I’ve always known pearls to be a chic fashion accessory. Ever since I was a child, my grandmother would remind me that pearls are appropriate for any occasion (an expression she may have borrowed from Jackie O). But this year, their timeless elegance has gone beyond the world of fashion and – thanks to Anthropologie – entered the realm of holiday decorating.
Leave it to Anthropologie to transform this beloved, classic accessory into something that can dress our homes in the most stylish way. It’s my favorite store for holiday decor, always offering the most whimsical themes – and this year, The Pearl Aesthetic has truly captured my heart. The collection is filled with beautiful pieces that nod to my grandmother’s tried-and-true saying, but one standout buy is the effortlessly elegant Cascading Pearl Tree Topper. It creates the illusion that you’ve draped your Christmas tree in individual strands of pearls, when in reality a single topper brings the whole look together in seconds.
Made with several hand-strung strands of pearls that meet at a central tree topper, this cascading arrangement is truly a sight to behold. It measures 78" in length, making it the perfect decoration for a 6' Christmas tree. Plus, during Anthropologie’s Black Friday event, this tree topper is 30% off – the discount applies automatically when you add it to your cart.
It’s no wonder that Anthropologie has chosen pearls as the star of its holiday decor collection – timeless and elegant Christmas displays seem to be a leading holiday decor trend this season, and nothing is more timeless or elegant than a string of pearls. With other classic styles – from the Ralph Lauren Christmas aesthetic to the growing number of designers embracing pared-back, sleek holiday arrangements – pearls make for the perfect complementary decorative detail.
Aside from its classy and tasteful look, this cascading tree topper is wonderfully easy to add to your tree. All you need to do is mount it to the top branch of your Christmas tree, drape the strands among the middle branches, and voilà – in moments, you’ve created a fashionable and festive display that could rival even the chicest holiday outfit.
Because of its substantial pearl detailing, I’d argue that with this topper in place, you don’t even need to add Christmas ornaments – simply string lights around your tree as you normally would, then mount the topper afterwards. Just as you’d let a draped pearl necklace be the star of an outfit, the same approach applies to this cascading pearl arrangement. I would recommend hiding the metal topper so it doesn't spoil the illusion, and the matching Pearled Satin Bow Tree Topper would be the perfect choice.
