Mar4Big Earrings and Baby Fingers Don’t Mix
Carrie

Someone once referred to me in college as “that girl with the big earrings.” Hoop, chandelier, drop—you name it–I love ‘em big, big, big. Small earrings—what’s the point? It’s like wearing clear mascara. Do small earrings make faces look fatter? Maybe. Have you ever seen someone with a big face and really small eyes? That’s how I feel when I put on small earrings. I know someone else who loves big earrings. He’s two years old and he lives in my house and in his hands, my earrings become the shortest distance between me and a plastic surgeon specializing in earlobe repair.

So, small earrings and I are going to have to make our peace. Lucky me, there are some awesome ones out there that I can wear and still feel big, big, big on the inside.

1.    Le Cirque aux Papillon Earrings from Bonbon Oiseau,  $72.00
I love the bright red and aqua color combination—they really pop. They’re made of antique pulled glass rings and hulls of rice!
2.    Small Cloud Earrings from Alice Roche, $90
Handmade by a San Francisco-based architect turned jewelry designer, this sterling silver pair is a “fun geometric take on mother nature.” Their assertive shape is completely unique and anything but boring.

3.    Buttercup Posts from Anthropologie, $18.00
You’ve probably seen these resin rose shapes in lots of stores, but every time I see them, I can’t resisit! They’re lightweight, come in lots of colors and are just really cute. And affordable.

4.    Gold Glam Bud Stud Earrings from cheapdatejewelry on Etsy, $26.00
As the description on Etsy says, these evoke a vintage-y clip on vibe with the convenience of a stud. I love their texture, which makes up for their diminutive .5” size.

5.    Blossom Earrings by Odette, $85.00
These super feminine sterling silver earrings are inspired by Japanese cherry blossoms.  Their texture, perforation and overall shape make you want to take a second look. Also available in yellow and rose gold.
