Trend Alert 2025: Modern Pearls
Pearls are back for 2025...but these are not your grandmother's traditional strand of pearls. Casual, boho, classic or chic, a modern take on pearls can freshen up any style.
Baroque pearls when paired with molten metals or layered in a maximalist style is our favorite interpretation of the emerging pearl trend, but we also love traditional pearls styled in a fresh way
.What are Baroque Pearls?
Key characteristics of Baroque Pearls:
- Shape: Baroque pearls can range from slightly irregular to highly abstract shapes. Common forms include oval, teardrop, and freeform.
- Surface Texture: They may have bumps, ridges, or other surface irregularities, which add to their uniqueness.
- Luster: Despite their irregular shapes, baroque pearls often have a stunning luster, with their surface reflecting light in complex and beautiful ways.
- Sizes: They can be found in a variety of sizes, from small accents to large statement pearls.
- Types: Baroque pearls can come from both freshwater and saltwater sources. South Sea, Tahitian, and freshwater baroque pearls are particularly popular.
And how do they compare to Traditional Pearls?
Quite simply, baroque pearls are irregularly shaped and asymmetrical and can take on a variety of unique, non-spherical forms, such as teardrops, ovals, or abstract shapes. And traditional pearls (often referred to as "round pearls") are typically perfectly round or near-round, which is considered the classic and most sought-after shape in the pearl industry.
