Given that Kamala Harris officially became our Vice President this week, this should come as no surprise: Everyone just wants to wear pearls right now. Our Senior News Editor Erin pointed out last year that Harris has made pearls her signature accessory for 35 years, and she carried on the tradition on Inauguration Day. First Lady Jill Biden also wore pearls (in the form of embellishment on her Markarian dress), as did J.Lo (in the form of Chanel pearl earrings), featured poet Amanda Gorman (in the form of a ring gifted to her by Oprah), and many women around the country in support and celebration of Harris.
Modern pearls have already been a major jewelry trend for several seasons now, but ever since the Inauguration, they’ve been everywhere. I’ve lost count of how many emails about pearls I’ve received this week. So in the spirit of Harris, I scoured the internet for the most beautiful pearl pieces you can buy.
