Praised by poets, deeply rooted in culture and fashion - pearl jewelry is one of the most feminine accents in women's fashion. Discover the powerful pearl jewelry for both everyday outfits and grand occasions. Here are our fashion tips on how to do it stylishly!
Pearl jewelry, apart from being stylish, also carries many meanings. Some European brides believe that they should not wear it on their wedding day (especially pearl earrings) because they symbolize tears.
Interestingly, in other cultures, for example in Chinese, they symbolize purity, in Persian virginity, while in Indian, pearls have positive connotations and are often seen on brides. According to one legend, Krishna wanted to give his daughter something pure and beautiful for her wedding, so he dived into the ocean and fetched pearls for her.
Where do pearls actually come from?
It is worth mentioning that pearls are not stones - they are an organic byproduct produced by mussels. They are created as a result of a foreign body, such as a grain of sand, getting inside the shell. They are most often opalescent, creamy white in color, although there are also much rarer and valued by jewelers, gray or black ones.
Pearls are often seen in Dior's jewelry, they are also very characteristic for Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana's jewelry. Designers of this house, inspired by the history of Italian culture, almost every season propose a collection of jewelry based on pearls. Famous fans and promoters of pearls in fashion were also Coco Chanel, Margaret Thatcher, and Princess Diana.
If you like them, you don't have superstitions and you are looking for pearl jewelry, for example for a gift, then you are on the right track. Do you like pearls, but have no idea for them? Take advantage of a few of our inspirations.
Pearl bracelet in 3 ways
A pearl bracelet can be great to start the adventure with this type of jewelry. You can sneak it discreetly under the sleeve of a blazer, but you can also expose it. A very fashionable, original, and stylish way to expose it is to wear it not under the sleeve (standard), but above it, provided it is tight.
A pearl bracelet against a high-quality wool black sweater will certainly impress.

Pearl jewelry by Chloe is simple, yet at the same time draws attention to itself with its complex form. The brand's hanging earrings will look best with blouses and dresses with exposed shoulders, for special occasions, but they will also look great with a shirt, suit trousers, heels, or moccasins. To better expose them, pin your hair up or comb it smoothly back.
MM6 Maison Margiela's pearl earrings are reminiscent of modern earrings in the 80s. Because of the retro inspirations, you can wear them with a leather jacket, a tight dress, and heavy motorcycle-style boots. Gucci jewelry (screw earrings) is the calmest of the trio. They will perfectly highlight the luxurious look of a light, cashmere sweater, or break the heaviness of a thick, woolen turtleneck. They will also be perfect for a little black dress for special occasions.

MM6 Maison Margiela offers pearls in a refreshed version. You can wear them, for example, as a choker with a jersey dress and high-heeled boots. The artistic Burberry necklace with a pearl will appeal to those who appreciate creative design. The hand holding the pearl will look great against a white, unbuttoned shirt or a smooth blouse with a stand-up collar.
The spring, "blooming" Dolce & Gabbana pearl necklace will contrast interestingly with a heavy fabric with a visible texture, e.g. tweed (how Chanel combined pearls with tweed). It will also fit with a lace dress, a patterned dress in a similar color tone or a pastel sweater - pay attention to how the designers dress their models for shows and get inspired by their look.
We hope you've already convinced yourself that pearls are for everyone - not only for dignified and plump older ladies, but also for younger women. Such jewelry can also play the role of a carrier of sentiments and memories in the family, passing from generation to generation. Every woman gifted with it will surely appreciate pearls and wear them with pride.
