No Lie—My Chic, Expensive-Looking Earrings Are Actually From Amazon
If there's one thing that this fashion editor loves, it's a standout accessory moment. My style is largely simple—I wear a palette comprised of neutrals and the fussiest fabric you'll find me in is white cotton with broderie anglaise. I like to think of my penchant for such pieces as being classic and anti-trend, but even I crave a playful interjection every once in a while. When I feel this need, statement accessories are the first thing I reach for, with jewellery being my favourite to experiment with. So, you can bet that this season's jumbo earrings were immediately on my radar.
First spotted on last season's spring/summer runways (which I chronicled in detail back in March last year), there was one thing I was certain of: 2024 was going to be the year of big earring energy, and my prophecy has been proven right. From Bottega Veneta to Saint Laurent, larger than life earrings have populated the designer collections. However, though I may report on the luxury goings on in the industry, rather devastatingly, my budget just doesn't allow me to drop £800+ on a pair of earrings. So I decided to be patient. Then, a few weeks ago, when I was on Amazon indulging in my Marvis toothpaste and coffee-table book obsession, I happened upon the perfect oversized teardrop earrings.
Yes, these look like Bottega Veneta, and whilst I'd always advocate for buying the original, as we've established, I simply don't have the budget to do so in this instance. So, I decided to throw caution to the wind and order myself a pair. I choose the gold colourway (these earrings come in many, many colours). At £11 I didn't expect much but, as soon as they arrived, I knew I'd found something special.
Lightweight and with the post perfectly positioned so the teardrop sits higher up on your ear, these look so much more expensive than their price tag. They don't pull on the lobe, making them incredibly comfortable to wear and, although shiny, they aren't garishly so. In fact, their gleam makes them look all the more expensive, in my opinion.
I was so impressed that I decided to treat myself to the silver style too, and honestly, I've been rotating these pairs ever since. Now available in a two-pack containing the gold and silver, I know what I'd buy if I had to do it all over.
I've been telling all of my colleagues that they need to make the most of this offer, and now I'm telling you. Scroll on to shop my beloved designer-looking earrings now.

I wish I'd bought this two-pack initially—don't make the same mistake as I did.
However, If You Prefer the Gold...
These look great paired with all-black outfits and slicked-back hair.
... Or Would Rather Just the Silver
Silver jewellery has made a major comeback this season, and these earrings are the sleekest way to wear it.
