Jimmy Choo is celebrating 30 years by putting pearls everywhere they can possibly go.

For its anniversary capsule, Pearls of Wisdom, Creative Director Sandra Choi takes one of the oldest symbols of elegance and gives it a distinctly Jimmy Choo treatment, working pearls into shoes, bags and jewellery with plenty of crystals, metallic finishes and dramatic proportions.

The Ithaca wedge makes the idea particularly clear. Three resin pearls sit beneath its sculptural gold heel, turning what could have been a decorative detail into part of the shoe itself.

Then there is the Irina sandal, where pearls and crystals spill across the foot like an elaborate piece of jewellery. The effect is less traditional evening shoe and more wearable ornament.

The collection keeps that mood going with the Ines family of pumps, mules and flats, each finished with oversized corsage details. Bags get their own pearl moment too, with cascading strands across the Tube Mini Bag and Raindrops minaudière, while the Cloud clutch takes its cues from oyster shells and golden waves.
