It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of statement jewellery,
especially massive (and often very heavy and painful) earrings. I won’t lie, I can’t
say no to a Lily Allen gold chav hoop (no shame), but recently I’m loving the chandelier
earring with huge sparkley gems. It’s definitely a case of the bigger and more
bling-y the better! My earring collection is rather substantial now so I thought
I’d share with you a few of my favourite pairs, and give them comfort, price and bling-tastic statement-ness ratings (Yes, bling-tastic statement-ness is an official thing!) Enjoy! :)

I got these stunning vintage-style earrings for Christmas
and I absolutely love them, they’re small enough to wear during the day (in my
opinion anyway), but special enough to wear on a night out. Believe it or not
this pair are from Amazon and they’re so inexpensive! The quality is fabulous, I
wear these all the time and none of the gems have fallen out and they’re not
too heavy.

I know these earrings won’t be for everyone, but I can’t say
no to a tassel! This may sound strange but these earrings remind me of the
oh-so-chic earplugs worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s (which is
my favourite movie by the way, you must watch this if you haven’t already!)
Anything that makes me feel slightly more ‘Holly Golightly’ is fabulous in my
book. Unfortunately I bought these in store at Newlook and they’re out of stock
online but I’ll do my best to find a similar dupe (similar here).

These stunning earrings are probably one of my best
purchases of the year, and an absolute steal. I purchased these in store at
Newlook for £4 on sale!!! They’re from Newlook’s luxury exclusive range and you
can definitely tell, the detail and quality is amazing. Now I won’t lie, they
are very heavy and basically rip your ears off if you wear them for longer than
a few hours but beauty is pain! Just look at them…earring-porn at its finest!
If you’re after these, they aren’t available online at the moment so I
recommend looking at the sale section in your local Newlook, but I have found some similar ones online here.

These are my go-to earring for literally any occasion,
because the stones are very neutral colours they go with pretty much any
outfit. They’re also surprisingly light considering how big they are, and once
again, the quality is amazing, but these were on the pricey side at £12. These
beauties are from Oasis but I got them from Asos (10% student discount you
know!). They also come with really sturdy earring backs (one of which I did
manage to loose, which isn’t surprising considering how often I wear these). I
think I wear these so much because they are suitable for any occasion and any
season, so they were definitely worth the money. It’s fair to say, if I lost
these, I would probably have a small breakdown.

I hope you enjoyed this post, if you couldn’t tell, I am a
statement earring addict so if you have any favourites of your own or any go-to
brands for big earrings then feel free to share these in the comments.
