I am thrilled that today we don’t ask whether we are going to wear pearl jewelry or not. We do not have doubts that pearl jewelry in 2018 is in favor. Thus, we wonder which type of it will be more popular. I am happy to regularly come across the news that pearl jewelry is more and more in demand . It has become a trend. This is a great achievement. Because, eventually, pearl jewelry has re-gained its esteem and popularity.
A few years ago, we have started speaking about re-invention or even “renaissance” of pearl jewelry. We do remember that earlier, pearls were dubbed “grandma’s” jewelry. Who would want to wear something that is out of fashion and boring? Luckily, the situation has changed. Actually, today, many talented jewelry designers work with pearls creating amazing contemporary pieces.
Pearl jewelry has always been a favorite of the rich and famous, of high nobility. Nothing has changed. Elegant women belonging to royal families continue wearing pearl jewelry. I would mention an astounding fact. Women enjoy wearing pearls that are not only classic. Along with the classic pieces, contemporary women are looking for modern pearl jewelry as well. Like Kate Middleton and Princess Victoria of Sweden. They are both wearing modern pearl jewelry. They choose pearl earrings made of big baroque pearls and pearl bracelets.
Runways collections in 2018 also feature a lot of pearls. Not only in pieces of jewelry. But pearls are abundantly used to embellish the clothing or the accessories creating a bold look.
What pearl jewelry do we prefer?
What about the consumers? If you come to any jewelry store, you will surely find pearl jewelry. However, often jewelry boutiques don’t offer much choice . You will see only traditional pearl jewelry. You will not spot contemporary, original, and diverse jewelry pieces nor new varieties of pearls. Although, they are amazingly fresh, beautiful, and appealing. Of course, there are always people for whom pearls are round white small glowing orbs. They are looking for perfectly round pearls. And, indeed, these pearls are beautiful. On the other hand, others are bored of perfection, tradition, and similarity. And they prefer originality, creativity, and innovation. Then, designer pearl jewelry comes in because it is one-of-a-kind and fresh.
Pearl jewelry in 2018 offers choices for everyone. Jewelers offer the diversity of pearls. You may find more and more freshwater pearls of the most improbable colors . Often, our customers don’t believe that pearls may have exotic colors. For instance, purple and bronze, orange and green… You name it. Moreover, the pearl sizes may be very different. If you want to go big, you will find big pearls. Definitely, this pearl jewelry will make a statement.
More than this. One of the fashion trends today is to mix and match and to layer. Open your jewelry box to check which pearl jewelry you already have. Do you have a traditional strand of small round white pearls? Probably these are Japanese akoya pearls. And you have got from your mother or grand-mother. It is a memory for you. Instead of neglecting it, wear it. Or, we may modernize this classic pearl necklace. We may re-designing it, for instance, just attaching a modern clasp. Or you may prefer to add a pearl pendant or a charm to your classic white pearl necklace. As a result, you will get a different look- stylish and unique. At the same time, you will keep your pearls that are dear for you.
What else makes pearl jewelry in 2018 so attractive? Its versatility. We play with the pearls creating different looks for various occasions. You may easily upgrade a necklace worn to the office. Just embellish it with a pearl pendant. Or, add chains or other necklaces layering them. Then, your look will be changed completely. Do not forget about the power of accessories. As pearl jewelry is a wonderful accessory.
