After working nearly exclusively with metal for the last five years, Charlotte Chesnais has included pearls in her nine-piece capsule collection for Matches Fashion. It marks a turning point in the Parisian designer’s typically sculptural aesthetic. ‘Now feels like the right time to add something new to my work,’ says Chesnais. ‘I have been curious about pearls for a while but needed to find the right balance to integrate it into my existing collections. The shape and colours of the pearls add texture which I find really interesting.’

For some, charm jewelry feels playful and nostalgic — as a child of the '90s, my interlocking Italian charm bracelets were the epitome of cool. To others, a charm is an incredibly meaningful heirloom or symbol, serving as an identity marker in the form of a bracelet, necklace, earrings, or a ring.

There are certain pieces in every woman’s jewelry collection that she considers eternal classics—her first pair of pavé huggies, the 14-karat gold chain necklace she can wear with anything, or a personalized signet ring. These are the ones she’ll always save in a fire and wear again and again no matter the season.

Pandora has created a unique brooch in the shape of a bike in honour of the 80th birthday of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark.
