The men's pearl necklace, a jewel that breaks the rules

Long reserved for women, the men's pearl necklace has become a staple of men's style. Worn by artists, athletes and fashion designers, it adds a touch of originality to a simple outfit, whether a white t-shirt, an open shirt or a denim jacket.

Our collection brings together pearl necklaces for men to wear every day: classic pearl strand, half pearl half chain necklace, double chain with pearls or cross pendant. The chains are mostly stainless steel, with pearly-finish beads that catch the light without being too much.

Which pearl necklace should a man choose?

The pearl strand

This is the most iconic style: a single strand of evenly sized white pearls around the neck. Our men's pearl necklace comes in several pearl sizes (6 to 12 mm) and lengths, for a finer or bolder look.

The half pearl half chain necklace

Can't decide between pearls and links? The half pearl half chain necklace combines a pearl strand on one side and a Cuban link chain on the other. The contrast is original and more masculine than a pearl strand alone.

The double chain and the pendant

The men's double pearl chain layers two strands for a styled effect, without having to match several necklaces. The men's pearl cross necklace adds a pendant for a more symbolic style.

Which pearl size and which length?

The pearl diameter completely changes the style of the necklace:

Pearl sizeLookFor whom?
6 mmFine and subtleA first pearl necklace, a minimalist style
8 mmBalancedThe most versatile choice, for everyday wear
10 to 12 mmBoldA strong style, streetwear or hip-hop

As for length, a 45 cm (18") necklace sits close to the base of the neck, like a choker. At 50 cm (20"), it falls on the collarbones: the most common length for men. At 55 to 60 cm (22-24"), it drops onto the chest and layers easily with another chain.

How should a man wear a pearl necklace?

On its own, with a plain t-shirt or a V-neck, the pearl necklace becomes the focal point of the outfit. It's the easiest way to start.

Layered, it pairs very well with a longer chain. Wear the pearl strand short (45-50 cm) and add a men's silver chain in 55 or 60 cm, or a men's gold chain to play with contrast.

With a shirt, leave one or two buttons open so the pearls just show. The look stays sharp without being too formal.

For a more urban look, mix it with our hip-hop chains and a men's chain bracelet, some of which also mix pearls and links.
