The history of fashionable and stylish earrings with pearls

In ancient times and in the Mid­dle Ages, wear­ing ear­rings with white nat­ur­al pearls and a neck­lace around the neck every day was con­sid­ered a reli­able amulet against unhap­py love. To this day, Old Believ­ers say that these orna­ments are close­ly relat­ed to the moon. Due to their unique appear­ance, pearls are a sym­bol of striv­ing for per­fec­tion. Many peo­ple believe that prod­ucts made from it should not be bor­rowed or bor­rowed. They have some­thing so secret that they can­not be trans­ferred into oth­er hands.

Pre­vi­ous­ly, nat­ur­al pearls were asso­ci­at­ed with wealth and high social sta­tus, and were a sym­bol of ele­gance. Its high price did not allow an ordi­nary woman to have fash­ion­able ear­rings with pearls, although many dreamed of them. They were worn by Mar­garet Thatch­er and Audrey Hep­burn.

The fash­ion for these acces­sories was intro­duced in the 20th cen­tu­ry by the French fash­ion design­er Coco Chanel. She wore them with tweed suits and short jack­ets. At the time, women acces­sorized their cas­kets with strings of pearls and wore them with low-waist­ed dress­es.

In the 1950s and 1960s, this acces­so­ry was paired with a lit­tle black dress and Dior-style cre­ations. It is enough to recall the scene with Audrey Hep­burn, who com­bined ele­gant jew­el­ry with jew­el­ry from the Givenchy brand.

So pearls came to sym­bol­ize lux­u­ry, time­less, it was often cho­sen by rep­re­sen­ta­tives of the influ­en­tial elite. Thanks to Gabrielle Chanel, who pop­u­lar­ized the fash­ion for jew­el­ry, to this day all women can wear them, regard­less of their social sta­tus.

Today, pearls take the most diverse forms, which can be seen at fash­ion shows of the house of Chanel. It is used in neck­laces, ear­rings, brooches, rings, and some­times even in ankle bracelets or in appliqués that dec­o­rate the heel.

Over the years, these pieces have been worn by style icons such as Jack­ie Kennedy, Kate Mid­dle­ton and Michelle Oba­ma.

In the fall of 2017, pearls appeared on sweaters, jeans and acces­sories such as berets or hand­bags on a chain. Fash­ion blog­gers inter­pret­ed this trend in dif­fer­ent ways — as a com­bi­na­tion of ele­gance with care­less­ness, time­less style and the lat­est trends.

In 2018, large arti­fi­cial pearls are also in fash­ion — spec­tac­u­lar two-sided mod­els, as well as min­i­mal­ist stud ear­rings in a vin­tage style.

The most pop­u­lar shades:

• white,
• sil­ver,
• Cham­pagne,
• dark gold,
• laven­der (lilac),
• peach (ivory),
• black,
• pink,
• cream (beige),
• dark gar­net.

Pearl pous­settes can instant­ly trans­form even a strict busi­ness out­fit con­sist­ing of chi­nos and a smooth blouse with long sleeves and a shal­low neck­line. A blouse made of silk or its imi­ta­tion will define the style, which can be empha­sized with the help of a neck­lace made of white pearls. Choose a jack­et with a clas­sic cut and suede shoes with a round toe — and an ele­gant glossy image is ready!
