pearl jewelry

With winter almost here, now's your chance to make any outfit look classy. And what better way than with jewelry? If you're bored of the same old winter accessories, why not give your collection a glamorous upgrade with beautiful pearls? 

From chic pearl earrings to fashionable layered necklaces, we've rounded up the top 10 pearl pieces. No woman can do without these next few months. These designs are both refined and versatile – perfect for cozy nights or glitzy festive parties. 

Don't think pearls can't be worn after dark: ours seem made for winter! Let them elevate all your seasonal staples in style (even when it is chilly!).

Every item on our list has been carefully chosen to add a little bit of icy elegance to your wardrobe this year. So, let's dive in!

1. Single-Strand Pearl Necklace

A single-strand pearl necklace is always stylish. It goes with everything and makes all your outfits look nicer – especially if you wear it with a winter jumper! 

Picture soft wool or cashmere in ivory, beige, or dark grey…and then add this necklace. Wow! You’ll feel warm but look cool at the same time.

An amazing thing about pearls is how well they show up in different colors. If you want an elegant (but subtle) daytime style, why not try wearing yours with shades of cream, black or grey? 

For some extra sparkle, layering necklaces can be fun. Mix chunky chains with thin ones, plus pendants as long or short as you like!

2. Multi-Strand Pearl Necklace

For those times when you really want all eyes on you, nothing beats a multi-strand pearl necklace. It’s the kind of jewelry that makes a statement. Layered to add texture and interest to any outfit, it looks fantastic with evening wear and is just the thing for seasonal soirees.

There’s something about these pearls that feels both up-to-date and as if you could have inherited them from your grandmother. Maybe the way they cascade down? 

Style writers often suggest that women should contrast the femininity of pearls with very plain clothes. Angela Merkel does this by matching a strand with one of her trademark jackets. 

Our advice is different. We think they look brilliant in winter colors (or lack of colors), especially snowy shades such as cream or white.

Above all, don’t save them for the “best.” Try yours with jeans and a buttoned-up shirt, or loop them around several times for a bracelet. You might just be surprised at how versatile these beads can be.

3. Pearl Choker for a Modern Look

If you want jewelry that is both elegant and daring, look no further than a pearl choker. Although pearls have long been associated with sophistication, this design gives them an up-to-date edge. Wear this close-fitting necklace on a winter evening, and you will appear stylish and youthful. 

One of the best things about chokers made from pearls is how flexible they are. Eye-catching yet not too showy, they appeal to women who like to be noticed for all the right reasons. 

Another plus point during the colder months is its snug fit. It means it sits neatly under your scarf or jumper, drawing attention to your neck area.

Why not team an off-the-shoulder sweater or dress with one of these chokers? They will set off delicate collarbones beautifully.

Equally impressive is the way colors pop when set against paleness. So how about deep emerald green, burgundy red... even midnight blue? You’ll stand out from the crowd for sure.

And don’t think this type of jewelry is only suitable for formal occasions. Picture how amazing that combo would look if you were having dinner with friends in a cozy pub.

4. Statement Pearl Earrings

When you want to instantly make your winter wardrobe more glamorous, consider statement pearl earrings. Whether they are large studs or dangling designs, these earrings can add elegance and luxury. Perfect for this time of year. 

Picture how pearls catch the light at a dinner party or Christmas. Their glow will make any outfit feel special with just the right amount of sparkle.

Hairstyles that work well with these earrings include slick buns and low ponytails. Both show off the pearls against your face.

 On the other hand, if your look is more casual, wearing such fabulous jewels creates an interesting juxtaposition. Think loose waves or a messy bun.

Are you getting dressed up for a night out or wanting to jazz up everyday clothes? Don’t underestimate what a difference wearing statement pearl earrings can make!

5. Classic Pearl Studs for Everyday Wear

Pearl studs epitomize timeless simplicity. They offer an understated touch of class perfect for daily winter wear — from a cozy sweater to chic work attire. These small but striking earrings make any outfit shine.

