The pearls are out of order

The icon of 2026 will undoubtedly remain Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, whose minimalist wardrobe is showcased in the miniseries Love Story . Among her must-haves is a simple pearl necklace that enhances her cool-chic, understated yet sophisticated look. However, in 2026, pearls break free from the staid necklace to playfully disrupt the silhouette of the modern bourgeois woman. Less demure, more edgy, they are given a twist by a graphic charm in gold and diamonds, like the Capture Amulet necklace and bracelet by Akillis. Resolutely modern, dinh van uses Akoya pearls, chosen for their natural luster, to breathe new life into the iconic Maillon. With the Maillon Perle collection, the brand also embraces the trend of mobile jewelry. The pearl is mounted on a yellow gold axis around which it rolls freely… and which the fashionista loves to play with. This combination of yellow gold and Akoya pearls is also found at Tasaki, which is constantly expanding its "balance" collection by Thakoon Panichgul. Launched in 2010, this collection embodies a modern vision characterized by pearls aligned on a delicate gold line. Among the new interpretations, the "balance step neo" earrings and the "balance parallel neo" ring, easy to wear every day, are sure to appeal to fashionistas. The same goes for the sun-drenched creations of the Nice-based brand D1928, inspired by the Riviera. Our favorite? The La Réserve three-strand bracelet. For special occasions, fashionistas will easily embrace the Infinia earrings by the American brand Jacob & Co., crafted in a contrasting combination of pearls, white gold, diamonds, onyx, and mother-of-pearl.
