The best pearl earrings to add to your collection
The Princess of Wales is a fan of a modern pearl.
They say diamonds are a girl's best friend, but this year it is all about pearls. The classic pearl earring has been reinvented with quirky shapes, diamante designs and playful shell details, taking this piece straight to the top of our wish lists for this season and we can't get enough.
It's not just the Good Housekeeping fashion team who have given pearls the nod of approval, plenty of stylish A-listers and even royals have proven themselves fans. The Princess of Wales has been photographed in a stunning pair of miniature hooped earrings fitted with pearl droplets, reinventing the classic pearl stud for the modern woman.
Pearls are a great piece to buy into because they are a year-round item. More dressed up earrings that mix pearls, diamantes and rhinestones are perfect for your occasion dressing, while more subtle, elegant hoop styles with a single pearl drop are great for workwear.
So, whether you're looking for a new statement jewel, a must-have clip-on style or just an everyday hoop, there really is a pearl earring out there for everyone, with options to suit all budgets.
Perfect for dressing up a casual long sleeve dress or pairing with a simple jumper and jeans combo, these chic pearl earrings will instantly update your look, and will add some style credentials to your look.
