Pearls are back. From pearly nail designs to pearl-encrusted accessories, the natural gemstone is experiencing a revival in 2022.
While the timeless pearl is frequently worn on the red carpet, this year the gem is woven daily. Worn by A $ AP Rocky, Zendaya and Harry Styles, the pearl takes on a younger look thanks to its contemporary reinvention in jewelry. If you’re looking to jump into the “pearlcore” trend yourself, consider revisiting the gemstone in these edgy necklace designs.
Modern Links
Contrasting the timeless glamor of pearls with a more modern and edgy look is one way to incorporate the gem into everyday clothing. This necklace from Tiffany’s HardWear collection strikes the perfect balance with bold sterling silver links and a classic freshwater pearl necklace.
Minimalist Pendants
A flashy display of pearls is not for everyone. If you tend to keep your accessories simple, clean, and minimal, a delicate chain and singular statement bead are the perfect way to incorporate the gemstone into your personal style. This simple pearl pendant from Perth jewelers, Linneys, achieves this minimalist look while showcasing the unique natural characteristics of the pearl.
Organic textures
By nature, pearls come in a range of chandeliers and sizes, which means that each pearl is beautifully unique. If unique jewelry, organic shapes, and trendy pendants are your style, then a necklace like this might be for you. Set in a free-form design, this textured pendant showcases the baroque-shaped Australian South Sea pearl in all its glory, enhanced by stunning brilliant-cut diamonds set around the pearl.
Half half
Another accessory trend we’ve seen in our Instagram feeds is the half-necklace design. Creating an elegant juxtaposition between two contrasting colors or materials, the half necklace is a great way to add a new interpretation of pearls to your look. This freshwater pearl and link chain design by Francesca gives you the best of both worlds.
Charm pendants
Along with pearls, fancy pearl jewelry has also made a comeback, with many of us gravitating towards nostalgic fashion. If you are looking for playful or youthful charm pendants in your jewelry, a charming pearl pendant like this could be the perfect addition to your jewelry collection.
