These Statement Pearl Earrings Are Nothing Like Your Grandmother’s

But we bet she’d approve.

The Girl with a Pearl Earring, your grandmother’s pearls, the multi-tiered pearl necklace synonymous with Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s…pearl jewellery as most of us know it, is assosciated with a certain sense of preciousness and sentimental value. It’s not necessarily the stuff you throw on before you head out the door on the daily. Typically, pearl jewellery only sees the light of the day when you have somewhere to be or someone to impress. Otherwise, it sits pretty in the boudoir for the most part.

We can’t quite say the same, however, for modern renditions of pearl acquisitions. Late last year, fashion darling Harry Styles made the headlines for stepping out in pearl necklaces and earrings. Gigi Hadid, too, has been photographed in super casual t-shirt ensembles accessorised with an assortment of pearl jewellery.

It’s been made official: pearls are no longer just reserved for dressy eveningwear pairings. They work just as well as touches of details that can instantly take uplift your bikini look from meh to yeah. Also, don’t you think it’s due time you fill our jewellery boxes with alternatives other than puka shells every time summer rolls around?
