Styling Classic Diamonds & Pearls

Whether you’re marking a milestone, styling for a formal event, or simply drawn to heirloom aesthetics, diamond and pearl jewelry hold a special place in timeless fashion. Long before they met in modern designs, diamonds (discovered in India more than 2,500 years ago) and pearls (our earliest gemstone) were icons in their own right. By the Edwardian and Art Deco eras, jewelry designs began blending pearls and diamonds in symmetrical, high-society pieces. These eras cemented the pairing’s legacy: feminine, refined, and effortlessly chic.

Diamonds and pearls are a perfect pairing because diamonds catch the light, while pearls soften it. When worn together, they strike a balance between shimmer and glow. The crisp sparkle of diamonds complements the soft luster of pearls. Both stones pair beautifully with gold and platinum. Together, they elevate even the simplest silhouettes—think a black sheath dress with a pearl-and-diamond pendant.

Below are some classic pairings and modern trends.

• Diamond studs + pearl necklace: the classic duo: this polished look is perfect anytime you want to look professional or polished.

• Pearl bracelet with diamond accents: a single strand pearl bracelet with subtle diamonds provides simple luxury.
• Layered necklaces: add classic nod to the modern styling of layered necklaces by mixing diamond and pearl pendants.
