PSA: Statement earrings are back.
Following years of quiet luxury (thanks Succession) which, on the lobe, translated as diamond studs, gold posts or simple huggie hoops, the tide has turned, and bold jewels have made a triumphant return in a big way.
What's on the menu? Fruit.
You cannot move for fruit-themed earrings. Bananas, citrus, bunches of grapes, and of course, cherries. You might find a smattering of other produce - think more innocent versions of the now double-entendre aubergine - but cherries are proving the, well, cherry on top of an outfit, whether adding an unexpected hit of playfulness to officewear, or for wholesome fresh-off-the-farm appeal at the weekend.
A good pair of earrings has the mercurial power to elevate any outfit. White tee and jeans? Add a pair of pop-arty bananas and you're good to go. First date dress? Cute dangling cherries say you're keeping things breezy - and if nothing else, can help as a conversation starter. An entire fruit salad brushing your shoulders? Say hello to Carmen Miranda 2.0 - now tell me, who wouldn’t want to channel the Brazilian samba icon?
Besides, draping yourself in fruit-themed jewellery could act as a visual reminder to get more onto your plate, too. Can wearing the right jewellery make you healthier? Time to find out.
If you’re ready to go to the market, we’ve gathered up the finest and funnest fruit-themed earrings to bring a smile to your face and inject some charm into your outfit.
It’s the new way to enjoy your five-a-day. Go on, have a nibble.
