For decades, pearls were seen as the ultimate symbol of elegance and sophistication—but mainly for women. That’s no longer the case. From red carpets to music videos and streetwear culture, men wearing pearls has become one of the biggest jewelry trends of the last few years.

Icons like Harry Styles, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, and even athletes like LeBron James have embraced pearls as part of their signature style. Whether it's a subtle strand of pearls paired with a suit or a bold, layered look mixed with gold and diamonds, this once-feminine gem has officially become unisex—and it’s here to stay.

In this guide, we’re diving deep into why pearls have become a staple in men’s jewelry, how to style them, and why Adamans’ Pearl Necklaces and Pearl Bracelets are the perfect way to get in on the trend.


Why Are Men Wearing Pearls Now?

The rise of men wearing pearls isn’t random. Fashion has always pushed boundaries, and in recent years, gender-fluid style has broken down traditional rules about what men “should” or “shouldn’t” wear. Pearls are the perfect example of this shift.

1. Cultural Influence

Hip-hop, K-pop, and celebrity culture have had a massive impact. When artists like A$AP Rocky rock a pearl necklace with streetwear or Jaden Smith pairs pearls with a leather jacket, it challenges the old-school view of pearls being “feminine.”

2. High Fashion Meets Street Style

Luxury brands like Chanel, Dior, and Gucci have showcased men’s pearl jewelry on runways. This trickled down to streetwear, making pearls accessible for everyday outfits.

3. Timeless Yet Modern

Pearls carry a sense of sophistication, but when styled with men’s fashion, they add an unexpected, edgy twist. It’s this balance between classic and contemporary that makes them so appealing.


How Men Are Wearing Pearls

There’s no single “right” way to wear pearls. Part of their appeal is versatility. Here are some of the top styling ideas to make pearls work for you:

1. The Minimalist Look

For men new to pearl jewelry, a single Pearl Necklace with a plain T-shirt or button-down is the easiest way to start. It’s clean, understated, and instantly adds personality.

2. Layered With Chains

One of the hottest trends right now is mixing pearls with metal. Pairing an Adamans Pearl Necklace with one of our Moissanite Chains or Moissanite Cuban Link Chains gives you a bold, fashion-forward look that blends soft and hard textures.

3. Bracelet Stacks

Pearls aren’t just for your neck. Adamans’ Pearl Bracelets can be worn solo for a classic vibe or stacked with Moissanite Tennis Bracelets for extra shine.

4. Streetwear Meets Luxury

Throw on a hoodie, cargo pants, and a strand of pearls, and you’ve got the modern streetwear aesthetic that’s taking over fashion right now.

How to Care for Your Pearl Jewelry

  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Perfume, hairspray, and cleaning products can damage pearls.
