On November 17, a lecture "Pearls in the history of fashion" with Ekaterina Svirina took place in BoscoVesna in the Masters saloon.

In ancient times, pearls were a symbol of passion and love, and in Europe in the Middle Ages – a symbol of purity!

During the lecture, we told the story of pearls and their significance in different countries. We talked in detail about the parameters of pearl evaluation and find out under what circumstances and thanks to whom cultured pearls appeared. We paid special attention to pearl jewelry worn by icons such as the Duchess of Windsor, Grace Kelly and Liz Taylor.

How did pearls help Cartier acquire the famous 5th Avenue mansion? What kind of pearls did Coco Chanel prefer? Where is Peregrine now? Why are pearls an invariable attribute of the crowns of monarchs? In conclusion, we talked about pearls in the context of Russia and Russian literature.
