How To Wear a Pearl Necklace

A pearl necklace is a timeless piece that has remained in vogue, especially this winter. If you think pearls aren't your style, let us convince you otherwise. Today's designs go beyond the classic white pearl strand, though we still adore that classic look. For more tips on styling necklaces, continue reading. Here's our ultimate guide on how to wear the perfect pearl necklace for you.

Choosing the Right Color

Pearls are available in a variety of colors beyond the classic white. White pearls can have subtle hues, such as grey or yellow tints. On the other end of the spectrum, you can find black, pink, or even blue pearls. If you don't consider yourself a classic type and prefer something edgy, opt for a non-white pearl necklace.

Another aspect to consider is the color of the necklace itself. If it's not a traditional string of pearls, the metal choice is significant. Pearls look stunning with gold. Lighter pearls pair well with cooler metals like white gold or platinum, while colored pearls shine with yellow gold or rose gold chains, enhancing their warmth.

The Bigger the Better or Small and Sweet?

Pearls come in various sizes, allowing you to experiment with your necklace's style. For a modern, bold look, choose a necklace with larger pearls or a single large pearl pendant. If your style leans towards feminine and romantic, a string of smaller pearls may be more suitable.

A large pearl necklace can serve as a statement piece when worn with a sleek, solid-colored dress. Try a sexy red dress with a black pearl choker or let an ivory opera necklace hang elegantly over a long black evening gown.

Alternatively, a large pearl pendant can effortlessly elevate your office attire and also work well with casual outfits like a t-shirt and jeans.

A daintier pearl necklace is equally charming. Channel your inner princess with an opera necklace of champagne-colored pearls. If you prefer wearing patterns, opt for smaller pearls. A subtle pearl necklace won’t clash with patterned clothing.

Surprise, Not All Pearls Are Round!

It’s easy to forget that pearls come in various shapes. Pearls are natural products, and Mother Nature loves variety. In addition to spherical pearls, there are conch pearls and baroque pearls.

Conch pearls are pink and oval-shaped, rare, and valuable. A pearl necklace featuring conch pearls suits a fun and flirty style, like a floral skirt and white lace top.

Baroque pearls, which can be freshwater or saltwater, come in unique shapes. Their asymmetry makes them stylish and unconventional. We recommend baroque pearls for those who enjoy challenging style norms.

The Best Pearl Necklace Length

The length of a pearl necklace can significantly impact its overall look. Match your necklace length to the occasion and your neckline.

For strapless tops, you can choose a short pearl choker or a long rope necklace. A tiny pearl choker with a strapless blouse and an updo can elongate your neck. This look works for casual occasions too. A rope necklace adds drama for special events.

If you’re uncertain about the length, stick to the classic princess length. A princess pearl necklace complements most necklines and stays out of the way during most activities.

For versatility, consider a pearl pendant instead of a pearl strand. It’s easier to find a pearl pendant that suits your style. Choose a pendant where the pearl is part of a larger design for a modern look, or a simple chain where the pearl is the star for a classic look.
