Big Pearl Energy

Pearls have quietly reclaimed their place at the centre of the conversation this season, emerging as one of the defining jewellery trends across the Autumn/Winter 25 runways. From oversized strands at Chanel and Valquera to sculptural drop earrings at Studio Ena, designers are treating the gem less as a classic and more as a point of expression.

Long associated with elegance and ceremony, pearls have a far older and more practical history, having been sourced for centuries from freshwater and saltwater oysters — long before the jewellery pieces we recognise today. The key pull? No two are the same, making each piece perfectly unique.
