When you think of pearl jewelry, what comes to mind? Maybe images of fancy ladies from a bygone era, sipping tea with their pinkies up, wearing strands of pearls? But wait, hold up! Pearls are not just for your grandma's jewelry box anymore. They have been making a fierce comeback for a few seasons now, proving that they can be both modern and timeless.
How can pearls be modern?
Forget the stuffy image of pearls being reserved for formal occasions. Modern pearl jewelry takes on a whole new vibe, mixing classic elegance with a fresh, contemporary twist. From modern pearls set in minimalist settings, to sleek pairings with gold, there are endless ways to incorporate pearls into your everyday look.
But are they really timeless?
Absolutely! Pearls have been cherished for centuries, symbolizing purity, wisdom, and beauty. Their timeless appeal transcends trends and fads, making them a staple in any jewelry collection. Whether you opt for a classic strand of pearls or a modern pearl statement piece, you can be sure that your pearls will never go out of style.
How to mix pearls into your look
Ready to embrace the modern classic that is pearl jewelry? Here are a few tips to help you confidently incorporate pearls without looking too 'perfect':
1. Mix and match: Don't be afraid to mix your pearls with other metals and gemstones for a contemporary look. Trying pairing a smooth & simple pearl ring with a chevron band to maximize contrast.
2. Layer it up: Experiment with layering different styles of necklaces for a chic, on-trend style. For example: a simple pearl pendant paired with a longer statement pendant in an organic texture will look effortlessly cool.
3. Try mother-of-pearl: Pearl's iridescent sister, mother-of-pearl is actually shell and can be cut and polished into crisp fun shapes, like our new MOP charms.
4. Dress it down: Pair your pearls with a casual outfit to add a touch of sophistication to your everyday look. I love mixing fancy earrings with a sweatshirt, or a cute pearl necklace with an oversized T.
So there you have it - pearls are not just for your nana anymore! With their modern twist and timeless appeal, pearl jewelry is the perfect way to add a touch of soft minimalism to any outfit. Embrace the modern classic and let your pearls shine!
