Bridal Pearls: From Classic to Contemporary

Bridal Pearls: From Classic to Contemporary

25th Apr 2018

Stunning pearls have long been associated with traditional white weddings and beautiful brides but that doesn’t mean they can’t be modern and contemporary too. From a classic string of pearls to enhance a sweetheart neckline to baroque earrings to demonstrate your individuality, there’s bridal pearl jewellery to suit every bride and style.

Bridal pearl jewellery has been used for centuries, with numerous traditions attached to the iridescent gemstone. Traditionally, brides chose the much-sought after white coloured pearls, said to represent purity, much like the modern white wedding dresses of today, in ancient cultures. Other stories link delicate pearls to tears, with a gift of pearls on a wedding day signalling that the bride will have a happy, tear-free marriage.

Today, most brides choose pearls for their wedding for both traditional reasons and the elegant, exquisite look of them.

Despite pearls being the classic choice for brides, there are still plenty of options to give the dazzling beauty of pearls a modern twist. If you want to combine the classic pearl look with a touch of contemporary design, we have two alluring collections for you to choose from.

Adding A Touch of Gold

When you think of traditional bridal pearl jewellery, it’s likely to be a string of pearls and small, studded earrings that spring to mind. Adding gold to your look can give your overall appearance a subtle, modern twist.

Our gold collection combines beautiful 18ct yellow gold with the stunningly natural shimmer of pearls for picture perfect results. Our White Akoya Bridal Pearl Earrings and White Pearls Flower Ring, perfectly complement one another for understated, contemporary glamour. While brides that want to make a statement can choose the on-trend GoldTassel Bridal Pearl Pecklace.

Embracing Baroque Style – imperfect shape & more interesting Statement

You don’t have to look far in the fashion world to see that the mismatched, imperfect look is on-trend. From asymmetrical catwalk creations to offbeat earrings on the high street. Baroque pearls let you capture this distinct look on your wedding day while still retaining the luxurious appeal of pearls.

Pearls traditionally used for a bridal pearl necklace might be perfectly smooth and round but those using imperfect baroque pearls are interesting, make a statement, and add a touch of individuality. It’s a style that’s effortless to capture with our necklace and pearl drop earrings.

With so many different styles, shapes, and even colours to choose from, brides can pick out the contemporary pearl jewellery that perfectly matches their style. Thanks to pearls maintaining their gorgeous look, the jewellery that you select can be enjoyed long after the wedding too, bringing back delightful memories whenever it’s worn again.
