Dear readers and style enthusiasts, welcome to a world where fashion oscillates between the punk rock of Vivienne Westwood and the chic classicism of Chanel. Today, we shine a spotlight on the accessory that has made a grand comeback and is making fashion lovers' hearts beat faster: the pearl necklace. Yes, here it is, the trendiest necklace of the moment.
A Strong Return of Nostalgia
The hottest trends are constantly swayed by a gentle breeze of nostalgia, and the pearl necklace keeps making its comeback. It evokes the glamour of the "old world" and the Hollywood sparkle of the 1930s. Style icons such as the famous YouTuber Léna Situations, models Gigi Hadid and Sora Choi, as well as the late British fashion queen, Vivienne Westwood, and even Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II have all adopted it. It's time to silence the skeptics, because pearl necklaces, classic or whimsical, are establishing themselves as the must-have jewelry trend. Actress Cate Blanchett even confirmed it on the BAFTAs red carpet. Goodbye to the image of the pearl necklace reserved for grandmothers from the 16th arrondissement of Paris. Pearl necklaces are taking over the fashion world, ready to dethrone silver and gold necklaces. This piece of jewelry is becoming a timeless classic, whether you prefer to collect designer pearls or create them yourself. One thing is certain: nothing can stop the pearl wave (the trendiest there is)!
From Queens to It Girls: The Pearl's Journey
Pearl necklaces have always topped the list of essential jewelry. Initially worn by queens and princesses worldwide, they established themselves in royal courts. Fortunately, royalty did not keep the exclusivity of tiaras, which is a boon for fashion. This piece of jewelry became a style staple from the early 20th century, thanks to Maison Chanel, before being adopted by the iconic Vivienne Westwood brand. Thus, a legendary piece of jewelry was born, long before becoming the favorite accessory of everyone's beloved fictional it-girl, Carrie Bradshaw. Whether worn as a sautoir, choker, or close to the neck, composed of white mother-of-pearl or multicolored pearls, the pearl necklace has followed trends while preserving its aura. That's elegance.
The Unwavering Popularity of Pearls
The growing popularity of this piece of jewelry can be explained by its slightly less flashy charm than chunky gold chains, its versatility which goes with almost any outfit, and its playful side, much more so than silver jewelry. Fashion runways and front-rows are snatching up this piece of jewelry, which can be paired with anything. Some prefer to create their own colorful pearl necklaces, small or large, playing with original colors and shapes, like a return to childhood in pasta necklace workshops. Others opt for pearl sets to break up a more casual look. One thing is certain: this "pearlcore" trend has won over fashion enthusiasts, and it's not going away anytime soon.
