Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Perles, or pearls, have graced both the shores and the wardrobes of the elegant throughout history. A young girl skips rope at the beach, her white dress adorned with the natural pearls that lie hidden beneath the waves. Pearls have also been transformed into exquisite jewelry, such as Morgan's cockade and flexible rings. In formal attire, a man dons white waistcoat and silk gaiters, his pearl-studded cufflinks adding a touch of sophistication. Women, too, have embraced the allure of pearls, from the embroidered duvetin gown with otter trim in 1913 to the elegant crown hairstyles of the 18th and 19th centuries. The Countess of Hallez-Claparede's portrait in oil on canvas showcases a pearl necklace as a timeless accessory. And who could forget the pair of vases, Bolvry a perles or vases a cartels Bolvry, their intricate pearl designs adding a touch of refinement to any decor.
