Pearl finds put a fresh spin on the classic gemstone

-

Pearl jewelry dates to 520 BC, when pieces were reportedly found in the sarcophagu­s of a Persian princess. Since then, the milky gemstones have become mainstays in adornment design. In recent seasons, punchy pearls have been proving especially popular, thanks to unique new settings and celebrity styling, such as Harry Styles and Usher. Safe to say, a pearl design is a must-have this year — one that you can wear and love for years to come. Aleesha Harris shares five pearl pieces we are loving.

SWEET STACKER

A sweet ring like this Pearl Slim Stacker Ring ensures a pearl can find a fit in any ring stack — and fit any finger thanks to a range of sizes including four to 10. Crafted from 14-karat gold, the simply chic design features a petite freshwater pearl in a three-prong setting.

Add these pearls to a sleek low bun or apply them with a few other favourite pins for a more-is-more approach to hair accessoriz­ing.
