Before it was used to describe an ornate style, the word ‘Baroque’ was taken to mean ‘rough pearl.’ So it’s fitting that cable crosses gleam with an abundance of sewn pearl beads in this reimagining of the fisherman’s Aran. The crew-neck pullover, featuring set-in sleeves and double-rib wrist and neck bands, is stitched in mulberry-silk Luxury Silk DK.
