Provocative Pearls

To a young Shaun Leane, Perals took pride of place in traditional pieces, where they appeared controlled and regimented. Everyone; jeweller, wearer & admirer, all had a view as to how they should be set in jewellery. They were seen in drop pendants or on a clasp, or knotted and strung into a collar necklace. They were rarely seen on their own, suspended, floating or embellished with precious metal.  

Until Shaun Leane brought his Avant Garde sensibility to bear, shifting our perception of the classic pearl.
