When you think of pearls, you may think of Nancy Pelosi’s “power pearls,” the stud earrings your grandmother passed down to your mom, or the small pearl necklaces celebs wore on red carpets in the early ’90s. Like diamonds and other precious gems, pearls stand the test of time. But there are other ways to style them to make them feel less, well, traditional.
Over the past couple of years, pearls have become cool again. But these aren’t anything like your grandmother’s. This season, organic pearls and pearls paired with gold chains offer a modern yet feminine look. Celebrities like Dua Lipa, Harry Styles, Gigi Hadid and more are rocking them. And every brand from Gucci and Mejuri to Gorjana and BaubleBar is stocking pearl earrings, bracelets, necklaces and rings.
Pearls don’t have to be so serious. Take a look below at some of the best pearl-adorned jewelry to wear this season, ranked from least to most expensive.