With pearl studs, there is no need for flashiness if you want to feel elegant! They have a unique ability to look sophisticated in every setting without drawing attention away from your overall look. Whether it’s cold outside or warm inside, they bring charm wherever.

Top tip: There's nothing stopping one from wearing more pearls when they are already donning some nice ones. For example, why not try teaming up them alongside an elegant single-strand necklace?

Or perhaps consider matching them with a pretty bracelet. Both options will give a coordinated finish that feels polished yet relaxed. It enables the wearer to add a touch of class to each day throughout this season.

6. Pearl Bracelet for Subtle Elegance

Capture understated sophistication with a single-strand pearl bracelet. Its dainty beauty makes it an ideal accessory for winter looks.

Wear yours with snug sweaters and tops with long sleeves to add classic charm without overshadowing your outfit. Picture pearls alongside chunky knits or peeking out beneath tailored sleeves. Their soft sheen will not go unnoticed.

Stack them up with silver bangles and gold metallic styles for an on-trend twist that also feels current. You’ll have created something new from pieces that are predominantly old. 

This kind of mix is great when you want to play with texture or add interest to an outfit. Here, each item will do just enough (but not too much) work per wrist.

Whether worn alone or as part of a group, there is no doubt these bracelets deserve a place in every jewelry box. They bring femininity, warmth, and neatness, as well as being quite versatile!

7. Pearl Bangle for a Unique Twist

For a fresh spin on timeless pearl jewelry, consider a contemporary pearl bangle. Unlike traditional pearl bracelets or necklaces, this piece is sleek with modern flair. Perfect if you like classic styles but want something edgier. 

The contrast of hard metal and soft pearls makes it chic (and versatile, too). Wear one or stack ’em with other bangles.

Top tip: Team your new purchase with chunky knits or tailored jackets to stop it from looking too ladylike. Pearls plus winter textures? Yes, please! 

A cable-knit jumper looks fab with an armful of bangles, and so does a sharp blazer over the dress. You can even wear them camping… In essence, don’t pack those pearls away after party season ends!

8. Eye-Catching Pearl Ring

When it’s cold out, a pearl ring has that special something to make your outfit pop. There are loads of styles available. Some rings have one pearl on them (very chic), while others also boast different gems and several pearls. 

What they all share is charm. They manage to feel luxurious but not show-offy.

A pearl ring will up the glamour quotient of anything you wear with it this winter. As you move, light will dance off the surface of the pearls, drawing attention to your hands.

Do you want some advice on how best to wear one? Try this for size: keep things ultra-minimalistic by teaming a single-pearl ring with no other jewelry. It will look fantastic all by itself.

One day, you might feel like doing things differently. On those days, consider putting multiple rings on one finger and mixing metals together. It sounds mad, but it looks really good!

9. Pearl Drop Necklace for Elegant Length

During winter, when you’re wearing lots of layers and clothes to keep warm, a pearl drop necklace can be the perfect accessory. It’s stylish and graceful. And because it hangs down, it helps to make you look longer and more elegant, too.

Here’s an idea: wear it over your favorite cozy jumper. You’ll feel instantly smarter (perfect if there’s a video call) without losing any of that snuggly feeling. 

And what if there is an event later on? Just swap the jumper for a dress; the necklace works with those, too. With its beautiful teardrop pearl, this necklace looks fantastic with V-necks. Why? Because they draw attention to the pendant.

10. Vintage Pearl Brooch for a Nostalgic Touch

If you're looking to add a touch of nostalgia to your winter wardrobe, why not invest in a vintage pearl brooch? This classic accessory is making a big comeback. And it looks fantastic with all those cold-weather staples such as hats, scarves, and coats. 

There’s something quite special about teaming a delicate brooch with a wool coat or wrapping it around yourself. It gives outfits an instant uplift by injecting a dose of glamour from days gone by. But it is making this feel current, too.

Here are some ideas for wearing them differently. Try pinning one onto a beanie hat chic finish or strap of your go-to handbag for a vintage twist. 

Don’t think one is enough? Group a few together. They really pack a sartorial punch! Whether styled in ways or traditionally beautiful, the item will always make whatever you have it on feel cozy and warm inside.
