Romantic, elegant, by the sea. A material for everything. Materiality with meaning.
Pearl jewellery is always having a moment, so we’re taking the opportunity to pause, reflect, celebrate her beauty and select a few of our faves. Go deep under the waves with us.
Why we love pearl jewellery
These are not *just* your nanna’s pearls. The style has come a long way since then – when wrapping multi-layered strands around the neck or clasping a delicate pearl choker was the epitome of glam. Everything perfect, with no hair out of place.
And here lies the true beauty of the pearl – timeless and elegant yet so multi-functional.
While we love our vintage pearl heirlooms, there’s nothing like a reimagination for the modern age. We prefer keshi pearls for their unique nature and absolute individuality. No two look exactly alike, each marked with personal glimmers and indentations.
We want our jewellery to be markers of the intricate selves we are.
For date night, work, lounging at home or lazing by the beach, we choose pearls. Nearly every day.
What do pearls symbolise?
A few of our favourite things:
Wisdom. Because we could do with some of that every day. Forever learning and growing – with our pearls alongside us.
Natural Energy.A world wonder as pearls naturally form in oysters and mussels. The depths of the earth and the ocean working hard to offer so much beauty and mystery. That extra alluring touch.
Timeless Beauty.Transcending all eras and -cores, pearls have been linked to beauty for centuries (even back to ancient times).
How to wear pearl jewellery
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again – there are no rules. But if you need a little pep talk to start your journey, here are our four hot tips for nailing the look.
-
Mix metals.You know we love intertwining silver and gold whenever we get the chance, so take this advice and apply it to pearl jewellery, too. Pair your chic pearls with gold or silver, whether it’s chunky or fine, to accentuate the natural beauty.
-
Designate pearls as ‘everyday’ pieces.Because we’re not exclusive when it comes to our jewellery, we love wearing our pearls on the daily. At work, you’ll spy us with a couple of pearl chokers clasped around our necks or subtle pearl drop earrings dangling from the lobes. Every occasion (and non-occasion) feels a little more special.
-
Layer, honey. Start a party around your neck, layering multiple strands of pearls and metals (in the modern way). Instantly elevate your look and add a personal touch, despite the uniform or strict dress code.
-
Nail every aesthetic.Scrolling through the trends of 2024, one thing is abundantly clear: pearls maketh them all. Whether mermaidcore, cottagecore, quiet luxury or coastal cowgirl, pearl jewellery is a through-line that satisfies each. If that’s not a sign of timelessness, what is?
Our favourite pearl styles
Dive in head-first, reaching for a pearl necklace before anything else. For the ultimate statement, opt for the Keshi Pearl Strand Necklace, a piece that stands on her own – no explanation, no other accoutrements required. We love her best with an evening look, shoulders on show. As an everyday alternative, the Veronica Pearl Choker offers a petite, dainty aesthetic, making her ideal for the workplace (and everywhere else). Or put your full self on show with Birthstone Necklaces, merging the deeply personal with a classic style. A pop of colour, too, to seal the deal.
For your ears, the Mini Keshi Pearl Earrings are our forever go-to. Now waterproof as well, they’ll sit pretty all season long as you dip and dunk, then cosy up with an afternoon spritz.
Finish your collection with a little extra for your wrist. The Tana Bracelet celebrates the classic beauty of freshwater pearls, delicately strung on a gold chain – a piece you won’t take your eyes off as you type and tap away.
