Here are 18 pairs to stock

If the spring-summer 2017 runways can be trusted (and as history has it, they can), the statement earring is making a comeback (though, if it ever left, that’s up for debate). I’m not quite ready to let go of my preference for tiny stud earrings, but the styles I’m about to show you seem to be a good compromise. Long and lean, they certainly make an impact: Some we’re seeing dusting the tops of the shoulders, others are done up in eye-catching, multicolor gemstone patterns. They’re a statement on their own, but pairing them with a tiny stud or two wouldn’t overdo it. I can get on board with this. Here are the ones I think you should stock.
