statement earrings

As much as we love a statement-making necklace, we can feel our attention shifting north of the collarbone for the season ahead. It's all about the earring, folks! Studs may be well and good for your nine-to-five, but when a night out calls for something with a little sparkle it's a dramatic drop style that you should invest in, preferably with a side-serving of vintage appeal. Think borrowed-from-your-nan styles with elaborate chandelier drops, Art Deco silhouettes or rainbow-hued jewels. We've found five killer heirloom-inspired earrings that will give the impression that you've raided the family jewels, but you can snap up now with the mere click of a mouse!

We did some (online) research to find the best five baubles to bling up your party season style!

Make your seasonal accessories budget work a bit harder this year. The joy of accessories is the ability they have to makeover your existing wardrobe without breaking the bank.
