choosing pearls, particularly freshwater ones, feels like a natural continuation of these principles,” she said. Zeman, for her part, also places a premium on sustainable and ethical business practices, adding that she supports companies that are transparent and share her values. For Fulton, sustainability also extends beyond environmental responsibility. She partners with independently verified and accredited material suppliers that recirculate gold, uphold rigorous ethical standards and source majority of their diamonds from reclaimed origins. Future of pearls Pearls in Sheibani’s Skin Deep Collection are untested as an integral part of the design concept. According to the designer, the pearls did not undergo laboratory testing for treatments or enhancements. “That was intentional – a quiet act of respect and embracing authenticity in materials and mindset, and a celebration of what might be only Skin Deep,” she continued. To address potential quality concerns, Sheibani focuses on building strong relationships with trusted, established suppliers. For Fulton, consistent sourcing has been a challenge over the last three years, mainly due to high prices and declining quality. Unconventional colours, which figure extensively in her collections, can be scarce, which makes it harder to scale a product offering. Pearls have risen in popularity over the years and this trend is expected to gain further traction. Sheibani sees a clear shift in perception, adding that all pearl types possess unique hues and textures. This diversity adds character and story to the jewellery and further celebrates individuality. Fulton shares a similarly optimistic view as more consumers embrace pearls. “I am just happy pearls have shaken off their ‘old-fashioned’ image,” she stated. “As the market becomes saturated with white round and baroque designs, there is growing opportunity for coloured pearls and pearls combined with gems and other unconventional materials.” Pearl bracelet from Boochier’s B-Boy Collection Boochier B-Boy系列珍珠手链 Round and baroque pearl earrings by White/Space 圆形和巴洛克珍珠耳环 Pearl earrings by White/Space 珍珠耳环
