The classic string of pearls is getting an instant update this season. Layer long pearl necklaces with metal chains or with even more pearl strands of different sizes for a funky mix-and-match vibe. A single strand of pearls livens up Ciara's combo of chain necklaces. Rihanna takes pearls to the edge by piling them on in varying sizes and lengths. Just remember to avoid pairing pearls with other traditionally preppy picks, like a pastel cardigan.
