Brace yourself for the necklace jokes because pearl jewelry is back in style! Find out what type suits your personality the best.
The classic pearl necklace has returned, and it has evolved into a lot of new forms. Once worn in long ropes by the 1920’s flapper nearly 100 years ago, now women have more options, rights and better technology. Pearl necklaces, bracelets and rings give an elegant touch to street fashions. They can be stacked on top of each other or be worn alone as a single pendant.
Pearl jewelry is a must have accessory for the season, and probably a few more seasons after that. To find out what kind of pearls fit your personal style the best, check out the list below. Click on the links if you would like to learn more about that item, such as what store to buy it.
Extra
This Gucci Glass Pearl Necklace with Bee ($1,990) is not real pearls, but they sell that too. The multi-strand necklace is interwoven with small G’s throughout, and it has a bee clasp closure.
Modern
Chloé released a lot of modern, pearl jewelry called the Darcey Collection this season, and everybody really wants it. These are the Darcey Hoop Earrings ($400) with Swarovski pearls.
Outer Space
The Poppy Finch Pavé Diamond & Pearl Chain Bracelet ($350) is the perfect layering bracelet that can be worn with everything. The diamond studded star shaped charm catches the light.
Classic
The Swarovski Iconic Swan Open Ring ($99) features black crystals and a rose gold plated finish. Swarovski’s iconic swan symbol swims next to one of their trademark crystal pearls.
Bohemian
Pearls are organic, at least real ones, so the look can be boho if you add a leather strap. The Chan Luu White Freshwater Pearl & Leather Choker ($90) can be worn in several different ways.
Alternative
Alternative girls will appreciate the Fallon Linda Pearl Spiked Choker (On sale for $86). It adds a romantic touch to full tattoo sleeves, liquid cat eyeliner and black leather garments.
Gothic
Not all pearls are cream colored. Black pearls, or Tahitian pearls, occur naturally in the South Pacific. The Tahitian Pearl Floating Pendant Necklace ($75) is inspired by these rare jewels.
Romantic
The For Love & Lemons Heart Drop Earrings ($63) are actually mother of pearl. But that is seashell so it still comes from the ocean. The statement earrings are a best seller online.
Flirty
Free People Vintage 1980’s Costume Pearl Necklaces ($68 each) are not only pearl necklaces, but they also have a key to your heart charm. Men’s heads might explode if they see it at a bar.
Preppy
The late Kate Spade’s last collection while she was still alive includes these Pretty Pearly Studs ($48) with gingham bows. The double sided earrings make the perfect addition to a summer dress.
Geometric
The ALDO Statement Pearl Earrings (On sale for $11.50) are traditional yet futuristic at the same time. Wear them with a romantic blouse and red lipstick like the model at ASOS does.
