The pearl necklace has a new image: Instead of demure and classic, it looks modern today, especially in contrast to casual outfits. With these ideas, you can wear your pearls every day.
Proportion is key
- Single pearl pendant: Subtle and modern – goes with almost everything. For example, the 9 mm pearl necklace with crystal halo or the brushed pearl pendant.
- Pearls with gemstones: More color and personality, such as the jade necklace with pearls or the amethyst necklace with freshwater pearls.
- Baroque pearl as a statement: Expressive and unique, for example the two-strand necklace with a baroque pearl.
In everyday life: the modern contrast
Pearls look most modern with casual pieces: a white T-shirt, jeans, a sweater, or a leather jacket. The contrast makes the look exciting. A fine pearl necklace with a simple shirt is one of the easiest combinations of all.
At the office: clear instead of conservative
A necklace with a single pearl suits a blouse and blazer. Complement it with small pearl stud earrings – or deliberately with simple silver earrings so that the look does not become too classic. More about this under Jewelry for the office.
In the evening: shine with restraint
A pearl necklace looks elegant with the little black dress or a silk dress. Combine it with pearl stud earrings such as the pearl stud earrings with crystal halo and refrain from other large pieces.
Colors that complement pearls beautifully
- Black and navy: Pearls shine particularly.
- Beige, camel, and cream: Soft and harmonious – ideal with gold vermeil.
- Pastel: Delicate and fresh.
- Denim: The most modern contrast.
Layering with pearls
Combine a short pearl necklace with a longer, simple metal chain. The pearl also connects silver and gold. Instructions: How to combine layered necklaces.
The length for the neckline
For a crew neck, a necklace that sits just above it works; for a V-neck, a pendant that follows the shape. More under Which necklace looks particularly elegant?
