24 of the best statement earrings to wear this spring, summer and beyond

The bigger and sparklier the earring, the closer to heaven – isn't that how the saying goes? Regardless, I am a firm believer that no wedding guest dress, summer party look or holiday outfit is complete without a pair of statement earrings. And, I'm not the only one – designers including Chloe, Chanel and Saint Laurent all accessorised their Spring/Summer 2025 runway looks with larger-than-life ear adornments. Don't believe me? Take a look at this years biggest jewellery trends.

From 80's inspired styles, reminiscent of Saint Laurent's embellished studs to the influencer-approved love-hearts for your lobes, I've rounded up 24 of the best statement earrings perfect for adding to your jewellery box. Plus, whether you're a gold jewellery lover or stuck on team silver, I've got the styles that are sure to tick all your boxes. Keep scrolling for a whole heap of ear candy...

80's Inspired

If there's one earring trend to invest in this season, it has to be a pair of show stopping 80's inspired studs. The statement styles have been growing in popularity in recent months but it's a trend I predict is in for the long haul. If you can't get your hand on a vintage set, trust me, these earrings look just as good.

Sculptural Earrings

Make Peggy Guggenheim your party style icon and clip on a pair of oversized gold earrings. Think of them miniature sculptures in that they'll be an artful addition to evening ensembles. Keep the rest of your outfit pared-back, either in terms of colour or silhouette (or both).

Mermaidcore Earrings

The mermaidcore trend may have took hold on TikTok last year but it's one that's showing no sign of fading when it comes to SS25's must-have jewellery styles. Whether you opt for fun starfish inspired studs or a delicate shell style drop earrings, under the sea is most definitely where it's at. Don't want to go full on mermaid? I've also rounded up the best pearl earrings below for a more subtle nod to the trend.

Pearl Earrings

No longer just for formal occasions, this season statement pearl earrings come in all different forms, from organic ethereal designs to more simplistic, structured styles. if you're opting for real pearls, take care of your jewels by minimising their exposure to perfumes and water to keep them at their best, or opt for a faux style which look practically as good as the real thing.

Heart earrings

Love-hearts for your lobes? Yes, please. Go supersized and rhinestone-studded; the gaudier, the better, in my opinion. They lend a touch of irreverence to little black dresses and pastel suits alike. I've been known to wear a pair to weddings as a pleasingly garish ode to love.

Floral Earrings

These floral earrings bring new meaning to the term 'garden party.' Think daisies cast in brass, threaded with pearls or set with crystals; they're the perfect accompaniment to romantic, flower-print gowns – or even a crisp white shirt.
