My love for pearls runs deep. First and foremost my Nana’s middle name was Pearl, her mother’s name was Pearl, and now my daughter’s middle name is Pearl - alongside another one of my favourite names Isla (which comes from my other grandmother’s name just with a Scottish twist as an ode to my husband’s family). The other reason I love them? The classic elegance that they exude. In fact, I’d probably choose them over diamonds if I had to pick my favourite (gasp! don’t tell my husband - I don’t want to plant any seeds). Thing is they are so pretty that it’s easy to talk yourself out of wearing them everyday. The good news is I don’t live by the belief of saving good things for special occasions. From t-shirts to weddings, I always have them on. Whether it’s my go-to everyday pair of earrings, or the Mother’s Day gift that caught me off guard a few years ago (note: upside of having a spouse who waits until the 11th hour to purchase gifts means he usually defaults to stores who also provide gift wrapping - ha ha ha) in the form of this necklace that replicates the one my Nana always wore - well, they are a staple for me.
Tip for wearing them everyday? Just wear them without over thinking it. Seriously, it’s just that easy. But if you feel like they are a little much (not words in my daily vocabulary), I’ve linked a few pieces that incorporate them as the supporting role. If you’re into main character energy, I’ve also linked my daily go-to’s that stand the test of time - and all style eras.
Here are a few of my top picks:
