Sometimes, you just don’t have time to run home and change. I don’t know about you, but I need my outfits to do a full day shift and take me from morning to night. Although I can’t carry my closet around with me (trust me, I’ve tried!), I’ve found the next best thing - always having a gold pearl necklace in my bag.
Throwing on a gold pearl necklace is my go-to way of upgrading my outfit in seconds. All you need is a fresh coat of mascara, a fun lip color, and a new set of jewelry. Pearls have transitioned from a vintage fashion staple to the ultimate beach accessory.
I’m sharing the coolest way to style a freshwater pearl necklace in 2025 to transition your outfit effortlessly from day to night.
Chunky Pearl Necklace with an Oversized Tee
You do not need to be wearing a Chanel suit to rock a gold pearl necklace. Channel your inner ‘it girl’ and style a chunky pearl necklace with an oversized tee, gold bangle, and sculptural earrings.
It’s the ultimate chic streetwear look and the perfect way to elevate a casual outfit to take you from day to night. I wear this exact outfit with the ‘Pearl Carabiner Necklace’ at least once a week and love to use it as an excuse to wear my favorite band t-shirts or a graphic tee.
Boho Chic with a Chunky Chain and Pearl Necklace
The beauty of a freshwater pearl necklace is that it works for every aesthetic. If you’re a bohemian at heart and count celebrities like Stevie Nicks, the Olsen twins, and Florence Welch amongst your style muses, you need a gold pearl necklace in your daily rotation. I love to put an edgier twist on romantic silhouettes to make them feel more contemporary by wearing a pearl pendant necklace with chunky gold earrings.

Powering Dressing with a Pearl Necklace
Power dressing is the ultimate “fake it till you make it” confidence booster. If you’re bored with minimalist workwear, invest in a pearl pendant necklace with a twist. Opting for a necklace with a chunky gold chain makes a bold statement that you’re not afraid to show your personality at the office.
Stay away from classic black and navy and embrace your power dressing era by choosing a pantsuit in your signature color.
A Gold Pearl Necklace for Vacation
If you’re also a fan of traveling with only a carry-on, you know how important it is for everything you’re packing to work together. I love to layer a gold pearl necklace with different chains as my go-to vacation outfit. Whether I’m relaxing by the pool or grabbing a coffee at the hotel bar, you’ll usually see me wearing flowy pants with a knitted bra top and a gold pearl necklace.
If you only buy one piece of jewelry this summer, make it a gold pearl necklace. It’s a staple in any summer closet and the one piece you’ll reach for whether you’re jumping in the pool, running errands, or having a normal day in the office.
