Pearls have a reputation problem. They are thought of as formal, inherited and slightly stiff — three things almost nobody is aiming for.
The fix is simple: wear them with what you already own. A single strand over a white shirt. Baroque drops with wet hair. One pearl hoop and one plain gold one.
Treat them as ordinary and they become yours. Treat them as precious and they will stay in the box, which is where good jewellery goes to be forgotten.
