Before you start thinking about styling a pearl necklace, you want to find one that works for you. There are a few things to consider when choosing any pearls. You want a necklace that will look amazing on you and suit your personality.

Your skin tone and complexion are the first things you want to consider. If you have a darker complexion, pearls with a gold finish will look better for you. Wearing white or ivory pearls will help to brighten lighter complexions.

When you’re choosing between different lengths, consider the neckline and shape of your usual daily outfit. If you’re a fan of a v neck dress, you can usually choose any length of pearl rope necklace.

You can wear pearls every day. It’s all about choosing the right pearls to fit the occasion. Wearing a longer pearl rope isn’t usually appropriate for day-to-day styling or business casual events. For more casual occasions, a mid-length strand might be a better choice.

If you want to style pearls as part of your everyday look, a pearl clip or knot stud earrings are the perfect investment. You can style them together for a coordinated look or style them separately with a more casual outfit.
