Bring this trend to life

If you’re a fashion brand…

Help people to take pearls from stuffy to stylish. Encourage them to pair a simple strand with jeans and a T-shirt. Or, help them to rethink the standard pearl earring and trade in their classic studs for a more baroque option.

If you’re a special events brand…

Help people to plan a pearl-themed party. Offer up pearl-inspired wedding invitations, table settings and balloons—and don’t forget faux-pearl beaded necklaces as party favours.

If you’re a home brand…

Help your audience to bring understated luxury to a remodel, with pearl floor tiles or sateen-finished, pearl-toned wall paint. Or for a more accessible everyday touch, promote mother-of-pearl photo frames, pearl-embellished serving trays and beaded décor pillows.
