Drops, chandeliers, hoops, crawlers: this season is all about the statement earring. The Spring 2017 runways saw baubles aplenty — from tassels at Tory Burch to shoulder-grazing poms at Prada. With the power to instantly elevate the most basic of looks or transform your go-to cocktail dress, the statement earring will break you out of your winter style rut in no time.
SCULPTURAL DROPS

Calling to mind the ‘60s mod circa 2017, sculptural drops feel simultaneously retro-chic yet fashion forward. Marni’s metal sculptural drops are ultra-modern and architectural, grazing the shoulder blades. The COS black powder-coated metal drops are a sweet treat at $22 that is easy on the wallet, but high on style.
FUNKY CHANDELIER
(Tory Burch)
The classic chandelier has gotten a major (funky) makeover. Tassels, feathers, fringe… you name it. Tory Burch’s Spring 2017 chandeliers are vacay-perfect and absolutely not your grandmother’s chandeliers.
WATERFALL

Fendi’s asymmetrical earrings (a set comprised of a waterfall earring and coordinating ear crawler) can be worn both on one ear or split up for a funky and unique look. Who says your earrings have to match? For a more classic take on the trend, Tory Burch’s chic crystal waterfalls in shades of lavender are uber ladylike that would pair amazingly well with a light knit.
BALL DROPS
(Prada)
Prada banked big on the earring trend for Spring 2017 with an assortment of sequined ball drop earrings in a variety of colors and styles. From clustered marigolds to crystal embellished globes, metallic details and beautiful stones, Prada’s funky baubles are true works of art.
