Embracing Your Pearls As They Are
The craze for pearls is more than ever; gone are the days when only perfectly round pearls circulated. Fashionistas today are embracing the variety of natural pearls, from the sleek baroque to vertical lines and curved shapes.
Round pearls, in and of themselves, feel a bit dated now. Instead, mix things up by adding a variety of pearls that reflect the unique beauty of each gemstone.
Golden South Sea Pearls NZ, with their organic shapes, are particularly fashionable, and create an avant-garde vibe that’s hard to resist.
Choose a Sleek Single String
Once a fashion staple of the 20th century, pearl necklaces with lots of metal can now feel a bit dated. Opt for soft, one-piece dresses and bring a pearl necklace into the modern era. Look for small freshwater crystals or continuous lines with a mixture of crystals for simultaneous diffraction. Experiment with different textures and patterns, such as adding small freshwater pearls to one large Baroque pearl for dramatic contrast.
Everyone Loves a Modern Touch
Pearls shine brighter when paired with modern designs. Look for styles that deviate from traditional pearl jewellery, such as lariat necklaces, hoop earrings, mixed texture drop earrings or acceptable contemporary dresses to create a fresh, youthful pearl appeal that matches any outfit.
Mix metals and minerals
Gone are the days of jewellery focused solely on independence. Today, mixing metals and minerals is not only acceptable, but encouraged.
For a modern twist use pearls and other accents such as gold and silver rhinestones and precious stones. Experiment with different textures and colours to create visually appealing pieces that reflect your unique style.
Dare to wear colourful pearls
