Although we’re still seeing the trend for “barely there” accessories continue into AW10,chandelier earrings appear to be making a return, giving a touch of glamour to an outfit.
Whether you’re wearing an up-do for a formal event, or have opted for the more tousled surfer style which is so hot this season, chandelier earrings really can finish off your outfit.
Here’s Ivanka Trump, snapped at the 2010 Women’s Jewellery Association Awardsfor Excellence. Looking gorgeous in an aquamarine Grecian style outfit, the dress has an added bit of sparkle, thanks to the gorgeous brooch pinned to her waistline ( a greatfashion tip, girls) and her stunning chandelier earrings.
To copy Ivanka’s look, I’ve chosen some pieces from Seasonsonline’s collection, which could help transform a basic LBD, or simply add a funky touch to a more casual ensemble.
These entirely crystal flutter earrings are relatively understated, yet still provide that vital drop and sparkle. Set on a silver tone and finished with triple silver strands, they are absolute refinement and a bargain at £4.99.
If you’re looking for some earrings which will literally turn heads, these luscious green crystal and brass chandelier earrings are just the job. Set on aged brass tone, the square motif and triple strand drops with two tone green crystal rhinestones will make you look a million dollars! Priced at £6.99.
For a slightly rockier look, these black and white chain drop earrings are decorated with beading and feature black and silver suspended chains. For only £3.50, you can make your look as unique as you are.
And finally, if you’re going for that vintage look, you need something understated and classy, whilst still retaining that glamour and sophistication. So what about these fabulous purple amethyst stone long drop earrings? I’d be inclined to wear these either with a twenties flapper-style dress or a more luxurious purple velvet/lace combo, which is set to be hot news for AW10.
The light purple crystals and mix of colourful amethyst stones merge together to form flower motifs and the glamorous long drop is created by a line of crystals and double metallic bead chain drops. I think this is one of my most favourite pieces out of our entire earring collection and the earrings are priced at only £7.99.
