Pearls have long been considered the classic adornment for brides on their big day, especially in earrings that complement the face without complicating the neckline. Nothing new about that. What is new in regards to wedding pearls is the wide range of styles designers are turning out to suit women (or men or nonbinary people) of all tastes.
For the beach wedding babe, consider Mateo’s Pearl Venus earrings, with their chic golden shells. For an evening black-tie wedding, Lizzie Mandler’s mismatched black and white baroque pearls or Mindi Mond’s diamond-set freshwater pearl drops are just the ticket. For every style and vibe in between, check out the earrings below, which come in yellow gold, white gold, silver, and plated gold.
From studs to chandeliers, pearl earrings for the bride manage the near-impossible: to be both classic and trendsetting in one fell swoop.
