Description

You only have to look at the pearl's recent resurgence, powered by the patronage of the likes of Harry Styles and Timothée Chalamet, to realise the pearl is nothing if not surprising. So, for her first episode of the fifth season, Carol sits down with pearl jeweller Chrissie Coleman Douglas, to speak about the origin and marketing of the pearl, while later in the show she speaks to Vogue contributing editor Jack Borkett about the pearl's changing place in the world of fashion.

This podcast explores every facet of jewellery – from who makes it, to who wears it, and why – and is a must-listen for everyone who loves jewellery or might be buying a piece of jewellery; anyone interested in design and history; and all those who love a rollicking real-life story.
