Pearl jewelry, apart from being stylish, also carries many meanings. Some European brides believe that they should not wear it on their wedding day (especially pearl earrings) because they symbolize tears.
Interestingly, in other cultures, for example in Chinese, they symbolize purity, in Persian virginity, while in Indian, pearls have positive connotations and are often seen on brides. According to one legend, Krishna wanted to give his daughter something pure and beautiful for her wedding, so he dived into the ocean and fetched pearls for her.
It is worth mentioning that pearls are not stones - they are an organic byproduct produced by mussels. They are created as a result of a foreign body, such as a grain of sand, getting inside the shell. They are most often opalescent, creamy white in color, although there are also much rarer and valued by jewelers, gray or black ones.
Pearls are often seen in Dior's jewelry, they are also very characteristic for Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana's jewelry. Designers of this house, inspired by the history of Italian culture, almost every season propose a collection of jewelry based on pearls. Famous fans and promoters of pearls in fashion were also Coco Chanel, Margaret Thatcher, and Princess Diana.

If you like them, you don't have superstitions and you are looking for pearl jewelry, for example for a gift, then you are on the right track. Do you like pearls, but have no idea for them? Take advantage of a few of our inspirations.
A pearl bracelet can be great to start the adventure with this type of jewelry. You can sneak it discreetly under the sleeve of a blazer, but you can also expose it. A very fashionable, original, and stylish way to expose it is to wear it not under the sleeve (standard), but above it, provided it is tight.
A pearl bracelet against a high-quality wool black sweater will certainly impress.
At Vitkac.com you'll find plenty of pearl jewelry options, including: a richly decorated Dolce & Gabbana bracelet, that you can wear with a tweed blazer or a 3/4 sleeve or long dress.
The second, ultra-modern proposal is a Chloe bracelet. This one will suit lovers of minimalism. An oversized dress in a uniform, subdued color, and a simple tote bag will be the perfect background for such a bracelet. The chain bracelet Alexander McQueen made of brass is a variation on the classic that Coco Chanel herself would have loved. You can wear it, for example, with a white shirt, jeans, and heels or sandals.
Regardless of whether you go in fashion for classics, avant-garde, or pure modernity, we have pearl earrings made for you.
Pearl jewelry by Chloe is simple, yet at the same time draws attention to itself with its complex form. The brand's hanging earrings will look best with blouses and dresses with exposed shoulders, for special occasions, but they will also look great with a shirt, suit trousers, heels, or moccasins. To better expose them, pin your hair up or comb it smoothly back.
MM6 Maison Margiela's pearl earrings are reminiscent of modern earrings in the 80s. Because of the retro inspirations, you can wear them with a leather jacket, a tight dress, and heavy motorcycle-style boots. Gucci jewelry (screw earrings) is the calmest of the trio. They will perfectly highlight the luxurious look of a light, cashmere sweater, or break the heaviness of a thick, woolen turtleneck. They will also be perfect for a little black dress for special occasions.
Don't you wear earrings or bracelets? We've picked out a few other gems from our website for you. Perhaps you will choose the ideal model of pearl necklaces for yourself. If so far a necklace reminded you mainly of your grandmother, you will definitely change your mind.
MM6 Maison Margiela offers pearls in a refreshed version. You can wear them, for example, as a choker with a jersey dress and high-heeled boots. The artistic Burberry necklace with a pearl will appeal to those who appreciate creative design. The hand holding the pearl will look great against a white, unbuttoned shirt or a smooth blouse with a stand-up collar.
The spring, "blooming" Dolce & Gabbana pearl necklace will contrast interestingly with a heavy fabric with a visible texture, e.g. tweed (how Chanel combined pearls with tweed). It will also fit with a lace dress, a patterned dress in a similar color tone or a pastel sweater - pay attention to how the designers dress their models for shows and get inspired by their look.
