For the past couple of seasons, the necklace has been the star of the accessories show. Now it is time to shift the attention a little higher to the earlobes. Delicate gold and silver studs and hoops have been replaced this season with bold, eye-catching baubles with interesting shapes and materials. Read on for three standout picks to suit any style.
1. Pyramid Posts
These earrings made of abalone shells and rhinestones are pretty, but when combined with gunmetal and a pointed shape, they become an edgy alternative to the everyday stud. Loren Hope Venus Studs, $68; lorenhope.com
2. Gilded Fringe Drops
Fringe is a major fashion trend for the summer, and if you would rather not wear it on your sandals or skirts, try it with your accessories instead. A gold drop earring is a great way to dress up a simple outfit. Gilded Gazebo Earrings, $178; anthropologie.com
3. Quirky Statement Studs
Now these are a pair of earrings that make a true statement. Gift these as a fun piece for the beauty lover in your life or wear when you want to add some spice to your look. Kate Spade New York Kiss and Make-Up Earrings, $48; bloomingdales.com –Angela Bobo
