The Ultimate Accessory – from Chic to Casual

Every woman knows that a pair of pearl earrings and a pearl necklace can complete her outfit, but pearl bracelets usually get left behind as an accessory only for the rich and famous. However, there is no outfit that couldn’t benefit from the addition of a pearl bracelet. From multiple strands to a single one, from high fashion black-tie to a casual jeans-and-tee combo, a pearl bracelet is the ultimate accessory.

Sometimes the idea of pearls evokes the image of a sweater twinset that your grandma loved to wear to church – not anymore. Today’s pearl fashions are funky and fabulous, bringing vintage flair to seasonal trends. From black pearls to freshwater varieties in different shapes and sizes, pearls are no longer relegated to your grandma’s jewelry box.

If you’re more of a casual gal, try a multiple strand pearl bracelet with your next jeans and t-shirt ensemble. Want to look a little more streamlined? Add a cuffed, fitted blazer to your look and you’ll be sure to turn heads everywhere you go.

Going out for a night on the town? A single strand pearl bracelet can be the perfect finishing touch to your LBD, which will look just as good resting on the bar as it will dancing the night away with your friends on the dance floor.

Obviously, a pearl bracelet is the perfect accessory for your wedding bouquet as well. Bring an extra level of class and sophistication to your wedding-white ensemble with a single strand bracelet complete with a diamond or silver clasp.

Want to go for a little more punk rock look? Mix and match your pearl strands with metal chains and leather bands for a look that’s reminiscent of high fashion glossy pages, and you’ll leave people wondering whether your personality matches your sense-of-mystery outfit.

No matter what you’re wearing, you don’t have to reserve your pearl bracelets to only be worn with matching earrings and a necklace. Instead, pair your pearl bracelet with jewelry that you love that coordinates without looking too matchy– it will give your outfit flair without looking dated and old-fashioned.

From leather pants to a flowing skirt to your favorite pair of jeans, a pearl bracelet can complete your outfit in a way that no other accessory can. Long gone are the days when pearls were reserved for old ladies and retired movie stars (hello Audrey Hepburn!); with today’s fashions, you’re sure to find something that fits your personal style. Channel your inner movie star and get your glamour on with a timeless and classic pearl bracelet.
