How to wear the pearl necklace this summer?

After everyone's obsession with seashell jewelry last summer, pearl necklaces are everywhere this season. Easy to style and endlessly versatile, what we love about them is their minimalist simplicity and their retro vibes, but with this seasons’ modern interpretation and twist, pearl necklaces have officially taken a turn for the cool. Layer this classic necklace with one or two gold or gold-plated necklaces, or with stackable chain chokers.

Be bold and daring in your fashion choices: pair your pearl necklace with a contemporary outfit to create a modern and edgy look.
