The world is healing and big, bold earrings have reemerged, Hallelujah. For several years we opted for smaller studs and cute huggie hoops for safety’s sake – there’s nothing more terrifying than getting an ornate chandelier earring stuck in the loops of a mask. We’re all about preserving our health and the health of our poor ear lobes. In 2023, we are seeing less and less fashion and jewelry involving matching and styling around masks and earrings are starting to become a more practical piece of wardrobe. We were starting to miss the iconic way a long, icy earring can upgrade a look to the nines. Take a look at some of our favorite bold and dangling earring choices for Fall 2023.
Swing From the Chandeliers
Starting off strong with this icy number is the Deutsch Signature Diamond Bow Chandelier Drop Earrings. Veritably covered in gleaming white diamonds, these chandelier drop earrings mix whimsical shapes with a sumptuous shine. This earring comes in two parts that combine to make an eye-catching design. The first part of the earring is the static fastener, which resembles a ribbon in a delicate bow. Rather than velvet or silk, this curving ribbon consists of pure white gold and a brilliant round diamond pavé that lines the entire bow. Hanging from the knot of the white gold ribbon design is the second, dynamic piece of the earring. A strand of multi-shaped diamonds hangs from a chain, granting the Diamond Bow Chandelier Drop Earrings movement and whimsy.
Tourmaline Tenacity
We are living for the colorful nature of the Watermelon Tourmaline Earrings by Lauren K. Minimilistically faceted in warm yellow gold, the watermelon tourmaline gemstones look good enough to eat. True to the unique Lauren K style, each gemstone is left as unrefined as possible to let the natural shapes and inclusions of the tourmaline shine through. The vibrant colors give a delightful send-off to the bright pinks and greens of summer. The whimsy and boldness of the watermelon tourmaline is juxtaposed by the luxurious studs that top the entire design. An elegant square of yellow gold holds nine brilliant round white diamonds in tight rows, bringing out the dazzling nature of these dangling, colorful earrings.
Chasing Waterfalls
The future is here – and it’s shiny. These Waterfall Three Row Diamond Earrings by Kwiat has us going against all of TLC’s sage advice. Three chains of white gold and diamonds dangle from a central stud on each of these stunning earrings. The top brilliant round diamonds are smaller and grow larger as they reach the bottom of the chain, giving the effect of the mouth of a waterfall flowing down to the rocks below and creating a billowing mist at the bottom. The brushed white gold and the bezel diamond settings give this nature-inspired piece a touch of millennial futurism – she’s giving major Fifth Element vibes. Whether it’s for the clean finish of chrome and ice or the waterfall imagery, the Waterfall Three Row Diamond Earrings by Kwiat is not an earring to sleep on.
It’s All About the Climb
Looking for something a little different? The Pavé Tear Drop Meira T Ear Climber is a bold earring choice that will transform outfits and turn heads. Instead of dangling delicately from an earlobe, these unique sweethearts cling to the cartilage and give the effect of a playful vine of ivy curling its way up a trellis. Each pear-shaped white gold leaf hosts a cluster of brilliant round white diamonds, bringing shine and elegance to the design. These ear climbers are star-studded as well as diamond-studded – they are a red carpet favorite of actor Daisy Ridley.
Rich in Radiance
Shine like the sun in the next great design from Norman Silverman - the yellow diamond and white diamond Norman Silverman Earrings, available at Deutsch Fine Jewelry. Each of the four bold, radiant-cut yellow diamonds acts as a centerpiece to the stunning white gold frames. They are surrounded in a delicate white diamond pave, and host a vivacious cluster of white marquis diamonds. With the feathered cluster resembling some designs of the golden age, she’s serving the opulence of the Gilded Age with a modern shine.
