Pearls have a reputation for being precious. Proper. Even a little prim. But we’d argue they’ve never been cooler or more personal than they are now.

At GLDN, our pearl pieces are designed to feel lived in, layered, and loved. Think effortless elegance, not stiff tradition. Whether you’re adding a gold pearl necklace to your everyday stack or gifting a pearl on a necklace to someone special, our collection makes it easy to wear your light, and make it entirely your own.

Pearls, Reimagined: Gold Pearl Necklaces You’ll Actually Want to Wear

Most of our pearl necklaces are handmade, made-to-order, and designed to reflect your story. Below, meet our bestselling styles and learn how to choose the perfect one for your vibe.

The Pleine Lune Necklace

Minimal, striking, best seller 

Let’s start with the icon. Pleine Lune is a bestseller for a reason: it's understated and luminous, like a full moon on a clear night. The delicate chain catches the light beautifully, and the single round pearl gives it that just-right polish. It layers effortlessly but is strong enough to stand on its own. If you’re not sure where to begin, start here.

Mini Pearl Strand Necklace

Personalized, versatile, bridesmaid favorite

This isn’t your standard strand. It’s dainty, dreamy, and fully customizable, add charms, initials, or symbols to make it yours. The small freshwater pearls give it a soft shimmer, while the gold accents keep it feeling modern. We especially love this one as a bridesmaid gift or meaningful birthday piece. Sweet on its own, or even better in a layered look.

Floating Pearl Necklace

Delicate, romantic, gifting favorite

Proof that less really is more. The Floating Pearl features a single natural pearl suspended on a fine chain, giving the illusion that it’s floating against your skin. It’s one of our most gifted pieces for a reason: timeless, personal, and perfect for everything from weddings to everyday wear.

Pearl Bubble Necklace

Textural, modern, easy to wear

Meet the laid-back cousin of the classic strand. The Pearl Bubble Necklace uses small, naturally irregular pearls spaced along a gold chain for an airy, dimensional feel. This one is perfect for casual styling, think white tees, linen dresses, or layered with chunkier chains for contrast.

Pearl Bubble Earrings

Wear-everywhere studs with a twist

Not a necklace, but too good to leave out. These tiny pearl studs have subtle gold accents and just enough texture to catch the light without trying too hard. Perfect for everyday wear or pairing with the Pearl Bubble Necklace for a cohesive, low-effort look.

 Why Gold and Pearls Work So Well Together

Gold and pearl is a combination that’s somehow both elevated and earthy. The warmth of gold tones down the formality of pearls, making them feel more wearable and modern. Each gold pearl necklace in our collection walks the line between refined and relaxed, which means you can style it your way, no matter what your day looks like.

Pearl Jewelry That’s Made to Last

Every pearl we use is natural and unique, just like the people who wear them. We lean into variation, character, and that perfectly imperfect shape that makes each necklace feel more like a one-of-a-kind find.

And because so many of our pieces are handmade in our Washington studio, we take care to make sure each detail from the chain finish to the clasp to the charm placement—feels just right.

Looking for more ways to personalize? Many of our pearl necklaces (especially the Mini Pearl Strand) can be customized with initials, tags, or birthstones. That means your necklace won’t just look good, it’ll mean something, too.
