Minimalist and informal but enriched with jewels and pearl necklaces. This feature focuses on a jeune femme chic who is non-conformist and sophisticated with an original appeal. A modern interpretation of the style of Mademoiselle Chanel.







A young charming lady who loves to wear jeans and white shirts with one-of-a-kind jewels to make the look unique and personal. There are various jewelry options. The pearl necklace is a must. It doesn’t matter if it is long like Mikimoto’s with a cross pendant or in yellow gold, rubies and black pearls like Cazzaniga Roma’s. Then there’s Nimei’s, which is made up of white, black and gray pearls. What’s important is to have a pearl necklace and, better yet, more than one worn one on top of the other. Considering the look is quite minimalist, you can overdo it on the bracelets. There’s the woven yellow-gold bracelet by Bottega Veneta or the brass chain bracelet from Giorà by Giovanna Raspini. And of course you should wear luxurious rings and watches in nothing less than gold.
