Pearls have always been a classic staple in jewelry, especially in the high-end department. But lately, it's trickled its way down into trendy jewelry silhouettes too, and it's having quite the moment this past year. First, Ariana Grande's engagement ring donned a freshwater pearl, then Netflix's Bridgerton aired and its costumes almost always featured pearls, and last but not least, the jewelry staple was spotted more than once at the Presidential Inauguration in January.
If you've been eyeing new jewelry to add to your radar, it's safe to say that a pearl piece is what you should be adding to your list. It's one of those things that are trendy right now but will continue to be a classic in your collection. And to make it easier, I searched through the market and found the best pieces within every price point that you can shop. From costume pieces to fine jewelry, there's an option for you no matter your budget. Whether you want to look like you just stepped out of a Regency-era ball or like you just came back from Paris, you can keep scrolling.

Yusra Siddiqui is an editor who resides in New Jersey but bounces between the suburbs and NYC. (She's a Jersey girl at heart.) After interning at Who What Wear in 2019, she found her way to the team after graduating from LIM College in 2022 with a fashion media degree. She's also spent time writing and working for publications such as Fashionista, Coveteur, and Nylon, but she always knew that Who What Wear was where she was meant to be. When she's on the job, she's perusing runway shows, analyzing the latest thing fellow Gen Zers are up to on the internet, and sharing what she can about the modest-fashion market. You can also catch her dabbling in entertainment, talking about the costume choices of the latest Netflix series or diving deeper into how the plotline affects the viewers in a myriad of ways. Lastly, she likes to create content for Who What Wear's TikTok. Her personal time is spent doing similar but also different things—deep diving into almost every new TV show (Bridgerton, Gilmore Girls, and Stranger Things are favorites), planning her next local getaway (whenever that may be), and reading the latest Emily Henry or Sally Rooney novel in one sitting.
