Lavalier is a French term, translating to 'An item of jewellery consisting of a pendant, sometimes with a precious gem, suspended from a necklace.', this collection celebrates the birthplace of our pearls. The design reflects the nautical ropes and nets used to house pearl oysters after divers have collected them from the wild. Lavalier allows your pearl to be set without drilling, just as it emerged from the oyster.
