Most would argue that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but let’s not forget about the allure of artistic pearl jewelry. Ever since Phoebe Philo turned the pearl from a traditional jewelry staple to a modern must-have, designers and shoppers have picked up on the unexpected appeal of the freshwater gems. Pearls have become so popular that you can’t even scroll through your Instagram feed or a street style gallery without spotting them on the ears of a stylish woman. The goods news is that because of their lovely and unique nature, pearls also make for a beautiful and stylish Valentine’s Day jewelry gift.
There is a timeless pearl piece out there for the special person in your life. A minimal, single strand necklace from Washed Ashore or bracelet by Chan Luu would be just the right gesture for those starting a new relationship. For best friends, spouses, or serious significant others, consider a unique pair of earrings with more personality and edge, like those from Sophie Monet, Ippolita, and Beck Jewels. Even if you’re spending V Day happily on your own this year, you can shop a pair of pretty pearls from Mango, only $25, or Wolf Circus for just below $100 straight from your couch. Treat yourself!
