The World Is
Your Oyster
The classic gem comes out of its shell
to celebrate Essential Vancouver’s pearl
anniversary by jill von sprecken
TAKE HOLD
Never one to follow the rules, Jimmy Choo takes pearls from their classic ladylike element and puts them in the palm of your hand. Outfitted
in sparkling Swarovski crystals, dove-grey suede and a polished silver
frame, this little number packs a punch — and still has room left over for
lipstick and credit cards.

WELL-SUITED
Coco Chanel once said: “A woman needs ropes and ropes of pearls.” If
your jewellery box isn’t up to the legendary designer’s standards, this
hand-embellished dress by St. John can certainly stand in for a few
strands. The timeless sheath is dotted with a veritable confetti of creamy
drops, taking it from easy elegance to eye-catching.
