Choosing and caring for your pearls
Of all precious materials, few are as captivating and timeless as pearls are. In
the last couple of years, the beauty of pearls has reached new heights and
reignited creative expression at every major runway from New York to Paris.
With just a few styling tips, you can embrace pearls in the new season – and
for years to come.
Choosing your pearls Inspired by architecture, sculpture and feminine
design, Witchery has unveiled its most premium, elevated and timeless
jewellery collection yet. Weaving together traditional techniques and artistic
innovation, they have crafted a range of jewellery adorned with freshwater
pearls. From statement to staple, you can expect sculptural shapes and
unexpected forms for an elevated twist on the traditional.
Styling your pearls Opt for pieces that can adjust to any wardrobe palette and
occasion. Set with gold hues, the cool tones of pearl will highlight and
enhance the tone and texture of any outfit, making the jewellery as dazzling
as it is versatile. While pearls will work with virtually any tone, they are
especially striking when worn with neutrals like beige, white, and brown, or
with contrasting hues like black and navy. Introduce textures like linen and
cotton to match the natural materials for a look that is both interesting and
warm. Introduce textures like leather, knit, linen and cotton to match the
natural materials for a look that is both interesting and warm. To create a
sense of movement, opt for designs like Witchery’s Molten Lariat Necklace or
Molten Pearl Drop Earrings that work perfectly for any occasion day or night.
Treasuring your pearls Pearls are a timeless treasure and can last for a
lifetime with proper care. Never immerse your pearls in water or harsh
chemicals. Rather, wipe each pearl with a microfibre cloth before storage.
And always avoid spraying perfume on them.
