After several years of barely-there stud stacks and lonely lobes, earring style has rebounded to more substantial looks. Statement earrings came charging back last year and have now settled into a few different categories, primarily separated by how they take up space on the ear. The two trends we’re highlighting in this issue are alternatives to the traditional big statement earring. MODEL: Melissa Varon PHOTOGRAPHER: Greg Lotus

STATEMENT STUDS
These standout studs may not be the largest earrings, but their impact is proof that earrings don’t need to leave the lobe to turn heads. A little bit 1980s and oh-so-fabulous, the return of the statement stud is perfect for jewelry lovers who like to add a dash of bold beauty to all kinds of occasions, whether it’s a black-tie evening or a trip to the grocery store.
