How to Layer Pearls Without Looking Like Your Grandmother

How to layer pearls the modern way.

Layered pearl necklace styling

Pearls have been having a moment, but not your grandmother pearls. This is the new pearl.

The modern pearl stack

This multi-layer gold pearl choker uses a magnetic clasp. Three strands of graduated shell pearls sit at different lengths, creating that effortlessly undone look. We paired it with an off-the-shoulder cream knit sweater.

Three ways to wear it

  • Off-duty: With a white tee and leather jacket
  • Evening: With a black slip dress and bare shoulders
  • Office: With a crisp white shirt, sleeves rolled
