35 Best Statement Earrings, Editor Approved, Split by Price

By Swedan MargenSeptember 23, 2025

From experience, I’ve discovered you’re either a statement earrings person or not. I’ve always understood the unwavering appeal of an everyday curated ear—that perfect balance of stylishly in-between stacked-up cuffs and simple, barely-there piercings aligns with my less-is-more approach to jewellery. And yet, I can't help but notice that more and more fashion people are elevating the simplest of looks (a t-shirt and jeans included) with incredibly cool statement earrings, and I can't deny I find it so chic.

From the beginning of the 2020s, statement jewellery has become almost impossible to ignore. From larger-than-life modern heirlooms draped around the necks of many of our favourite faces (Hailey Bieber, here's looking at you!) to sculptural cuffs that mesh art deco vibes with something elevated and wearable, I have to admit nothing draws the eye quite like a dramatic piece of jewellery.

With jewellery trends far slower than fashion, it's safe to say, for the most part, the ‘80s are back. From cascading pearls that would make old Hollywood gasp to square shapes fit for the Queen, statement earrings of all iterations have been cropping up for some time. Brands like Lie Studios and Heaven Mayhem were founded on said '80s motifs with a touch of modern elegance, but it wasn't until the ever-popular Bottega Veneta's Drop earrings debuted at autumn/winter 2022 runway that statement earrings truly stuck. Becoming widely popular, by 2023, it was a rarity to step outside without spotting someone (or several someones) rocking a pair or that of a replica.

Since then, we’ve seen everything from florals in bloom to square studs that would make Princess Diana herself swoon make a comeback. The beauty of a statement earring? Whatever you choose, they are such an easy way to elevate any look. Whether you're a maximalist and want to take your look to the next level or a minimalist and are just after a quick and simple way to make your jeans and white tee outfit sing, statement earrings are the key. So, with that in mind, scroll on to see the best statement earrings available now, split out by price point.
