Style Pearls for Self-Expression
Title:
Pearls transcend trends. Traditionally a symbol of wealth and nobility, the meaning of pearls has evolved in recent years, retaining their inherent elegance but also becoming a tool of self-expression and style rebellion. From Queen Victoria to Vivienne Westwood, pearls have historically been the go-to jewellery choice for men and women who want to make a lasting impression, especially when paired with everyday ensembles. Rooted in natural beauty, irresistibly luminous and infused with a timeless sensibility, pearls can light up a casual look. Style pearls as a minimalist accessory or maximalist statement piece, any day, every day.

What to Wear With Pearls
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 pearl brooch used to fasten the collar of a starched white shirt.
Choose Pearl Accessories That You Can Dress Down
Title:
Pearls’ inimitable lustre makes them perfectly placed to bring new dimensions to monochrome and colour-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-centre 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.
How to Wear a Pearl Necklace with Denim
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.
Top Tips for Wearing Pearls Casually
Title:
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 crystallised ear cuff, or a pearl bracelet worn alongside a solid metallic bangle, provides a sublime contrast to otherwise laid-back looks. Layer a single strand of pearls with a piece of chain-link jewellery like our Dextera choker, or add a pop of colour with the vivid tones of our essential Matrix tennis bracelets.
How to Style a Pearl Necklace
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 jumper, a polo neck 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.
