Lele Sadoughi Style Guide

MOTHER OF PEARL TRILLIUM STUD EARRINGS

Delicate mother-of-pearl Trillium studs with 14k gold-plated centers, refined enough to wear from morning meetings to evening cocktails. Their soft pearl glow and half-inch scale make them the ultimate layering piece—subtle enough to anchor statement headbands and necklaces, polished enough to stand alone.

10 Ways to Wear It

1. Stack two delicate gold chains of varying lengths with the Trillium studs and a sleek low bun—an effortless, proportion-perfect desk-to-dinner look.
2. Let a bold jeweled headband be the hero and let the mother-of-pearl studs whisper underneath, paired with a crisp white tee and high-waisted trousers.
3. Layer a silk scarf at the neck in a soft foulard knot, then let the pearl studs glow against the collarbone with a chunky gold bangle on the wrist.
4. Style with a stack of fine gold huggies in a second piercing and a single silk hair ribbon—modern, romantic, intentionally undone.
5. Pair with an oversized gold cuff and a sleek center-parted ponytail to balance volume on the wrist with softness at the ear.
6. Wear with a chunky chain necklace and an exaggerated bow hair clip—the studs become the quiet luxury moment in a high-impact look.
7. Anchor a bold crystal headband with the pearl studs and a slip dress for a gallery opening where jewelry should feel collected, not costume.
8. Pair with sculptural gold drop earrings in a second piercing and a low chignon dressed with a velvet ribbon for layered ear styling.
9. Style with a layered pearl-and-gold lariat and a half-up twist secured with a crystal-embellished clip—bride-to-be brunch energy.
10. Let the studs carry the jewelry and pair them with a printed silk headscarf tied turban-style, oversized sunglasses, and a trench.

Styling Tips

• Mother-of-pearl reads beautifully in natural daylight—lean into soft, sunlit settings for the most flattering glow.
• These are stud-earring companions: let your headband, necklace, or scarf do the talking while the Trillium adds quiet polish.
• Store flat in the custom striped pouch to protect the mother-of-pearl finish and the 14k gold plating from scratching.
• At 1/2" diameter, they're scaled to layer with huggies in a second piercing without overwhelming the ear.
