You know all those one-off earrings that used to be a pair, but you lost their counterpart ages ago and just couldn’t bring yourself to toss them out? Well now is your chance to bring them back out in style because the mis-match earring trend is revived! The key to pulling off this trend is to make sure the earrings have some crossover. For instance, they may have the same stone – just placed differently, or they may be inverse copies of one another. They should look like they go together and yet are noticeably different.
One of the best places to drum up some inspiration and scoop up a pair of these asymmetrical earrings is on Etsy, where independent designers handcraft jewelry, often using re-purposed bits from previous pieces. If you are more of a studs girl, have a look at Macha Jewelry for a new ‘diamond’ stud made of contrasting recycled gold and silver. Swap out one diamond for an eco-friendly heart from Christine Mighion and you’ve created your own mis-match pair. Finally, a trend that makes use of your not-so-forgotten castaways and a unique sense of styling!
