Soft and sculptural, luminous and lively, refined and rare. When you reach for the perfect statement piece of jewelry ― never underestimate the power of pearls.
Ylang 23, the landmark jewelry store in Dallas’ Plaza at Preston Center, knows special pearls like few others. The stylish jewelry mavens known for their chic curation of jewelry designers offer modern, stylish versions on the classic for that distinctive pearl look with any ensemble and occasion.
Pearls have been the secret weapon of some of the world’s most powerful and most often emulated women. From First Ladies (including Jackie Kennedy and Barbara Bush) to Hollywood starlets (Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor, among others) and royalty (including Queen Elizabeth I and II) ― pearls have been a tried-and-true, feminine power source for millennia.
A symbol of purity and perfection ― the beauty of pearls illuminates the wearer. Also, a symbol of natural strength, created as a protective defense against outside elements, pearls are a remarkable, natural and thoroughly unique gemstone. The undeniable value of these natural wonders even saw pearls used as a form of currency among some societies in the South Seas.
But pearls are taken to a new level at Ylang 23. Look at these pieces for confirmation of what can be done with pearls.
Check out the incomparable luster of this Kataoka pearl snowflake diamond ring. A notched band set with a pearl center, pops against its array of brilliant diamonds, a total of 0.37 carat. The pearl seems to ‘float’ within its setting. Handcrafted in 18-karat beige gold in Tokyo, it would make for the ultimate dream gift.
Designer Cathy Waterman’s gorgeous diamond overlay pearl and platinum necklace is perfect for layering. It measures 22-inches long. The pearl strand is centered with a large 3mm pearl that is detailed in diamond overlay, and finished with a toggle clasp.
