JACKIE KENNEDY ONASSIS
Pearls – one of the nine gemstones or
navratna
revered in Indian mythology – have been admired since antiquity, appearing in
most traditional jewellery. Ancient texts associate pearls with the moon or the deity Chandra, for their soft radiance and satin
sheen. This timeless gemstone also lends elegance and classic style to contemporary pieces, as seen in lots 54 and 55.
