From sleek, modern silhouettes to colorful, sculptural designs, an eye-catching earring is a surefire way to give an outfit a whole new vibe from one day to the next. Plus, the right pair can completely uplift that jeans-and-sweater uniform you probably fall into from time to time. That said, you may already be creeping to the top of your shopping budget after making all your must-have spring purchases, leaving you with less funds to designate to a new duo of danglers. But, as luck would have it, there are plenty of chic, cheap statement earrings available right now to scoop up ahead of the new season.

This time of year, it's easier than ever to fall into an outfit rut; after all, the excitement of creating cozy winter looks has worn off and it isn't quite warm enough yet to wear all your new buys. An easy fix to upgrade your looks ASAP? A statement earring. And while the word "cheap" can give off a certain connotation, it's definitely only speaking to affordability in this case, as the selected head-turning styles are sneakily expensive looking. In fact, you may be shocked to see that their price tags all read under $50.

The pearl jewelry trend has been going strong for the last season, and by the looks of the new arrivals, it has no intention of slowing down any time soon. So though you may have a dainty design or two in your jewelry box already, bring more luster into your look with this freshwater pearl drop style from Anthropologie for $48. Or, give your classic hoops a rest and switch in this pearl-adorned pair from J.Crew that'll only set you back $29.50.
