Pearls are an anytime kind of gem, from special occasions to everyday dressing. But there’s something special about pearls during the holiday season, especially when they’re crafted in an extra festive way, as Mateo has done with a new capsule extension of its best-selling Dots collection.
What sets the four pretty pieces apart are their cluster settings of pearls, arranged in floral fashion and accented with diamonds—like gleaming poinsettias strung with lights from the tree.
There’s a subtle sophistication to the collection—these aren’t your supercharged pearl statement pieces—but they command attention nonetheless, sleekly set with a hint of sparkle that would appeal to quiet-luxury fans and It girls alike.
The collection, when viewed through the red-and-green-tinted lenses of the holidays, couldn’t be better for the season’s jubilant occasions. But with a resemblance to white cherry blossoms, they fit in just as well in spring, and pearls are also perfect complements to summery whites. So these jewels are just right for now and later—and would make a wonderfully memorable (and oft-used) gift this year.
The capsule collection’s four pieces range in price from $2,650 to $9,880. They’re available now, as are other gift-worthy jewels from Mateo’s Dots collection, featuring such gemstones as turquoise, onyx, lapis, and malachite.
