I wouldn’t really call myself a jewellery person. I have my wedding/engagement ring, a few statement rings and bracelets that I wear on occasion, and my diamond studs. That’s pretty much it. But when I had to style clothes for a fashion shoot I kept on coming across earrings so gorgeous that they needed their own post.
You could say that earrings are having a great season: There are sophisticated and graphic shapes that follow the shape of the ear, pops of colour and even ones that convey personal messages from one ear to the other. I feel that earrings are having their moment and I’m jumping right in with a few of my favourites.
THE GRAPHIC EARRING
I know the choker necklace is considered the must-have accessory this season (at least that’s what Vogue, Marie Claire and Kendall Jenner are saying), but for some reason I just can’t get behind a piece of jewellery that has to be tied to my throat. Instead, I’ll be wearing these look-at-me earpieces that really make a modern statement.
THE PERSONALIZED-MESSAGE EARRING
Wearing a piece of jewellery that’s truly personal (think about getting your initials, your kid’s initials…) makes it even more unique and special.
THE POP OF COLOUR EARRING
Now is the time for moments with colour and interesting shapes that make others want to lean in for a closer look.
THE BLING EARRING
Of course, loads of sparkle will perk up any look, especially in unexpected shapes and designs.
