1Sculptural Tortoiseshell Earrings

These oversize vegan tortoiseshell drop earrings by Kate Spade will look sophisticated in the office thanks to their simple shape and classic materials, but the bold minimalism means that they can seamlessly transition from work to weekend, too. Use them to jazz up a crisp white shirt, then wear them to brunch with a classic tee and distressed denim.

2A Pop Art Statement Hoop

Channel your inner Yayoi Kusama with these high-contrast pop art-inflected hoop earrings in black and white. Ideal for casual and creative dress codes alike, these lightweight earrings make a statement without screaming.

3A Tiny, Sparkly Cuff For Everyday Wear

These sweet little cubic zirconia and 14-karat gold hoops come in three colors (including rose gold) and are perfect for days when you want to look and feel effortlessly put together — and the emphasis is on effortless. Throw these on with anything to complete your look, or layer them with other earrings if you have multiple piercings.

4Sparkly, Elegant Ear Climbers

Statements don't have to dangle to make an impact, as evinced by these edgy-chic crystal crawlers made with cubic zirconia and sterling silver. Their low profile makes them great for daily wear, but the impact of seven sparklers also makes them appropriate for formal functions when you want to be noticed.

5A (Surprisingly Lightweight) Desert Chic Pair

Statement earrings can get heavy after a few hours, but not with this cleverly designed pair. These patterned drop earrings look eye-catching and enormous on the model, but their heft is all visual: The snakeskin portion is actually a printed fabric for comfortable all-day wear.

6Eclectic Bee Stud Earrings

Coordinating your earrings with your Gucci Aces qualifies as extra, but these bumble bee studs are so adorable that nobody could blame you. These are small enough to be discreet, large enough to get noticed. 14-karat gold-plated sterling silver means you're investing in materials as well as design, so you're assured of a quality product.

7A Pair Of Elegant Day-To-Night Pavé Drops

These petite pavé earrings are elegant enough to wear to the office but pack enough sparkle for date night, too. They come in four colors, including candy bright pink and aqua and a clear crystal version that can transition elegantly to formal occasions.

8Timeless Swarovski Studs You Can Size To Suit

Swarovski zirconia sparkles fiercely in these classic round studs. You can customize their size to your taste: choose from one all the way up to eight carats in total weight. Whether you opt for a delicate accent or notice-me dazzle, with a silver setting and gold post, they're made from quality, hypoallergenic materials.

9Artsy Wood & Lucite Shoulder-Dusters

Lightweight wood, lucite materials, and a neutral color palette make these statement earrings shockingly easy to pair with the outfits and accessories that are already in your closet. Natural materials in organic shapes beg to be matched with similarly tactile clothes: Think airy fringe and nubby knits for Georgia O'Keeffe in the desert chic.

10A Swingy Acrylic Statement Earring In Tons Of Colors

‌Acrylic is fabulous for people who hate heavy earrings but still want pieces with major impact. This pair of elegant drop earrings comes in seven colors, including neutrals like the leopard seen here and brighter colors such as deep malachite and abstract floral tones.

11A Quality Pearl Stud

Consider these the little black dress of your jewelry collection. Choose from seven sizes, between 6 millimeters to 12 millimeters, and between 14-karat white or yellow gold. These luminous studs from The Pearl Source in Los Angeles come with a certificate of guarantee for quality and authenticity, too. Choose a larger pair to make an elegant statement or a smaller set for stealthy glamour.

12Contemporary Wire Drop Earrings In Bold & Neutral Colors

Modern minimalism meets light-as-air shimmer on whisper-thin wire. This sleek, affordable design pairs equally well with a variety of looks, from laidback casual to after-work chic. Choose from seven resin colorways including black-and-white, tortoiseshell, and a brilliant blue with amber flecks.

13An Edgy Chain That Looks A Lot More Expensive Than They Are

Tough chains discover their softer side when cast in a warm rose gold on these simple but statement-making earrings. A fantastic option for day-to-night occasions, they're a great way to test-drive chunky chains without making a major splurge.

14A Festive Fringe Pair In Earth Tones

Fun fringe juxtaposed against wooden beads give texture and movement to an otherwise neutral palette on these show-stopping but unfussy chandelier earrings. Earthy tones rendered in a large-scale design are perfect for entertaining at home, a casual brunch, or great Instagrams when you're on vacation in a tropical paradise.

15A Classic Set Of Hoops In An On-Trend Tortoiseshell print

If you loved the swirled colorways on the wire drop earrings above but prefer something with a lower profile and a classic shape, these chic resin hoops offer a kick of color in a smaller 1.5-inch footprint. The neutral options including a range of tortoiseshell iterations are the most popular, but the bright red, pink, and lavender are a way to turn up the volume in very on-trend colors. Reviewers rave about how comfortable and lightweight these earrings are.

16Semiprecious Cushion-Cut Studs

Choose from either 6 or 8 millimeters and a rainbow of colors to make these classic stud earrings your own — you can even choose between yellow or white 10-karat gold. From garnet and peridot to unexpected gems like a smokey green amethyst, each of these studs made from semiprecious gemstones is inspected by a graduate gemologist for quality.

17Whimsical Dazzlers That Are Surprisingly Versatile

Glass crystal in saturated hues make for playful glamour with a twist, and these adorable pineapple earrings can be worn all year long. Although they look like statement-makers, these earrings are actually quite moderately sized. Made of hypoallergenic materials, you also won't believe the price on these.
