Bold Brass Statement Earrings Under $305

Have you ever wondered how to get people to look at you without ever having to say a word? The secret, my friend, is statement jewelry. These earrings are big, commanding and they draw eyes without even trying. I speculate that statement brass earrings will be great conversation pieces for summer, that is….if we can ever leave the house. HarpersBazaar cited oversized earrings as one of the top summer jewelry trends for 2020. 

Here are my top 3 earrings for staying on trend and looking stylish for summer!

Butterfly Garden Brass Earrings – We Dream In Colour, $270

These are not your mother’s hoop earrings. Gone are the days of delicate little silver circles being the epitome of bold earware. And bamboo hoops, despite numerous attempts to resuscitate them, are dead as well. The brass hoop however, is alive and well, and this is a trend I love. The great thing about these earrings is that you can play up an outfit with a floral pattern or bring some playfulness to a monochromatic outfit. As I mentioned in a former article, brass earrings are most ideal when they incorporate sterling silver or surgical steel where your ear might touch. The Butterfly Garden Brass Earrings are no exception, and have sterling silver posts. These earrings get an A+ for not having to choose between beauty and practicality.

Salento Black Earrings – Bibi Marini, $270

These moody, witchy earrings put me in the mind of lunar eclipses and starry nights. I could see myself wearing these and roaming a beautiful gothic cathedral. The Salento Black Earrings contain sterling silver posts, 24k gold plated brass and interestingly enough, silk thread. I love the way the black crystals sparkle, it really adds a level of animation and sophistication to earrings that could otherwise be entirely metallic. These are true day-to-night earrings, in that, you could play them up for a casual brunch or wear them to a nightclub. These earrings are true headturners and will make a darkly romantic impression for summer.

Kinetic Petal Doré Earrings – Anissa Kermiche, $305

Is it odd that these earrings make me think of genealogy? The Kinetic Petal Doré Earrings remind me of a family tree, if you happened to come from a long line of carelessly perfect looking flower petals. They look vaguely molecular and also put me in the mind of chemical compounds. If I could use just one word to describe these earrings it would be futuristic. These earrings are on a whole other level. I love the way the 18k gold plated brass petals hang like a mobile above a baby’s crib. These fresh and contemporary looking earrings will definitely make you catch someone’s eye. 

Which of these three pairs of earrings would you get to liven up your wardrobe? Are you feeling the florals or eyeing the moody hoops? Let me know in the comments below!
