The F.A.B. Report: The Statement Earring

by cheapchica11 on April 11, 2012

The latest trend in jewelry gives an instantly glamorous transformation to any subtle ensemble…we’re talking about the statement earring and the bigger the better!

Molly Sims toned down her printed maxi with a black blazer, but added an unexpected bold pop of color with turquoise earrings. I love how she let her earrings spotlight her look, with a sleek ponytail, and no added jewelry.

If your style is all about classic separates paired with bold statement pieces, this trend is definitely for you and you can find this trend at every price point…

For more of a splurge, these chandelier earrings by Kendra Scott would be a great addition to your wardrobe…they’re the perfect shade of turquoise that goes with just about everything in your Spring/Summer wardrobe! And just think how good they’d look with a little Tangerine Tango!

If you love this season’s neon pops of color, but want a less risky version of the trend, why not try this pair that looks almost identical to Molly’s for under $20

The key to wearing big turquoise earrings is avoiding anything that looks too Southwestern-inspired.  Instead of pairing them with a silver tone, opt for gold or a brass metal.  You also want to avoid actual turquoise stones and look for something turquoise colored for a more modern take on the stone.

Now if you’re in the mood for all out glam, this pair for under $50 from MANGO is the only accessory you need for a night out!

But remember, Molly styled these right by going minimal on all other jewelry. When you’re earrings are this bold, you don’t really need much else so let them stand alone!

Yeah! Love that the statement earring is in.
Being Indian/Pakistani and having gone to dozens of South Asian weddings where big jewelry is the norm, it will be nice to bust out my Indian pieces to work and play! :)
