3. But it isn’t all about your outfit.  You need to make sure that you also pair them with the right accessories.  Remember that pearls are quite distinctive so they don’t always complement other pieces of jewelry.

5. Also, it is possible to team such a necklace up with other stunning gemstones.  If you choose to go down this route then keep the rest of your outfit simple.  If not the look you end up with could seem quite messy.   The best gemstones, to really choose, for teaming with any, pearl pendant necklace is diamonds.

So What Options Do You Have When Wearing A Pearl Pendant Necklace?

1. Team Up With Leather

It might seem like a contradiction in terms, but a black leather jacket will help to show off the beauty of the pearl even more.   You can of course wear a plain crew cut t-shirt underneath, but the beauty of the pearl will be hidden.

Instead think about wearing a low cut top or nothing at all underneath your jacket.  Then zip it up to a point just below where the pearl on your pendant necklace sits.  This will help to bring people’s focus in on the necklace.

2. Team With A Crew Neck T-Shirt

Go for the more vintage looking t-shirts if you can.  Also stick with one that is going to really accentuate the colour of the pearl in your necklace.  For example if you intend to wear a white pearl pendant necklace make sure that you wear a black, grey or dark blue t-shirt.
