As the new Wuthering Heights film opens on the eve of Valentine’s Day, romance and storytelling return to centre stage. Discover the meaning behind pearl jewellery, from silver pearl necklaces to timeless designs that celebrate love, emotion and jewellery with meaning that stays close to the heart.
Few love stories linger in the imagination quite like Wuthering Heights. Passionate, poetic and unapologetically intense, Emily Brontë’s tale has inspired generations to reflect on love that endures beyond time and circumstance. With the new Wuthering Heights film opening on the eve of Valentine’s Day, romance is once again centre stage – and so is jewellery that carries meaning, memory and emotion.
At Claudia Bradby, we believe jewellery should do more than sparkle. It should tell a story, hold sentiment and be with you always. In our experience, learning from our customers for over 25 years now, the carefully chosen gift lasts well beyond a heightened moment. And intentional giving is so much more powerful than a snatched panic buy.
Jewellery with Meaning: Storytelling, Romance and Emotional Connection
Claudia has a deep love of storytelling. It is at the heart of every design we create, and it’s why a new cinematic interpretation of Wuthering Heights feels so resonant for us. Stories shape how we feel, how we love and how we remember. Jewellery, when chosen thoughtfully, becomes part of that narrative.
In Wuthering Heights, love is not neat or fleeting – it is consuming and unforgettable. While we can’t advocate for the full intensity of the famous quote, “Be with me always; take any form; drive me mad,” we can wholeheartedly stand behind the sentiment “be with me always.” That idea lies at the very core of jewellery with meaning: a piece worn close to the skin, day after day, quietly connecting us to the one we love.
What could be closer to the one you love than a beautiful freshwater pearl design, rich with emotional resonance and timeless elegance?
Pearl Necklace Meaning: Why Pearls Symbolise Love, Romance and Longevity
Pearls have long been symbols of love, wisdom and emotional connection. The meaning of a pearl necklace goes far beyond its beauty. Pearls are formed slowly, layer by layer, over time – much like deep and lasting relationships. They represent loyalty, sincerity and affection, making them one of the most romantic gifts you can give.
A silver pearl necklace is especially evocative. Silver reflects clarity, intuition and calm, while pearls bring warmth and softness. Together, they create a balance that feels both modern and deeply romantic – perfect for expressing love in a way that feels personal rather than performative.
Whether gifted for Valentine’s Day, an anniversary or simply because, a pearl necklace becomes a constant companion. A reminder of love that doesn’t shout, but gently reassures.
Wuthering Heights Jewellery: Romantic Pearls and Storytelling on Screen
We are particularly excited to see how jewellery is used in the new Wuthering Heights film. Jewellery in period drama often tells a story all of its own – revealing status, emotion and inner turmoil without a single word spoken.
If early glimpses are anything to go by – including a striking shot of Margot Robbie wearing a luscious velvet choker with a pearl pendant and this sneak peek in British Vogue the jewellery promises to be outstanding.

This is Wuthering Heights jewellery at its most powerful: expressive, romantic and emotionally charged. Keep your eyes peeled – we suspect pearls will play a starring role.
Gifting Pearls: Why a Silver Pearl Necklace Is the Ultimate Romantic Gift
Romantic gifting has evolved. Today, it’s less about grand gestures and more about thoughtful choices. Jewellery that feels meaningful, wearable and emotionally connected resonates far more deeply than something chosen in haste.
A freshwater pearl necklace from Claudia Bradby is designed to be worn every day, not hidden away for special occasions. It becomes part of someone’s life – layered over knitwear, worn against bare skin, carried through moments both ordinary and extraordinary.
This is where jewellery with meaning truly comes alive. It’s not just about how it looks, but how it makes you feel: confident, connected, cherished.
Be With Me Always: Timeless Jewellery That Stays Close to the Heart
As Wuthering Heights returns to the big screen this Valentine’s season, we’re reminded that love stories endure because they speak to something universal. The desire to be known, to be remembered, to be close – always.
A pearl necklace may be a quiet expression of love, but it is a powerful one. Timeless, romantic and rich in meaning, it is a gift that stays – close to the heart, just as it should.
