Why these fruity earrings are having a moment

Basically summer on your ears

Basically summer on your ears

I know, I know, yet another Bank Holiday that doesn’t promise to deliver the sunshine you’re hoping for. BUT I have just the thing for you.

During my usual evening Instagram binge (as I catch up on Suits, don’t tell me I can’t multi-task), I spotted Laura Fantacci modelling the cutest pair of cherry earrings on her Insta Stories.

They’re by J.Crew and consist of a gold hoop adorned with two delicate cherries. In other words, they’re summer in your jewellery box, and I immediately wanted them.

Sadly, that particular pair is sold out online, but I found five other pairs worth of your Instagram. Trust me, come rain or shine, they will truly brighten up your weekend.

And don’t worry, you won’t look like you’ve just come back from a shopping trip at Claire’s Accessories if you wear these. It’s all down to what you wear with them.

On holiday, they’ll add a pop of colour to a white Broderie Anglaise dress, and at work they’ll look great with a khaki wraparound dress with ruffle hem.

Either way, they’ll give you life.
