Pearl backdrop necklaces are having a moment and not just in the bridal world. These gorgeous accessories are ideal for a range of occasions, including everyday wear.
Whether you want to pair it with an open backed summer dress, jeans and a top, a sexy bikini or a formal dress, pearl backdrop necklaces are versatile enough to match the look.
Here’s what you need to know about wearing a pearl back necklace.
Pearl Backdrop Necklace Styles
Pearl backdrop necklaces come in a range of styles. From dramatic to more minimalist designs, there’s a wide variety of designs on offer.
Here are some of the most common styles:
1- The Pearl Backdrop Choker

From the front, the pearl choker backdrop looks like a regular pearl strand necklace. However, the magic happens at the back. From where the pearl necklace clasps together, there’s an extension that hangs down your back.
This could be single, double or even three-layered and of varying lengths. Some prefer to go for a pearl strand for the back extension while others prefer a simple chain with pearls threaded through.
The pearl choker is classic and traditional, but the back extension adds a modern twist to this jewelry staple.
2- Spaced Pearl Backdrop Necklace

If a strand of pearls is a little too traditional for your liking, try a spaced pearl necklace. Here the pearls are set apart from each other at regular intervals, with the focus on the metal as much as on the pearl.
This type of pearl necklace has more movement, making it more elegant and feminine. It has a modern look to it and can be very stylish.
3- Pearl Back Clip-On Necklace
A pearl back necklace without the front is ideal if you want to embellish the back without having to wear a necklace. This would be a layered attachment that you would then fix to either shoulder or side of the outfit, from the back.
The result is a beautiful layered back accessory that doesn’t show in any way from the front. This kind of accessory is ideal if you want to wear large chandelier earrings and don’t want to make it too busy with a necklace in front.
Layered Pearl Backdrop Necklace

The layered pearl backdrop necklace is one of the most popular designs as it beautifully fills up the exposed back. Rather than a single back extension hanging straight down, here the chain comes down in a V-shape. This completely fills up the space and accentuates the backline of the dress or top.
Because pearls tend to suit any metal color, yellow, rose or white gold hues will pair beautifully. Simply pick the tone that suits your complexion the best.
When to Wear a Pearl Backdrop Necklace
This accessory is especially popular among brides who choose bridal dresses with exposed backs. It adds a touch of glamor to an otherwise un-accessorized part of the body. Pearls are also one of the most (if not the most) popular gems for bridal accessories.
However, pearl backdrop necklaces can also be worn with more casual outfits. Think summer dress with exposed back or a beautiful boho blouse with a low-cut back. And for those daring fashion trendsetters, a backdrop necklace can work with even a sexy bikini.
Ideally, you’d want to wear the necklace against your bare skin and not over fabric. But this all comes down to proper styling and if done well, it can still look amazing.
Why Wear Backdrop Necklaces?
Until recently, people didn’t really think about the back as an area that could be accessorized. But it turns out that a backdrop necklace can instantly elevate a simple dress or top and give it the wow factor.
Backdrop necklaces add sparkle and glamor to the back, making you look beautiful and dressed-up from all angles.
Because most of these necklaces are made from costume jewelry materials, they’re also very affordable, typically costing less than $100.
Where to Buy Pearl Backdrop Necklaces
To find a range of backdrop jewelry, it’s best to take your search to an online marketplace like Amazon or Etsy.
These sites have a range of pearl backdrop necklaces on offer in a variety of designs from different designers. Some of these designers allow you to customize your piece making it easy to get exactly what you want.
When buying a backdrop necklace, always check the length measurements carefully, and if you’re buying it with a particular dress in mind, then make sure the length complements the dress.
Always check for the returns policies just in case the necklace isn’t what you thought it would be.
