Revered since antiquity, pearls have long been in fashion. Valued by royalty above any other gem in 19^th century Europe, the pearl is a symbol of purity and power. Coco Chanel was never seen without her pearls, sporting them as earrings, a choker, a single strand or a cascade, matching them with her timeless fashion apparel. Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn, the most elegant stars of cinema, dressed in pearls frequently. Princess Diana adored pearl chokers. Although they became outdated in the 1990’s, they have now come back into favor and contemporary jewelry designers are breathing new life into them through resolutely modern designs.

No longer associated with grandmom’s jewelry box, pearl wearers are getting younger, and paired outfits- more alluring. This perfect organic gem has found the likes of modern day celebrities like Michelle Obama, Angelina Jolie among others. At the Milan fashion week of 2016, single pearl studs found a highlight moment, dragging the beloved “pearl” back to our wardrobes.

We have 7 stunning ideas to make pearls a part of your daily wardrobe- rock them in a brunch all the way to the evening cocktail with these simple techniques.

 

1. Dazzle up your denims

Now that they’re taken out of their classic ladylike element, pearls can be easily paired with your daily denims. Casually sport them as studs on your earlobes for a glam look or wear a pearl necklace with a casual top for lunch. Don’t hold back. Pearls work just as well with dressy black jeans, heels and a silk blouse as they do with cut offs and a casual t-shirt. Create your own look and experiment with denim shirts and jackets. Accessorizing with a strand of pearls will add instant oomph to your otherwise incomplete outfit.
