From the vintage glamour of a white multi-strand pearl necklace to the versatility of white pearl stud earrings, white pearl jewellery needs no introduction.
Long symbolic of elegance, grace and sophistication, every jewellery box should have at least one piece of white pearl jewellery.
Whether the vintage glamour of classic pearls is to your taste, or you like a contemporary design that’s as of-the-moment as they come, white pearl jewellery suits all styles, ages, genders and tastes.
Choosing the right white pearl jewellery for you
Create a lasting impression with your white pearl jewellery by choosing a design that best suits your aesthetic.
Pearl necklaces
Classic for a reason, a white pearl necklace should be in every person’s repertoire.
Pearl necklaces come in different lengths, and choosing the right one for you can help you to invest in a piece that you’ll wear time and time again.
A pearl choker ranges from fourteen to seventeen inches in length. They most suit people with slim, long necks, and can soften angular features when worn at the base of the neck. An art-deco inspired design like our white freshwater pearl ‘oval centrepiece’ choker or white freshwater pearl ‘swirl’ choker are both chic enough to wear at your next cocktail party.
Wear a white pearl lariat necklace draped down an evening gown to turn heads. Our white freshwater pearl lariat works well, or add in some darker tones with our black and white freshwater pearl ‘morse code’ lariat instead.
Pearl bracelets
White pearl bracelets afford you the choice of subtlety or impact, depending on how you style them.
Wear a simple design like our white freshwater pearl chain bracelet paired with a matching white freshwater pearl pendant for work.
A classic design like our white biwa pearl single strand bracelet or white seed and freshwater pearl bracelet also both make for excellent gifts.
Maximalists can choose a design like our white freshwater pearl ‘morse code’ bracelet. Spelling out ‘I love you’ in Morse code, this design affords its wearer a ‘little secret’ message directed either towards themselves or a loved one. Alternatively, our opulent white freshwater pearl cuff bracelet is a limited edition design inspired by the strength of warriors. Wear to fortify yourself for an important event.
Pearl earrings
If you’re limited to choosing one piece of white pearl jewellery, white pearl earrings make for an excellent option.
Simple and timeless, white pearl studs are ideal for everyday wear. Keep it classic with our white freshwater pearl and silver studs – you can always wear them as-is or add our ‘build your own’ long drop earrings for a more versatile combination.
White pearl drop earrings make more of a statement, and can really elongate the wearer’s neck. Choose a timeless design like our white freshwater pearl large drop earrings; our white freshwater pearl silver hoop earrings would also suit.
Those who favour bolder pieces will love a design like our white freshwater pearl, rock crystal and rainbow moonstone drop earrings. Inspired by the vivid, abstract art of Picasso and Frida Kahlo, these earrings cascade down in a tumble of white freshwater pearls, rainbow moonstone, rose quartz and rock crystal.
Pearl pendants
There’s place for a white pearl pendant in every wardrobe.
Keep it simple yet sophisticated in our white freshwater pearl ‘back to basics’ simple silver pendant. Choose a modish design with our white baroque freshwater pearl ‘back to basics’ silver pendant, or white baroque freshwater pearl pendant.
A pendant length can come in more unusual designs, too. Our limited edition white freshwater pearl single-strand necklace offers easy glamour and grace, as does our white seed pearl ‘drop’ necklace.
Just because the star colour is ‘white’, doesn’t mean you can’t add in more vibrant tones. Add colour to a white pearl pendant design by choosing our white freshwater pearl and multicoloured sapphire ‘happy’ necklace, or our white South Sea pearl and tourmaline ‘happy’ design.
Pearl rings
Simple but elegant, sleek but glamorous, a white pearl ring works for morning brunch and evening drinks.
Choose a pared-back design like our white freshwater pearl and silver ring, or our white biwa pearl and sculpted silver design.
Our sterling silver and white freshwater pearl ‘swirl’ ring is redolent with 1920s glamour, inspired by our founder and head designer Chrissie’s ancestors, who were pearl jewellers in Aberdeen over 150 years ago.
How to style white pearl jewellery: 3 ideas
For special occasions
White pearl jewellery is a go-to for bridal jewellery.
Wear a design like our limited-edition white freshwater pearl ‘Atlantis’ choker with an off-the-shoulder bridal gown to turn heads. Pair with white pearl studs like our white South Sea pearl and diamond ‘tsarina’ earrings to catch the light.
Alternatively, choose a matching set for your special day. Our white akoya and South Sea pearl necklace with diamond leaf centrepiece and white South Sea pearl and diamond olive leaf earrings will complement all skin tones and can be passed down as an heirloom set.
At work
Choosing white pearl jewellery for work can feel tricky – you want to choose a stylish design that doesn’t distract.
A white single-strand pearl necklace pairs well with a crisp shirt and suit combination. Our single-strand freshwater pearl large necklace will sit just on the collarbone, offering vintage glamour without overstatement. Don’t forget to wear with a white pearl tie pin like our white biwa pearl design, or with white pearl cufflinks, too.
Everyday
White pearl earrings are a must for day-to-day wear.
Add our white freshwater pearl ‘cuff’ earring jackets to a set of white studs for a dynamic twist on a classic look, or wear our white South Sea pearl and diamond gold huggies for a special design that will take you from morning to evening.
