Pretty Pearls that Belong in Your Jewelry Box
Timeless and traditional, pearls are one of those staple jewelry box pieces that never go out of style. Beloved by celebrities, influencers, royalty, and treasured as family heirlooms, pearls add glamour and elegance to any look. And that’s why I adore them!
For a long time, pearls had a reputation for being preppy, but in recent years designers have embraced pearls’ beauty in a variety of colors, shapes, and styles. Some boast classic elegance while others intertwine with chains and other jewelry elements to create an edgier look. Today, you can wear pearls according to your own personal style rather than letting them define yours.
Here are some of my favorite pearl jewelry designs that belong in your jewelry box.
Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti Pearls by the Yard Bracelet
Simple yet statement-making, this pretty pearl bracelet is a perfect accessory for adding elegance to any outfit. With spring just around the corner, and your wardrobe transitioning to sleeveless shirts and dresses, it’s the perfect time to show off this stunner.
Tiffany’s Elsa Peretti Pearls by the Yard Bracelet features luminous freshwater cultured pearls scattered along a delicate 18k gold chain. It’s a beautiful design for those wanting to dip their toes into the pearl pool without any “grandma vibes” whatsoever.
David Yurman Pearl Ring with Diamonds
An everyday ring elevated with white cultured freshwater pearls and pave diamonds, this stunning sparkler is the perfect accessory for all-white assembles as well as black dresses and business suits.
You can pair it with almost any outfit for a dash of sophistication wherever you go.
Clash de Cartier Earrings
An ultra-modern spin on the classic pearl, these Cartier beauties are ideal for those looking for a fresh take on pearl earrings. Embellished with Tahiti pearls, onyx, and diamonds, these are an excellent addition to formal attire.
That said, if you want to go for a more dressed down look, you can also pair these sparklers with a sleek blouse and jeans for a casual yet stylish look.
Chopard Happy Hearts Wings Necklace
How adorable is this necklace? If you’re looking for an alluring take on the classic pearl necklace, this little treasure is a great option. Fun, free-spirited, and sophisticated all at once, Chopard’s Happy Hearts Wings Necklace features two mother-of-pearl hearts suspended from another heart containing a dancing diamond which is arranged to resemble butterfly wings. The effect is simply stunning.
The great thing about this piece is its versatility. You can wear it with virtually anything, no matter how formal or informal.
Van Cleef & Arpels Rose de Noel Earrings
Crafted in mother-of-pearl to create beautifully rounded petals around a heart that glimmers with diamonds, these Rose de Noel earrings truly are a masterpiece. Symbolizing beauty and romance, this exquisite piece definitely belongs in your jewelry box.
Tiffany
So precious and pretty, they deserve to be shown off, but mostly reserved for special occasions like weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and business events.
