10 Affordable Statement Earrings That Look Like A Million Bucks

Want to get someones attention? Wear a pair of big-ass earrings.

Why? Because its impossible not to notice them and, in between them, your face! A stunning pair of earrings frames your mug, drawing people in and ensnaring them in a web of color, sparkle and movement. Recently, I was out with a date who turned to me and gently flicked one of my oblong drops, sending it swaying to and fro. Little did he know I had covertly engineered this moment of subtle physical intimacy with my choice of jewelry.

Pulling off this con doesnt have to cost you a ton of money. I visited the Holy Land of Affordable Accessories, Etsy, to find these 10 designer earring dupes, representing all the latest jewelry trends: geometric shapes, hoops, pearls and more. Pop a pair in, and then go forth and conquer.

The Mixed-Geo Dangles

Mod-inspired earrings with geometric shapes are all over Instagram, thanks in part to a community of polymer clay artisans making them affordable and lightweight. One of my favorites is Etsy seller Elysian Theory, set to release this simple yet striking mixed-geo pair on Oct. 31.

The Resin Tortoiseshell Hoops

Another groovy throwback, resin adds a touch of a swinging '60s, Twiggy -inspired style to your look. You could pay the price for Cult Gaias oversize pair but why do that when CaliFindings hoops are less than $6?!

The Tropical Doorknockers

Mercedes Salazar; Etsy

Im having a very big moment with Latin/tropical music, right down to the gigantic, colorful earrings worn by musicians like Catalina Garca , of Monsieur Perin, and singer/songwriter Mon Laferte in their music videos . I like an island vibe all year round, so I found these absurdly sunny soutache earrings for your jewelry box.
