Listen, we love our diamonds. They’re sparkly, they’re beautiful, and they’re just plain perfect for any occasion! But even we can admit that there’s another gem that every brilliant babe needs in her collection… Pearls!
I know what you’re thinking “Pearls are so 1950s” right? Not true!
These classic beauties are far from outdated. So, let me introduce you to your new fave!
Trend Showdown Old vs. New
If when you think of pearls, old movies or a dusty velvet box in your grandma’s attic come to mind, we don’t blame you!
Since pearls used to be so darn expensive, you were expected to go with a timeless style that would last for years. That means most of us are used to seeing pearls that were purchased 30, 40, even 50 years ago! So, of course we started to think that only sophisticated older women wore them!
Today, we’re taking the trend back! A classic string of pearls or a pair of studs are still a 10/10, but you can have more fun.
Modern pearls are able to create interesting, versatile pieces that can be dressed up or down in the blink of an eye – all without losing the special, timeless quality! Check out this stunning bracelet and these clover earrings.
Wedding Day Bliss
Don’t worry, we’re never going to stop talking up diamonds as a top pick for wedding jewels. But we also know they can be overwhelming for a brand new bride-to-be.
That’s why pearls are a perfect way to make sure all eyes are on you without as much in-your-face glitter.
Here are some things to consider if you think you might be more of a pearly girl:
- Is your dress the star?: You picked out the wedding dress of your dreams, so let it have its moment to shine. Pearly jewels help draw attention to your dress without fighting for the spotlight.
- They’re versatile!: Diamonds go with every occasion, but there’s something to be said about how easily pearls go with both beachy or boho and glamorous weddings.
- They’re not overwhelming!: Listen, some girls just naturally want the glamour of being decked out in diamonds. But if that’s not you, that’s okay! If diamonds feel like just a little much sometimes when you’re already going to have all eyes on you, pearls can help you feel fabulous and comfortable with all the attention!
- You can still have your stones!: Let’s not forget that pearls go with everything. Lace, silk…and diamonds! You can mix your gems for a unique look that’s all you!
The gorgeous circle pendant pearl necklace and the lariat pearl necklace would be stunning on your wedding day!
