Pearls are a classic jewelry style. However, because they are so t.mes less, pearls also get the bad rep as being “old-fashioned” or “stuffy” looking—thanks in large part to the preppy Jackie O. types of the 1950s who made them the accessory of ladies who lunch.

However, designers are bringing pearls back into fashion with modern designs, offering up fresh ways to wear this t.mes -honored jewelry material. We round up some of our favorite pearl pieces and share tips on how you can find pearl jewelry that is perfectly on trend!

Layered Up Pearls
A surprisingly fashion-forward way to wear pearls is to take a page from vintage Coco Chanel’s book and wear layers of pearl necklaces. Look for a variety of lengths, from high collar necklaces to sweeping ropes of pearls (36-42 inches long), to mix and match together for a dramatic and playful look!
