The One Pearled Earring Trend

This trend might not be for everyone, but it certainly adds character and personality to your outfit. 2019 saw mismatched earrings making an appearance, and this year, the trend is taken even further. One earring is completely dropped, while the remaining one becomes as dramatic as possible. Earrings range from oversized hoops to geometric shapes, colorful tassels, and intricate designs.

Pearls are also high in this fashion trend. Whether it is an oversized pearl, drooping from the ear, or a set, delicately dropped onto the shoulder; pearls are a great accent to define one side of the face. Make sure you remember, if you have long hair, to accent the other side of your face with a strand or, even, set all of your hair to the non-earring side to add volume.

The Simple Pearl Necklace

It’s almost as if the roaring twenties have just decided to repeat themselves a century on. Why not celebrate this by buying a few strings of simple pearl necklaces. As Jackie Kennedy said; “Pearls are always appropriate” and there are very few outfit combinations that you can go wrong by pairing with a string of pearls. But, how do you wear them?

A simple, casual outfit can be matched with a single, simple string of pearls. If you are adding this to a jersey, shirt, or t-shirt combination less is more. If you are swapping out the long pants, leggings, and jeans for a skirt or dress, you can start adding string on top of each other for a fuller, more elegant look. You can choose either length or volume to add more drama to the outfit, making sure you match the pearl color to the shades that you have chosen. Longer, more solid-colored outfits can be broken with long dropped pearls, or you can double them up at different lengths to break monotonous colors.

Linked Bracelets Pearl Jewelry Trends

Our favorite bracelets are back on the scene and are even better than ever. 2020 has seen the return of the linked bracelet with the addition of quirky charms dangling off the arm. The predominant color of the bracelets this year is gold, which offsets a pearl white charm perfectly. What is great about this trend is that you can choose simple links, size to your preference, and add as many additions as you like.

When Should You Wear A Pearl Necklace?

People have been fascinated with pearls since the first day they were discovered.

Their uniqueness among other gemstones comes from the fact that they are found in the sea; rather than arising from the depths of the earth like other types of gemstones.

Pearls have been worn throughout history since the earliest times of civilization and date back to 520 BC. In the past, the use of pearls was exclusive to medieval European princesses and other wealthy aristocratic women for their symbolic power and value. Historical shreds of evidence show that men also enjoyed flaunting their pearls, especially during the pearl age in England as a portrayal of authority and wealth.

Fortunately, this lustrous beauty isn’t too precious for the average woman in our modern-day. Yet many women might feel confused about how and when they can wear their pearls. The obvious answer to this question should be all day every day.

So, we have put together a brief guide on how you can practice your love for your pearls and wear them freely without worrying about being too extra.

Wear Pearl Jewelry During Office Hours

Wearing your favorite pearl necklace every day to work seems like a dream many of us can’t achieve. However, if your 9 to 5 office job requires that you wear formal business attire, you can make this dream come true with some simple tips that can be taken into consideration. As experts say, it’s not at all difficult to do as some pearl accessories, such as a pair of plain white pearl earrings, can easily match almost any formal outfit. If you wear suits or formal jackets and trousers; then you can complement your blouse with a shorter and a single-strand white pearl necklace.

The color of your necklace, however, should be chosen carefully to add the perfect finishing touch to your dress. If you are thinking about choosing one of the necklaces that are currently in fashion, such as massive chunky chockers, then your gown should be understated.
