New gold, pearls collection from Paspaley

Jewellery designer and manufacturer Paspaley has unveiled a new "Stellar" collection of gold and pearl items that it says are indicative of its heritage.

Paspaley is over 70 years old and prides itself on growing and harvesting some of the "finest quality pearls in the world". For its latest collection, the South Sea company has married the marine gems with yellow and white gold.

Items included in its latest assortment, which are described by the company's executive chairman Nicholas Paspaley as being adorned with "little pieces of the moon", are sets of earrings, clasps, and necklaces.

The collection's theme is also lunar and includes small moon-shaped or star-shaped pendants and galaxies.

"This is an exquisite Paspaley collection," said Juergen Kammler, the head designer of the Paspaley workshop. "[It is] chic and modern in its execution but steeped in the romance of the pearling adventure that lies at the heart of Paspaley."

The "Stellar" collection is Mr Kammler's fifth launch with the company and it will be available for sale at exclusive boutiques in various cities, including the UAE's famous Mall of the Emirates and Burjaman Centre.
