From Harry Styles to A$AP Rocky, men everywhere are showing up with pearls as part of their ensembles. And we just have to say, we love it! Whether these looks include pendant necklaces, chokers, bracelets, or earrings – formal or casual – pearls for men seem to shine every time.
The best real pearl jewelry, including pendant necklaces, chokers, rings, earrings and bracelets for men.
Heading to the Hall of Fame
If you require convincing, consider this. 29-year-old Atlanta Braves outfielder Joc Pederson started wearing a single strand pearl necklace while playing this September, just as the Major League Baseball playoff race was heating up. As the team kept winning, fans began wearing replicas of the necklace. Atlanta ultimately won the 2021 World Series. And his pearl necklace will now reside in Cooperstown, New York – at the Baseball Hall of Fame.
That’s the power of pearls, people.

Because, let’s face it. A man’s pearl jewelry can be seriously sexy. Or delicate and refined. Pearls for men can be deeply subversive. Or timelessly classic.
The main point is that, as women have known for centuries, pearls that are styled properly always add a little something. Welcome to party, dudes!
of course, all pearls are ultimately for all people
There are number of global luxury brands that have launched specific lines of pearls for men, including Mikimoto and Tiffany’s. We’re sharing the latest pieces from brands like that, plus some newer, edgier ones. And of course – the pearls don’t have to be specifically for men for a man to look great wearing them. Ditto for women – so we should all feel free to raid everyone’s jewelry box to get the look we really want.

14 best trendy men’s pearl jewelry pieces right now
1. Tiffany & Co Chunky Pearl Pendant Necklace.
Even though Tiffany & Co describes their jewelry as capturing the “spirit of the women of New York City,” you’ll find this sterling silver necklace in the men’s jewelry section. The sterling silver chain is 32 inches long, and stuns with a ten-millimeter freshwater pearl drop. As an added plus, with a chain this long, the wearer has the option of looping it twice around their neck. An eye-catching look indeed.

2. Tiffany & Co Fine Chain Pearl Pendant Necklace.
To illustrate how pearls can read so differently with just a slight tweak, we also love this second option for a men’s pearl pendant necklace from Tiffany & Co, which gives off a completely different vibe. The shorter, thinner chain (sixteen inches) holds the same glow of freshwater pearl. The contrast between the shine of the pearl pendant and the sterling silver chain – and the delicacy and refinement of the overall piece – make this a lovely choice. It’s also designed with comfort in mind, making it a perfect choice for anyone who prefers a light touch when it comes to accessories.
BUY NOW – $675.
3. Tiffany & Co Olive Leaf Pearl Earrings.
Of course, a necklace is far from the only way for men to wear pearls. If you’re interested in a pair of earrings, why not choose these stunning olive leaf pearls? They’re part of the Paloma Picasso collection at Tiffany’s. Six-millimeter freshwater pearls are set inside a crown of 18k gold leaves. Their design is a tribute to the olive branch, symbolic of peace and abundance.
BUY NOW – $875.
4. Alan Crocetti Single Pearl Earring.
Who needs a pair of earrings when you can rock just one? A single earring may be the most popular look of them all when it comes to men wearing pearls. This “pearl in heat” earring from Alan Crocetti features a single freshwater pearl, engulfed by a sterling silver flame. It’s a striking look that seems certain to get the conversation started.

5. M. Cohen Mondi Pearl Chain Necklace.
Featuring small South Sea white pearls in a sterling link chain, the pendant on this necklace – a flat silver shield – really makes a statement. The length is adjustable, and it comes with an easy-to-use kissing closure, so there’s more than one way to style it. There’s something intriguing and inviting about the way the necklace is half pearl and half silver. It’s neither one thing nor the other – ’cause why choose, when you can have both?
BUY NOW – $825.
6. Hatton Labs Blue Pearl & Silver Ball Bracelet.
Hatton Labs has a wide range of innovative pearl jewelry for men. It was hard to choose a favorite, but we had to go with this blue pearl and silver ball bracelet. When so many pearls are white or cream colored, this shade of blue gives the look a nice little pop. Not to mention, we love the way the pearls complement the silver chain. There’s something magical about this little bracelet. Be sure to measure before you place an order your custom piece. Made in Italy.
BUY NOW – £225.00.
7. John Hardy Black Rhodium and Pearl Necklace.
If you want a necklace that steals the spotlight, this is the one to choose. The long silver chain finishes with a trio of tokens in silver, black rhodium and freshwater pearl. This piece hails from the brand’s “chain classic collection,” and is available in two sizes.
BUY NOW – $1,085 – $1,100.

8. Polite Worldwide 11:11 Pearl Necklace.
This stunning necklace from Polite Worldwide is a special edition – and special really seems to be the right word here. If you want a necklace that is seemingly made of good luck, this might be the for you. Strung alongside the radiant blue pearls are a set of diamonds and white gold. And what do they spell? 11:11. Polite Worldwide takes the time 11:11 very seriously. They say it’s a great time to check in with your intentions, and practice mindfulness. And of course, a great time to make a wish. The brand stresses the gender-neutral nature of the piece – which is 18.5 inches long, with 8.5 mm pearls – and the fact that it’s produced ethically in Los Angeles. Yay!
BUY NOW – $1,500.
9. Alighieri “Nostalgia of the Day” Pearl Choker.
We are obsessed with this “Nostalgia of the Day” pearl choker from Alighieri. It’s handcrafted in 24k gold-plated bronze, strung with freshwater pearls throughout, and measures twenty inches long. The piece is designed to sit loosely and elegantly around the neck. It’s easy to see how this could complete a formal look, or serve as a fun twist to something more casual.
BUY NOW – $575.
10. Degs and Sal Freshwater Pearl Necklace.
This gorgeous necklace features a 10mm baroque freshwater pearl hanging from a chain of 14k gold-plated sterling silver. It’s twenty-four inches long, giving the pearl an added dramatic flair. Every single piece is individually created by Italian artisans – so you know that your necklace was made with love and care. Any man (or woman!) would look wonderful wearing it.
BUY NOW – $180.
11. Hatton Labs
This men’s pearl bracelet from Hatton Labs is fully on trend with the handmade friendship styles from childhood summer camp. Made in London’s historic Hatton Garden, it’s cast from sterling silver and strung with freshwater pearls arranged to resemble daisies.

For those looking for a subtle nod to the trendy pearls for men without going over the top, consider this gold signet ring from Seb Brown, inset with sapphire and pearl.

13. Dior x Sacai Gold and Pearl Bracelet.
The 2021 collab between the House of Dior and “it” brand Sacai was one of the hottest new product drops of this holiday season. The collection featured pearl necklaces, earrings and bracelets for men (many of which are now sold out). But you can still lay hands on this asymmetrical statement bracelet, featuring silver and gold-finish brass and resin pearls. Not gonna lie. We totally want one of these for our own jewelry box.
BUY NOW: $1,000.
14. MIKIMOTO x Comme des Garçons pearl necklace.
Legendary luxury jeweler Mikimoto teamed up last year with Comme des Garçons on an innovative project launched by Rei Kawakubo: to adorn “Men in Pearls.” The brands go on to say, though, that their true purpose is to “adorn the necks of all, regardless of age or gender.” This necklace from the collection features 6mm Akoya cultured pearls with three safety pins set in silver. Count us in.
