Cartier Pearls

[ckrickett]

I love what Cartier has done with pearls over the years. I have been researching ideas for a few new projects, and I want a showstopping piece, so I have been looking at Cartiers pearls over the years to get ideas.

Here are a few favorites

Elizabeth Taylors La Peregrina


And this luscious number



I am hoping to incorporate emeralds, peridots, and diamonds, but I have to find the gems before I figure out the pearl portion (this project will most likely kick off early next year).

I love the History Behind that pearl!

Boodles has an amazing piece that features pearls, and some other sublime, very high end and out of this world designs that wouldn't look too shabby with pearls substituted for the gem stones - go to the 'High Jewellery' pages and be prepared to swoon!

how do you even begin a project like this ckrickett? Design first, pearls and stones later or vice versa? Make sure you include us every step of the way!
If you want a modern take on a gem and pearl necklace, there are some stunning examples at Bulgari, the Allegra and Diva necklaces are rather lovely with all the gemstones
