Hunting For Pearls
Dinner with Hanne K. Alsbirk

Hanne Alsbirk, a Danish-American cultural anthropologist, shared her past two years of research on Chinese pearls for our Women in Business gathering. Covering the historical significance of pearls in China and the world, quality levels, characteristics linked to region and species variations, our audience was taught to distinguish almost every pearl on the market. The intricacies of selecting the perfect pearl were balanced against a contemporary style guide, presenting oeuvres d'art from the global jewellery art and fashion scenes.
