When it comes to timeless elegance, pearls reign supreme. Their soft luster and delicate beauty have made them a favorite accessory for those who value sophistication. Whether you're aiming to elevate your everyday style or add a touch of luxury to a special occasion, these five stunning pieces from ARAO's latest collection will ensure you stand out with grace.
ARAO, a fine jewelry brand rooted in both the Philippines and Hong Kong, made its grand debut at this year's ArteFino Fair, unveiling pieces inspired by the birthplace of their pearls—the ocean. Founder Mirabel Rosar and her team have taken inspiration from the natural beauty of marine life, particularly coral reefs, to craft a collection that exudes class while championing sustainability.
Here are the five pieces you need to know about:
1. The Oriane Necklace
The Oriane necklace is a showstopper that combines the radiant glow of the Golden South Sea Pearl with the fiery brilliance of yellow and orange sapphires. This stunning piece is more than just an accessory; it’s a celebration of the sunrise hues that grace the ocean horizon. If you’re looking to add warmth and brightness to a sleek evening gown or a minimalist day outfit, the Oriane is your go-to.
2. Paradox 2 Earrings
For a modern twist on classic pearl earrings, look no further than Paradox 2. These drop earrings feature triangular-shaped pearls suspended from delicate chains, offering a fresh and versatile design that can easily transition from the office to a night out. They are a symbol of understated elegance, proving that pearls are as adaptable as they are timeless.
3. The Celeste Earrings
If you're after something simpler but equally striking, the Celeste earrings are a must-have. These studs, set with flawless mabe pearls, are framed in 14k gold. The combination of their minimalist design and impeccable craftsmanship makes them perfect for summer brunches or formal dinners. They're the definition of timeless luxury.
4. Everyday Classic Bangles
Bangles have always been an accessory that stands the test of time, and ARAO’s Everyday Classic Bangles are no exception. Each bangle features a uniquely shaped white freshwater pearl, allowing you to mix, match, and stack to your heart's content. These bangles are ideal for adding a touch of class to any casual outfit or stacking up for a bolder statement.
5. The Oriane Earrings
Rounding out the list are the Oriane earrings, a companion to the necklace of the same name. These earrings mirror the vibrant colors of daybreak, with golden South Sea pearls and a trail of diamonds and sapphires. Together, they create a dazzling effect that’s perfect for glamorous events or days when you just want to feel your best.
A Jewel With a Cause
What makes these pieces even more special is the brand’s commitment to marine conservation. Mirabel’s passion for protecting the coral reefs that nurture their precious pearls has led ARAO to collaborate with the Community-Centered Conservation (C3) Philippines. A portion of their proceeds helps protect coral reefs in Palawan, ensuring the natural beauty of the ocean continues to thrive.
For those who seek to blend style with purpose, ARAO’s latest collection is more than just a fashion statement—it's a tribute to nature's finest treasures.
If you're ready to elevate your look, these five pearl pieces are sure to complete your collection, bringing both class and conscience into your wardrobe.
