A pair of nice earrings can be the finishing touch to every outfit, the dazzling cream on top of your look. Big or small, bangles or studs, jewels for lobes of the organ you hear with add a luxurious note to whatever it is you’re wearing, wherever you’re wearing it to. But be warned, as earrings should be paired with careful consideration for the rest of your ensemble. You don’t want to overdue it, yet going too understated might, quite literally, not always make the statement you wish to make. All that said, we figured it’s about time we made a list of the season’s best earrings – pieces that ‘ll work for both day and evening attire, formal and casual.

Anni Lu is the brainchild of former Danish fashion editor Helle Vestergaard Poulsen. Named after her mother and her daughter, respectively, the decade-old label makes fashionable jewelry at mid-tear prices, their Eye of the Tiger Hoops among them. Made of resin and 18kt gold-plated brass, these almost wooden-looking half-rings make for a great accessory that can journey with you effortlessly from work days to weekends. Qualitatively, the materials prove rather high-end – how they fare in terms of sustainability, however, remains unclear.

Founded in New York City, the company has been pouring out styles for women of many generations.

These might not be up everyone’s alley, but those that enjoy a bit of bling and glam should make a move on these. Despite being in the business for so long, KJL is disappointingly secretive in regards to its eco-efforts – or possible lack thereof.

Another take on the infamous cable-link chain are these Topshop, drop-down earrings. Inspired by the oh-so-ordinary zipper, these dangly, bi-colored pins can supply your office look with a cooky edge, or lend a cocktail dress that extra speck of drama. At this low of a price, the only question is whether or not the fun design overpowers Topshop’s controversial reputation as a (former) fast-fashion behemoth. The answer is, we guess, up to you.
