In this design, the grey and white metallic pearls have been hand-strung in a fluid line along the chest and back, incorporating a variety of Art Deco-inspired bezel-set diamonds and enameled pavé motifs around both shoulders. The actress is thus betting on circular fashion and sending a powerful message of awareness for the care of the Environment.
