28 Pairs Of Christmas Earrings You’ll Actually Want To Wear
Nothing elevates a look as quickly as a pair of statement earrings and there is no better time to bring them out than during the festive period. From sweet bow-inspired pairs that will wrap up your whole look to jewel designs reminiscent of a tin of Quality Street, here’s how to do Christmas earrings you’ll actually want to wear this Yuletide… and every night out after.
We really are spoilt when it comes to the statement earrings these days, they are everywhere, and there is something so silly, so impractical but so elevating and joy-inducing that they feel just right at Christmas. Even if you’re wearing jeans and a white tee but throw on some jazzy lobe candy… bam! The whole look is transformed.

The high street is a great place to start with so many intricate and dazzling designs that belie their affordable price tag. First up, Zara and their Rosebud Heart Earrings – the rich scarlet silk bud hovering above the chunky gold heart add a modern romance to a high-neck silk blouse and light-wash denim; while H&M’s Rhinestone Earrings in chocolatey brown with a clear jewel inside look like something you’ve plucked from the Quality Street tin – in the best way possible.
Bows have gone from a micro trend to being spotted everywhere, from dainty hair accessories to plump pussybow collars, and they work really well on earrings too. River Island’s Christmas Ribbon Earrings sit just on the cusp of kitsch and will certainly bring the festive spirit to your Christmas Day look. We love them paired with a fluffy cardigan and tailored trousers. Or, for something a little more understated, COS’s metallic pink ribbon bows look like the real thing threaded through your ear and make for a great stocking filler for the family style lover.
Finally, if you’re looking to spend a little more or have been making some pretty obvious hints, check out Oscar de la Renta for keep-forever pieces that will see you through party season, weddings and days when you just want to be a little extra. Or, NYC-based jewellery designer, Mignonne Gavigan, whose handmade pieces feel like works of art or quirky charms but are super light meaning you won’t find them buried at the bottom of your clutch bag come midnight. We love her martini glass designs to wear to Christmas drinks parties, New Year’s Eve and beyond…
