PEARL DENIM LOOK #1: BEACH PERFECT

Going to the beach? Put on playful denim shorts with a crop top, slip into your flip-flops, add a sun hat into the mix, and feel the salty breeze on your skin and the sand between your toes. Keep your accessories neutral with the Endless Biwa Pearl Necklace and the Golden Circles Pearl Bracelet.

PEARL DENIM LOOK #2: SODA-POP DIVA

No-one can keep up with your bold style and cool demeanor. When you walk down the street, the soundtrack of Grease starts to play. What you need are divalicious accessories to pair with your denim outfit. Choose the Rhombus Pearl Ring, the Leopard Pearl Bracelet, and the Golden Star Pearl Earrings.

PEARL DENIM LOOK #3: WEEKEND CASUAL

Whether you’re spending your weekend on the couch with a riveting book and a glass of wine, or on a picnic blanket in the park with friends, you deserve a relaxing weekend. Put on your boyfriend jeans and sandals and pair them with a tailored cotton tee. Use your jewelry to add a bit of glamor.  Our Pearl & Floral Shell Ring, the Elegant Colorful Pearl Bracelet, or the Spring Water Drop Pearl Necklace are dreamy designs. Keep it simple and relaxed.

PEARL DENIM LOOK #4: CASUAL FRIDAY @ THE OFFICE

We love Casual Fridays when we trade in our office wear for something less corporate to get into the weekend mood. Dress your jeans up for the office with eye-catching heels and elegant jewelry, like our Simple Elegance Pearl Necklace & Earrings Set, the Shining Butterfly Double Pearls Adjustable Necklace, or the Best Wishes Pearl Brooch/Pendant. You can take this look from the office to after-work cocktails with the girls.

PEARL DENIM LOOK #5: ROCK CHIC

Are you with the band, or are you THE band? Get your rock on with worn denim, a fun tee, and studded leather boots. Pair with unexpected pearl jewelry designs, like the Silver Gray Endless Pearl Necklace, the Black Tahitian Pearl Ring, and the Dragon Pearl Ring.

PEARL DENIM LOOK #6: TRENDY DISTRESSED JEANS

A sheer, bold top with ballet flats pair well with distressed jeans. Add some pizazz to the girl-next-door look with simple but bold accessories, like our Fancy Blue Pearl Necklace, the Golden Leaf Bronze Pearl Bracelet, the Silver Circle Double Pearls Ring, or the Silvery Flower Pearl Brooch.

WHICH COLOR PEARLS WILL SUIT MY SKIN TONE

This is a question that first-time pearl buyers often struggle with. Though an important consideration, it is not as crucial as you might think. Pearls have the ability to flatter almost every wearer, no matter the color of the pearl. It’s more important to take your personal preferences and style in mind when choosing pearl jewelry. Pearls also absorb the colors in their surroundings due to their reflectiveness.

That said, there are a few considerations you may want to keep in mind:

Generally, lighter pearls – white, rose, peach, cream – work well with fairer skin tones.

Darker complexions go well with gold and cream-colored pearls.

Olive skin tones and white pearls with silver overtones are a good match.

Black or white pearls, on the other hand, suit just about everybody.

SOME SPECIFIC GUIDELINES

If you buy real pearl jewelry from Timeless Pearl as a present and you don’t know what that person’s color preferences are; white is a safe bet as it suits all skin tones. Although peach flatters every complexion, not all wearers are too fond of this color so unless you know for sure that peach is on someone’s wish list, rather steer clear of this color.

Here are some specific guidelines to follow. For more detail

BROWN SKIN TONE | BLACK OR BROWN HAIR | BROWN EYES

Pearl colors that work well with this complexion are black and those with silver, gold, bronze, and copper overtones.

OLIVE/TANNED SKIN TONE | BLACK OR BROWN HAIR | BROWN EYES

Silvery overtones look good with this complexion, while purple and bronze can bring out the best in your look.

FAIR SKIN | BLONDE HAIR | BLUE EYES

Purple tones and gold/bronze overtones suit this complexion well, while peacock-colored pearls accentuate the eye color.

FAIR SKIN | DARK BLONDE HAIR | BROWN EYES

Bronze and copper pearls compliment the brown tones of this complexion, but both purple and peacock colors can also do wonders.

FAIR SKIN | BROWN HAIR | GREEN EYES

Some of the best pearl colors for this skin/hair/eye combination are bronze, gold, peacock, and dark gray. The latter two are great at focusing attention on the green eyes.

FAIR SKIN | ASH BLONDE HAIR | BROWN EYES

Purple, silver and gray, and peacock-colored pearl jewelry look magnificent with this complexion.

FAIR SKIN | AUBURN HAIR | BLUE OR GREY EYES

Pearl jewelry with silver overtones highlights the eyes, while bronze-purple and copper pearls compliment the skin tone and hair color.

FAIR SKIN | RED HAIR | GREEN EYES

Peacock pearls are a perfect match with the green eyes, while gold and copper-colored pearls complement the fiery hair.

The chart includes most skin tone, hair color, and eye color combinations. Even if you don’t fit one description perfectly there should be a near-enough combination that will help to guide your choice. If not, get in touch with Timeless Pearl for guidance.

CONCLUSION

When choosing pearl jewelry, what matters most is your gut feel. No matter the color, pearls are always flattering. An exquisite design that you’re in love with will do more for your self-confidence than the perfect shade.
