Choosing the Right Size Pearl Jewellery

Pearl jewellery has always been prized for its classic sophistication and elegance. A pearl necklace stands out among the many types of jewellery offered as a timeless piece that subtly enhances any outfit. To make sure your pearl necklace matches your style and improves your overall appearance, it’s important to choose the appropriate size. Explore the art of selecting the ideal pearl necklace size below, assisting you in choosing a size that complements both your sense of style and comfort.


Choosing The Right Length


A pearl necklace’s length is entirely subjective. Which style are you aiming for? A shorter string of pearls is perhaps more appropriate for you if you intend to wear them more informally. It is generally believed that longer strands are more formal, though this is not a strict rule. Consider your neckline and body shape. Collar-length or choker-style necklaces are perfect for individuals with longer necks, as they accentuate the elegant curve. Princess-length necklaces, resting just below the collarbone, are universally flattering and matinee-length necklaces, falling between the collarbone and the bust, add a touch of sophistication and are particularly suitable for business or formal occasions.

Smaller pearls, usually measuring between 5 and 7 mm, have a subtle charm that makes them ideal for casual events and daily use. Pearls that are medium in size, ranging from 7 to 9 mm, are appropriate for semi-formal occasions as well as professional settings. Larger pearls, measuring 10 mm or more, are ideal for formal events or special occasions because they make a dramatic statement. Our necklaces from Aquarian Pearls come in a variety of designs and sizes.
