By now, we all know that pearls are no longer just for your grandma’s jewelry box. From red carpet appearances (hi, Keke Palmer’s Met Gala pearl manicure) to runway collections by Simone Rocha and Dior, pearls are back—and they’re cooler than ever.

But forget the polished, symmetrical strands of the past. The new pearl look is a little messy, a little mixed, and a whole lot more wearable. Think: chunky chains, baroque textures, and asymmetry that feels intentional—not accidental.

Here are the four pieces we’re loving right now, and how to style them like you didn’t even try (but still look like that girl).

1. The Layered Look That Feels Effortless

This is the necklace equivalent of a curated Instagram feed: perfectly imperfect. Layered chains meet floating freshwater pearls and a standout drop pendant that feels more “art school cool” than traditional.
Wear it with: a plunging neckline or ribbed tank top. And yes, it works just as well over a bikini.

2. Asymmetry Is the New Symmetry

The most interesting people in the room never follow the rules—neither should your jewelry. This bold pearl-and-chain necklace plays with texture and proportion in all the right ways.
Try it with: your favorite black dress and a red lip for a gallery opening–level vibe.

3. The Heart Pendant Everyone’s Saving on Pinterest

A sculpted gold heart, linked with a mix of pearls and chain? Yes, please. This piece feels like something you'd find at a Paris flea market—except it's water-resistant and made to last.
Pro tip: It layers beautifully with minimal gold chokers.

4. Bracelets Are Getting the Pearl Treatment Too

Half pearl, half chain, all attitude. The chunky-gold-meets-soft-lustre combo is officially 2025’s wrist obsession.
Stack it with: other gold bangles or keep it solo for a cleaner look.

Bottom line?

Pearls in 2025 are less “ladylike” and more “main character.” Whether you're dressing up or just heading to get coffee, this trend is all about embracing contradiction: soft + bold, vintage + edgy, natural + designed.

And the best part? Many of these pieces are made to be waterproof, hypoallergenic, and tarnish-resistant—so you can actually live in them.
