The old rules no longer apply. Pearls can be worn with a classic little black dress Audrey Hepburn style, or teamed with flared jeans and a graphic T-shirt to create a look that has a punk vibe. The key is not to reserve pearls for special occasions. The way you style pearls can instantly elevate a casual outfit; think a pair of pearl earrings with a messy bun, layered pearl chokers peeking out from beneath a tailored blazer, or an ornate peal brooch used to fasten the collar of a starched white shirt.
Pearls’ inimitable lustre makes them perfectly placed to bring new dimensions to monochrome and color-blocked ensembles. Their curved surface reflects the fabric’s shade to emit a distinctive shimmer. Pearl accessories are also especially versatile and can be easily dressed up or down. Remember that there’s beauty to be found in imperfection; a pearl brooch pinned off center or pearl hair clips unevenly placed in undone waves can create a look just as captivating as that same brooch in a classic chest placement or hair pins styled in a sleek chignon.
Subvert expectations by styling denim with pearls. A combination infused with attitude, pairing a pearl necklace with different denim pieces is sure to inspire your imagination. The possibilities are endless; a simple pearl pendant brings added polish to straight-leg jeans, slingback heels, and a printed blouse, while a multi-strand choker, or pearl and shell pendant worn with a Western-inspired denim shirt offers a contemporary take on prairie chic.
The secret to wearing pearls casually is to mix materials. Pearls can create stunning looks when shining solo, but building stacks interspersed with solid metal hardware and crystals amps up the drama. A simple pair of pearl stud earrings with a crystallized ear cuff or a pearl bracelet worn alongside a solid metallic bangle provides a sublime contrast to otherwise laidback looks. Layer a single strand of pearls with a piece of chain-link jewelry like our Dextera choker or add a pop of color with the vivid tones of our essential Matrix tennis bracelets.
Pearl necklaces are experiencing a style renaissance for a reason. Chokers, pendants, and single strands of pearls can all elevate casual ensembles, lending an unexpected dynamic to everyday outfits. Layering pearl necklaces over high necklines is a modern way to style even the most traditional of pieces; wear over a collared shirt and sweater, a turtleneck jumper, or a distressed T-shirt to stand out from the crowd. For a more retro look, embrace the 90s aesthetic of a pearl choker, worn flush to the skin and sitting just above the collarbone.
Swarovski’s pearl earrings run the gamut from studs accented with clear crystals to full-circle hoops and dramatic drop earrings. With a single round Swarovski Crystal Pearl linked to a single stone, our Matrix studs are an ideal option for everyday elegance. For a head-turning alternative, opt for our Matrix drop earrings, which echo the free flow of water with rivers of clear stones anchored by brilliant Swarovski Crystal Pearls.
