The G List: #2 - Statement Earrings: My Year-Round Go-To
Confession time: I live for statement earrings. Forget the “seasonal accessory” nonsense—these babies are my go-to all year round. And by all year, I mean January through December, no breaks. Some people feel naked without their phones. Me? I feel incomplete without a pair of over-the-top, dangly masterpieces grazing my collarbones, making me feel like I’ve got my life together, even when my Wi-Fi isn’t working.
So, why are statement earrings my favorite? They’re the ultimate outfit game-changer. Let’s say you’re in your favorite old jeans and a basic tee. You throw on a pair of attention-grabbing earrings, and suddenly you’ve transformed into someone who knows how to host a spontaneous dinner party. Earrings don’t just complete a look—they’re the punctuation mark at the end of your sartorial sentence. A bold, italicized, all-caps period.
Now that we’re clear on the why, let’s dive into the what. I’ve curated a list of my absolute favorite statement earrings that I’m currently obsessed with (and yes, you can shop them all—because, of course, I’m not here to gatekeep). Get ready for some serious ear candy.
1. Soru Jewellery Coco Earrings
If you’re a sucker for a little sparkle, the Coco Earrings are your new best friend. They’re like mini disco balls for your ears—but make it elegant. The mix of crystals and pearls adds a touch of sophistication to an otherwise super fun vibe. Pair them with a silk slip dress or your favorite oversized blazer and voilà—you’re ready for anything.
2. Sonia Petroff Liana Earrings
Gold, bold, and totally retro. These Sonia Petroff beauties give me major vintage vibes, and I am here for it. The snake-like design makes them a statement piece, but the sleek silhouette ensures they stay elegant rather than OTT. If you want to channel a bit of Old Hollywood glam, this is your pair.
3. The YSSO L’Onda Sterling Silver Earrings
For my silver girls, meet your new obsession. These wave-inspired sterling silver earrings from The YSSO are minimal yet dramatic—basically, the ultimate contradiction. Wear them with a crisp white shirt for that effortless “I just threw this on” vibe, even though we all know you’ve planned this look for days.
4. Soru Jewellery Gold Mandorla Earrings
Mandorla means “almond” in Italian, and these earrings are just as sweet as the name suggests. The pearl drops combined with gold detailing make them perfect for any occasion—day or night.
5. Soru Jewellery Silver Mandorla Earrings
A silver version for those who love a cool-toned moment. These are the type of earrings that turn heads when you walk into a room.
6. Sonia Petroff Cascata Earrings
Talk about a waterfall of gold. The Cascata Earrings are dramatic, regal, and unapologetically bold. They’re the kind of earrings that demand attention (but in the chicest way possible). Perfect for when you want to channel your inner goddess and own the room. Pro tip: let these earrings do the talking by keeping the rest of your outfit simple.
7. The YSSO Flower Bud Gold-Plated Earrings
These flower bud earrings are like wearing art on your ears. The organic shape and gold-plated finish are effortlessly chic, making them the kind of accessory that elevates any outfit. Plus, they’ll give off that “I found this in a boutique while traveling through Europe” vibe, even if you got them online (your secret’s safe with me).
8. Destree Multicolor Statement Earrings
These are for the color-loving maximalists. Destree’s multicolored earrings are playful, bold, and oh-so-fun. Perfect for days when you want to embrace a pop of color and maybe feel a little more daring. Pair them with a monochrome outfit to let them steal the show, or go all out with clashing prints. Either way, you’re winning.

Looking for a touch of elegance? The Amalia Earrings, with their pearl drop and detailed gold accents, are exactly what you need. These are the perfect “day to night” earrings that work for meetings, dates, and everything in between. Add these to your collection and you’ll never be without the perfect accessory.
10. The YSSO Cote Gold-Plated Earrings
Sculptural, sleek, and just a little bit edgy—these Cote gold-plated earrings are for the minimalist who still wants to make a statement. Their architectural design makes them feel like a modern art piece, but in the most wearable way. If you’re into subtle drama, these are for you.
