When it comes to earring styles this season, prepare to go bigger and different or stay home. Discover the latest and trendiest earring designs being seen now on top fashion runways and in women's fashion magazines. Bold colors and large geometric shapes, gigantic hoop earrings, silver studs, big diamond dazzlers and hot asymmetrical earrings are all the rage with no sign of slowing down anytime soon.
It appears that 1980s jewelry and accessories have made their way into today's fashion circles. Fun, flirty, and colorful dangle earrings, large drop pearl earwear, two different-sized hoops in one ear, and chandelier earrings of flashy gemstones have made a huge comeback. Handmade earring styles are also particularly popular this season.
Earrings are captivating the masses. Just about anything goes these days, and lightweight materials are being used in some of the most extravagantly large pieces. Beads, shells, or hammered gold, silver, and copper ear cuffs, along with crazy geometrical shapes, are current fashion favorites. Wear mismatched earrings, or just wear one delightfully eye-catching earring on one side. The more drama and details, the better.
Birthstone earrings are very chic this season, and healing gemstones and crystals are also flying off the shelves. Best of all, most of the trendy earring designs today are low-cost. Since many of these styles came from another era, you, your mother or your grandmother may have what you desire hidden away in a jewelry box somewhere. Shop estate and yard sales for vintage finds that are often sold for pocket change.
Silver earrings in teardrop designs are especially enchanting. You can also find delightful, handcrafted earrings on online craft sites like Etsy, or buy your own supplies and make your own. Zodiac and celestial earrings are a huge hit right now, and moons, suns, and stars are being seen everywhere. Bright colors are another hot fad, and fashion models are wearing rich hues, like magenta or cobalt blue, for all their accessories. They coordinate their eyeshadow, lipstick, and nail polish for a bold and stunning impact.
If big and bold are too much for your discerning jewelry tastes, don't worry. There are smaller earring designs that should work. Try extra small hoops with an elegant ear cuff of small diamonds, or wear chain-linked earrings that are small and pretty. Try wearing slender, curvy-shaped earrings of silver that drop into a dark black or blue stone. Consider repeating shapes like a triple oval pair of hoop earrings that glitter with diamonds for some added razzle-dazzle.
Mixed metal earrings are another trend that's burning red-hot. Personalized jewelry, including earrings, is timeless and makes fantastic and thoughtful gifts. Charm earrings are another great idea for yourself or to gift another. Choose charms that mean something special to the wearer.
