Oversized pearls (think 12mm+）can feel jarring in everyday office environments. Save them for formal events—opt for 6-8mm pearls for daily wear to keep things polished, not overpowering.
Less is more. Stacking a pearl necklace, bracelet, earrings, and a ring can look cluttered. Stick to 2-3 pieces max (e.g., earrings + necklace, or bracelet + studs) to maintain a sleek professional vibe.
Pearls should complement your skin, not clash. Cool undertones? Silver-hued pearls (Akoya) work best. Warm undertones? Creamy white or golden pearls shine. Not sure? Try a virtual try-on or consult a stylist.
A loose pearl in a necklace or bracelet is a recipe for loss. Once a month, gently tug on your pearl jewelry to check for weak knots. If you spot any, take it to a jeweler for restringing—better safe than sorry.
Pearls and sweatpants don’t mix. While pearls can work with casual pieces (like a silk blouse and jeans), avoid pairing them with overly relaxed items (think hoodies or athletic wear). Keep the look balanced.
