For the Ygeia necklace, the brand combines two of the biggest jewellery trends by adorning the string design with a gold-plated pendant featuring the eponymous goddess of good health.
Birch Pearls Necklace
We first spotted this necklace adorned by supermodel and street style star Bella Hadid and we knew we immediately had to have it. The stunning and statement piece follows the current ubiquitous pearl jewellery trend but takes a unique approach with the shapes and textures and the juxtaposition of 18k gold or gold plated beads.
