e so-called "pearlcore" trend continues to be embraced by the fashion world as the
zeitgeist of modern times, their timeless sophistication adding luster, as opposed to bling, to
everything from denim to ballgowns. is season it's an either / or – either a fabulous pearl
"neck mess" or a singular short strand. Swaying strands of jumbled pearls added movement
and a sense of carefree fashion at Gucci, Oscar de la Renta, Junya Wattanabe, Alaïa, and
Norma Kamali.
Sizable and statement-making pearls stayed close to the face. WhoWhatWear touted
"jumbo pearls" as number one of " e Only 8 Jewelry Trends that Matter for 2023." Such
bold styles reigned supreme at Dior and Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood, and
in baroque pearls at Rejina Pyo. Pearls also showed up in bracelets, button earrings,
cocktail rings, or arm bands at Givenchy and even pinky rings at Christian Dior.
