For Spring, chunky necklaces take a back seat to spectacular earrings, either oversize or intricately wrought. Think hoops big enough to be bracelets and chandeliers the likes of which we haven’t seen since the late 90s!At left: Gisele in W.

Love it! You don't have anything else of jewelry, if you have statement earrings! More than everything, I like to have some big, coctail ring and some amazing watch, but earrings are some specialy. Giles & Brother, Iosselliani Cluster and Stella McCartney are 'must - have'!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, darling.

love it! huge earrings everyone has got to love.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year CC! Earrings can make such an impact--both bad an good. I adore Lanvin's accessories especially their intricate jewlery. Stunning!
ReplyDeleteFab! The bigger the better :0)
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! I love that first picture. So dramatic.
ReplyDeletehey CC, I do love earings. I used to wear huge gold hoops and sport that whole look but they totally hurt my ears and it was one of those things where I with stand the pain until I couldn't take it any longer and then I stopped wearing earings completely. Now I am not even sure that I have holes in my ears! I think that sometimes people get carried away with the large oversized earings but these looks are adorable.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds!! Love these earrings!!
ReplyDeletewow i'm cool with big earrings or drop ones only if they dnt hurt the ears...got to admit my sisters ve some that htey quickly pull out once they get into the car.. :o)
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who's an artist and jewel designer and she has created the most incredible deconstructed colorful earrings in papier mache!
ReplyDeleteI love statement jewelry, but it must be really ' balanced '... Zac Posen was really interesting.
ReplyDeleteEpic post anyway !!
as long as they r not too heavy...I'd rather admire them than wearing 'em! ~Lovely week to you dahhlin'
ReplyDeleteuhlala, i have a passion for this kind of earrings:)they change the whole look!
ReplyDeletevery nice post:)have a good week!
i love oversize chandelier and ethnic earrings, but something about super-hoops just repulses me.
ReplyDeletei love earrings so much. never leave the house w/o them! the stephen webster ones are so impressive, dark and sexy :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteohh I love the hoops - great style!
ReplyDeleteNo my style but I really like Emily's sketch! This young lady is talented.

I love huge earrings on someone else, lol! I wouldn't wear them because I'm not bold, but they look great on the runway!
ReplyDeleteI never thought that big earrings would come back...
ReplyDelete^^For me, big earrings never went away!
ReplyDeleteI love statement earrings but it's a shame when they are too heavy for your ears...my sister ended up having to re-pierce her ears after much heavy earring wearing!
ReplyDeleteI can't wear earings! :-( It makes me so sad 'cause some of these are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou do such a great job finding all these images.

ReplyDeletegreat post and pick up. xxx LM

ReplyDeleteI love big earrings and they can be so beautiful, but I just don't like them on myself unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS! I love the sketched ones, as well as the fine Dior pair.

ReplyDeletei've got a pair that actually may have been door knockers
they're so heavy... but they look damn good ;-)
*bisous*
I'm a huge fan of big earrings - I think they're so fun and they can dress up any outfit!
ReplyDeleteKate Beckinsale wore these gorgeous earrings at the Golden Globes - kind of reminded me of some of these :)
xo, dear.
Oh, these are making me feel like I need to start wearing earrings again!
ReplyDeletei've always just loved big unusual earrings...unfortunately they just KILL my ears because they're usually HEAVY!
ReplyDeletei am all for statement earrings. love all the ones you posted! another fabulous gathering of inspirations, CC. xx
ReplyDeleteOh WOW! These are just some; really enormous earrings!
ReplyDeleteSomething which I can never identify cos I dont wear earrings! LOL

ReplyDeletei love dangling earrings but nothing too heavy.
ReplyDeleteNothing like a great accessory!
ReplyDeletewow, that first picture with the girl in the black dress is sick! I love it! Gorgeous, awesome post!
ReplyDeletei love them, but they are definitely not for clubbing/ dancing they can be dangerous. this girl at the club had them on and it flung right off her ear hitting an unexpected fellow dancer on the face. true story!
ReplyDeleteEpic! These make me want to get my ears re-pierced!
ReplyDeleteCC, you are a member of IFB, aren't you?

ReplyDeleteI love them all!! BUT...my absolute favorite statement earrings are these - $10 beauties.
ReplyDeleteThey can't be worn with every outfit..that's for sure. But when the time is right, they bring a million compliments.
