These mother-of-pearl petal earrings are the very definition of modern romanticism. Both organic and sophisticated, they catch the light in a unique way. But because they command a certain style, it can sometimes be difficult to know how to style them.
Here's how to transform those "statement" jewelry pieces into key pieces in your wardrobe.
1. The "Minimalist Chic" look (The office or brunch)
Since these curls are voluminous and textured, let them be the star of the show.
The outfit: An off-white silk blouse or a beige fine-knit sweater. The tone-on-tone effect with the mother-of-pearl creates a very luxurious and refined aesthetic.
The bottom: Straight raw denim jeans or wide-leg tailored trousers.
Hair styling tip: A low, messy bun or a sleek ponytail to show off your posture.
2. The "Bohemian Romantic" look (Wedding or summer evening)
The floral design of these earrings naturally evokes lightness.
The outfit: A long, flowing dress, either in pastel flowers or a solid color (sage green or old rose work wonderfully with iridescent highlights).
The finishing touch: Gold strappy sandals to echo the delicate edge of the petals.
Hair styling tip: Natural waves (beach waves) with a few strands tucked behind the ear to show off the jewelry.
3. The "Modern Contrast" look (City outing)
Who said mother-of-pearl was only for demure looks? Break the rules.
The outfit: An oversized black blazer and a basic white t-shirt. The contrast between the ruggedness of the blazer and the delicacy of the petals creates a very interesting visual balance.
Tip: Avoid wearing a statement necklace. These earrings speak for themselves. A thin gold ring will be more than enough.
The Dos & Don'ts
To do: Play with materials. Mother-of-pearl loves linen, silk and cashmere.
To avoid: Overly thick turtlenecks that "suffocate" the bottom of the earring and risk snagging it.
The little extra: Luminous makeup with a touch of highlighter on the top of the cheekbones to echo the pearly reflections.
