A Modern Way of Wearing Pearl Jewellery

Women of the past would make pearls the sole feature of their jewellery look. Their continuous rows of pearls and studs would hide the backing metal and wouldn’t feature any other type of gem.

Nowadays mixed metals and gems are not only acceptable, they’re encouraged. Pearls can be the main feature of your jewellery, but choosing styles with other accents adds in an unexpected twist. A mixture of textures creates a richer and more visually interesting look, which exudes modernity.

Your mixed look can be as simple as a pearl pendant on a gold chain, or an earring featuring both pearls and crystal gemstones. Match gemstone and pearl colours to create a cohesive feel, such as white pearls and white topaz. If you’re working with a solid pearl piece, you can bring in more texture by layering and stacking other pieces of gemstone or metal jewellery.
