Pearl jewellery is everywhere right now and Kate Middleton is a big fan. Shop the best pearl jewellery, from pearl necklaces and rings to classic pearl studs from Monica Vinader, H Samuel, Tiffany’s & more
Pearl jewellery is everywhere right now but up until a few years ago, pearls had been resigned to nothing more than a string of pearls or the fancy dress essential to wear to a Gatsby themed party.
Thanks to some clever reimagining of the traditional jewellery gemstone, we’re seeing pearls in all their glory – from dainty pearls on huggies and delicate rings to large, irregular shaped stones on chunky gold chains, big, bold pearls on statement earrings and beaded styles too.

It also helps that Kate Middleton is often seen in her go-to pair of Annoushka pearl earrings, whether to a glitzy red carpet event or an informal royal engagement, and relies on classic pearl pieces and modern-skewed pearl jewellery to elevate her look, whatever the occasion. We loved Kate's pearl necklace from Monica Vinader, pictured, too.
These days, pearls are considered as cool as they are classic – from high street pearl jewellery to designer pieces, there’s plenty of pearl jewellery to choose from. Shop our favourites:
