Earrings that can stand on their own as a stylish look are called statement earrings. These are often earrings that are typically big, colorful, funky, unique, glamorous, fun or even bohemian in design. To be considered statement earrings, a pair usually has at least one of these qualities.
Many pairs of statement earrings are in large dangling designs, but studs can also be statement earrings. To qualify as statement earrings, the jewelry needs a solid style of its own that can stand out no matter what else you’re wearing.
While there are many fashionable styles in costume materials, fine jewelry companies have also been making their own silver and gold statement earrings with gemstones such as pearls, diamonds, sapphires and pink moissanite.
