A Talk with Lyon & Turnbull, presented by Sarah Duncan G.G.
Join Mosimann for a fascinating talk with Lyon & Turnbull, as jewellery specialist Sarah Duncan G.G. explores the extraordinary legacy of pearls, from ancient empires to modern icons.

Guests will have the unique chance to view and handle a curated selection of fine pearl jewellery, making this a truly hands-on and exclusive experience.
