Modern Mix With Pearls

With Grace Kelly adorning the current cover of Vanity Fair and fashion heading back to the classics, there's no better time then to work a stylish staple like pearls back into your wardrobe. Revisit these gems with a modern mix by layering up with other stones and baubles and pair up in unexpected ways for a current trend-on look. Whether it be a chunky pearl bracelet stacked with an oversize watch and a few equally chic bracelets, or the must-have statement mix-material pearl necklace worn during the day with simple separates. This classic is very right now! Here are a few examples on how to approach these classic baubles with a modern mix in mind.

Make all black even more chic with the addition of a chunky statement pearl necklace. A great piece that will work well from day to night. A great alternative is to layer up 3 or so pearl necklaces for the same effect.
