Brides coming to Pearl Code usually have a clear idea of their wedding dress, and sometimes even their shoes. However, when it comes to jewelry – especially earrings – the questions arise:
“If my hair is down, does it make sense to wear earrings?”
“My dress has a lot of details. Should I go for something simple?”
“I don’t want something classic, but also not too extravagant…”
In our experience, choosing bridal earrings always depends on three main factors: the style of your dress, your hairstyle, and your comfort. Below, you'll find the most popular bridal earring styles in 2025, accompanied by practical recommendations from our Jewelry Advisers.
🔹 Small Earrings with Round Pearls
Brides who prefer delicate jewelry often choose small earrings with round pearls. These earrings pair beautifully with dresses featuring lace, embroidery, or other detailed embellishments. Small, well-proportioned pearls (6-8 mm) mounted in silver or gold settings add a subtle luminosity to your face and complement your look without drawing attention away from the dress. These earrings also work perfectly within bridal jewelry sets.
✔ Best suited if: your dress has decorative details around the bust or neckline, and your hairstyle doesn't completely cover your face.
🔹 Long Drop Earrings
Brides seeking an elegant yet contemporary look frequently opt for drop earrings. These earrings have the advantage of subtle movement, making them ideal for simple dresses, strapless gowns, or off-shoulder designs. They are also versatile enough to complement various hairstyles.
✔ Ideal if you appreciate simplicity but wish to stand out subtly.
🔹 Large Earrings with Baroque and Keshi Pearls
In 2025, baroque and Keshi pearls are increasingly popular among brides who desire handmade jewelry with a unique appearance. Their irregular shapes add character, pairing exceptionally well with minimalist dresses.
✔ Choose statement earrings with baroque pearls in ivory or white, set in gold-filled or vermeil metal for a distinctive accent.
🔹 Ear Cuffs – Reinterpreted Style
More brides are exploring earrings that deviate from traditional styles yet remain wedding-appropriate. Ear cuffs have become a favorite due to their modern aesthetic, providing visual interest without overwhelming your look. These pieces typically follow the ear's contour or cover the lobe graphically yet subtly. They can be worn individually or paired with small studs.
✔ Best suited for minimalist styling, clear-cut dresses without excessive details. Ideal for brides seeking a discreet yet memorable modern touch.
🔹 Earrings with Gems
Some brides opt for earrings featuring gemstones like rose quartz or topaz to infuse their look with color and personality. These models are perfect for themed weddings or when the bridal bouquet includes colored accents.
✔ Recommendation: Handmade silver earrings with semi-precious stones are an excellent choice for brides looking for alternatives to classic pearls.
