Baroque Pearls Are the New (Old) Jewelry Trend You’re About to See Everywhere

It feels weird to call something as classic as pearls a trend. But right now the iridescent orbs are having a serious moment, particularly the irregular iteration known as baroque pearls. (They were particularly popular during the Baroque Period of the 17th and 18th centuries, which actually got its name from the pearl, not the other way around.) In their 2019 incarnation, there’s something tactile and ethereal that feels thoroughly modern. Here, ten pieces that will make you want to…go for baroque. (We’ll see ourselves out.)
