Pearls are many things: demure, elegant and understated. Their sophisticated reputation means that, over time, pearl earrings have become more synonymous with vintage fashion icons, like Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly, than modern-day cool girls. But that’s all starting to change in 2018.
Now pearls are being redefined, with less of an appetite for uniformly rounded stones and more of a shift towards pearls that are rough-around-the-edges, like ancient relics plucked from the ocean floor.
Think: irregular shaped stones dangling from antique gold hoops, or mismatched gems nestled in jagged oyster shells.
Scroll down to see how pearl earrings are making a unexpected comeback in 2018.
