Pearls are in the air again! Punctually in time for Coco Chanel’s 125th birthday, Anne Fontaine completed her film “Coco avant Chanel” with Audrey Tautou in the starring role. Of course, it would have been unthinkable to create the film without including Mademoiselle’s favourite accessory: an extra-long string of pearls. With the classical flap pocket and the pearls, the immortal French designer created the first accessories that were optimally suitable for daily use. Then as now, the timeless aura of the pearls hasn’t lost one iota of its appeal. They consummately combine natural beauty and aesthetic perfection.

For the 125th anniversary of Coco’s birth, Wempe interprets this classic item in opera length and with unconventional sequence of colours. The pale lustre of the freshwater cultured pearls harmonises with Tahitian pearls in the most widely diverse shades of grey.
