Best pearl jewellery inspired by Kate Middleton: From pearl earrings to necklaces

Best pearl jewellery inspired by Kate Middleton: From pearl earrings to necklaces







Carla Challis




Pearl jewellery is everywhere right now but up until a few years ago, pearls had been resigned to nothing more than a string of pearls or the fancy dress essential to wear to a Gatsby themed party.


Thanks to some clever reimagining of the traditional jewellery gemstone, we’re seeing pearls in all their glory – from dainty pearls on huggies and delicate rings to large, irregular shaped stones on chunky gold chains, big, bold pearls on statement earrings and beaded styles too.

It also helps that Kate Middleton is often seen in her go-to pair of Annoushka pearl earrings, whether to a glitzy red carpet event or an informal royal engagement, and relies on classic pearl pieces and modern-skewed pearl jewellery to elevate her look, whatever the occasion. We loved Kate’s pearl necklace from Monica Vinader, pictured, too.


These days, pearls are considered as cool as they are classic – and pearl jewellery is just the keepsake to gift your mum for Mother’s Day 2022, whatever her style or your budget. And if you believe in the meaning behind gemstones, the symbolism of a pearl is spot on for Mother’s Day too – pearls are believed to be a symbol of wisdom, and offer protection, as well as bringing balance to the wearer and are said to attract good luck and wealth. You can quote that on your Mother’s Day gift tag…
