From Coastal Cowgirl to Mermaidcore, These Are the Latest Pieces in Pearls

Published

ONE MIGHT HAVE expected the pearl trend to start cooling down about now, but the opposite is happening. We have Margot Robbie’s Barbie press tour outfits sparking interest in ultra-feminine vintage style while Harry Styles is out there showing men that it’s OK for boys to wear pearls, too. At the same time, ocean-themed Coastal Cowgirl and Mermaidcore are two of the hottest style trends of the year. Pearls are relevant to pretty much every corner of the market right now, and you need to be ready.

Sterling silver jewelry by Tanya Moss includes pearl necklace with Sacred Geometry charm, $199; pearl bracelet with charm, $75; butterfly studs with cubic zirconia, $79; butterfly earrings, $49; Fondant ring with mother of pearl, $179; and multicolor sapphire necklace with gold beads, $619. Contact [email protected] or visit tanyamossjewelry.com for more information. MODEL: Nicolette. PHOTOGRAPHER: Gustavo Cisneros.

Coastal Cowgirl exploded into prominence at the beginning of summer 2023, but it’s a style perfectly suited to autumn as well. This category lives at the intersection of Westernwear and beachy BoHo; think white lace, cowboy boots, flowing linen, and denim jackets. In terms of jewelry, this means Southwestern boldness meets BoHo’s sweetness.

The key to Mermaidcore is imagining what a glamorous, sea-dwelling mermaid would wear if she had the chance to shop in your store. Think organic shapes, aquatic greens and blues or seaside sunrise hues, patterns reminiscent of swirling seaweed or cresting waves. Mermaidcore is romantic and soft with an undercurrent of mystery as unknowable as the sea.

After 47 years in business, Jim Saylor, owner of Jim Saylor Jewelers in Kapa’a, Hawaii, knew retiring successfully meant holding a going-out-of-business sale. He also knew he needed help to do it right. He chose Wilkerson. “I’ve heard a lot of different names of companies that do this type of thing,” says Saylor. “Wilkerson’s always seems to be in the forefront.” Saylor says the Wilkerson folks really cared about the success of the sale, making the next phase of his life a lot easier. “I’d recommend Wilkerson to anybody contemplating a change,” he says. “They are true experts.”
