Pearl Revival: How We Wear the Jewelry Trend in a Modern and Edgy Way
Pearls are back – and they have lost none of their elegance. But instead of just shining in a classic look, they are now experiencing a real revival and are coming in modern, edgy interpretations.
Anyone who thought that pearls were only for formal occasions or conservative outfits should urgently reconsider their opinion. In 2025, we will celebrate the return of a timeless piece of jewelry that is being revived in edgy variations.
Pearls have always been a symbol of timeless elegance and sophistication. Whether in the 1920s as part of the famous flapper wardrobe or in the 90s as a trademark of the minimalist look - pearls have always reinvented themselves. Today they are more than just a relic from times gone by: they have developed into a statement piece that harmonizes with current fashion movements, creating a mix of tradition and innovation.
The edgy look: How to combine pearls correctly
Unusual shapes and sizes
Pearls are no longer just round and flawless. The new trend is based on irregular, asymmetrical designs that give the jewelry an edgy, modern touch. Uneven pearls in different sizes create a cool, confident look. Wear them in unconventional arrangements or as a striking eye-catcher in a minimalist combination. The jewelry looks modern and fresh, especially with brass, silver or matte gold.
XXL-sized pearls
Subtle pearl necklace? No thanks, not in 2025! XXL pearls are in. Even simple looks are put in the spotlight and become real eye-catchers. Whether large and round or irregularly shaped, XXL pearls provide the perfect level of extravagance and luxury. The shiny giants put an end to boring jewelry and create a striking highlight.
A simple casual look suddenly becomes bold, an elegant evening look gets that certain something - and all this thanks to a single, powerful pearl. In 2025, it's no longer about shining inconspicuously, but about shining big and boldly.
Colorful glass beads
Here's a nostalgic throwback to the 70s: colorful glass beads! These sparkling pieces of jewelry bring color, energy and a whole new dimension to jewelry collections. If you don't feel like wearing plain ivory beads, you can now wear bright, colorful glass beads in all shapes and colors.
Glass pearl necklaces have attracted attention not only on the catwalks of Chanel and Biba , but also in the street styles of Copenhagen Fashion Week 2025. They are a real statement for all fashionistas who like playful details and want to spice up their outfits with an individual touch. A highlight for a classic blazer for a complete style break or as a charming accessory for a simple summer dress - glass pearl necklaces are real all-rounders.
The Pearl Craft
What many people don't know: The production of pearl jewelry is a work of art in itself. Many collections place emphasis on craftsmanship, with designers often working with local artisans who integrate the pearls into their jewelry in a unique and artistic way. This collaboration results in truly unique pieces that are made with great attention to detail and a personal touch.
The jewelry thus becomes not only a fashion accessory, but also an expression of style, tradition and appreciation for craftsmanship. The craftsmanship is particularly evident in designs that combine pearls with other materials such as gold or silver - each piece tells a story and stands out through its attention to detail and exclusivity.
Pearls are not only an aesthetic highlight, but also a symbol of the comeback of handcrafted jewelry. It's less about mass production and more about a return to quality and authenticity, which make pearls something special.
