Thakoon Panichgul, known for his creation of figure-flattering ensembles and as Michelle Obama’s style muse, has designed his first jewelry collection for Tasaki. It includes draping lariat necklaces and rings of pearl and diamonds. The pieces which cost from $5,577 to $39,041 are set to launch on April 22.

Here is what Thakoon Panichgul told WWD:

“I really wanted to just go back to the DNA of what Tasaki’s about, which is beautiful pearls, beautiful materials and beautiful diamonds,” Panichgul said during a press presentation at the Grand Hyatt. “It’s working with the materials, making them feel a bit more sculptural as well, and modern. I wanted to put some youthful spirit into pearls.”
