It’s amazing how earrings can elevate your look. Even workout clothes can be fashionable with bold hoops — just ask Hailey Bieber. But instead of paying top dollar, you can easily find expensive-looking earrings for less. Shopping online and comparing prices is a great way to locate deals and lower prices on inexpensive jewelry. One word to the wise: read the reviews. Here are some other tips for buying quality cheap earrings:
- Go for plated; they cost less than solid gold, silver or platinum but are still well-made earrings.
- Shop during the off months of January, April and July.
- Be flexible on style and stick to the classics. You can often find last season’s fashions on the clearance rack. Remember, hoops and studs never go out of style. You can get a good deal as long as you aren’t set on the season’s biggest trends.
To help you find cheap earrings that look like a million bucks, we’ve identified some styles you should check out. Between hoops, studs, pearls and statement earrings, we’ve got something for everyone.
Hoops
Cocadant 3 Pairs Big Hoop Earrings, 3 Colors Set
Why We Love It: You don’t get one pair of cheap earrings at such a low price point; you get THREE pairs of hoops. We love that they come in gold, silver and rose gold. Now you have a pair that goes with literally every outfit you want to wear. In a chic design, the oversized hoops are just what you’ve been searching for. And bonus, they have hypoallergenic sterling silver posts for sensitive ears.
Things to Consider: While these are completely on trend with their thin oversized design, there are a few complaints that they tarnish easily. As with all inexpensive jewelry, we recommend shining them up before each use to keep them from tarnishing.
The Cost: $10.99 at Amazon
PAVOI 14K Gold Colored Lightweight Chunky Open Hoops
Why We Love It: If you’re looking for the best dupe of Hailey Bieber’s bold hoops, look no further. TikTok is all atwitter about these, and so are we. Bieber is quite the trendsetter when it comes to jewelry; even in workout clothes, the star is dripping in bold chains, sparkling diamonds and chunky rings. As for earrings, she wears thick hoops from Jennifer Fisher almost daily. While her version of the well-made earrings cost upwards of $600, these Amazon earrings are dubbed the perfect dupe, and reviewers love them. With over 35,000 reviews, they average a 4.6-star rating. They are plated yellow, and a stainless-steel post makes them hypoallergenic.
Things to Consider: Some reviewers mention that these are on the heavy side, and some report they tarnish.
The Cost: $13.95 at Amazon
Studs
Anne Klein Small Twisted Stud Earrings
Why We Love It: Move over diamonds, pearls are also a girl’s best friend, and these Anne Klein studs are a perfect example. Classic in style, they can be paired with any outfit or other jewelry for a timeless look. The overall faux pearl appeals to users who say they look like luxury Dior and are comfortable to boot.
Things to Consider: Oversized is the point, but some reviewers find them too oversized for their taste.
The Cost: $11.98 at Amazon
Amazon Essentials Plated Sterling Silver Cubic Zirconia Stud Earrings
Why We Love It: Another classic stud, these cubic zirconia stones are flawless. Choose between princess cut or round, with sizes ranging from one carat (5 mm) or two carats (6.5 mm), plus some bigger sizes. Reviewers report that the quality is gorgeous on these; however, the 5 mm size looks more real, while the 6.5 mm size is a little on the tacky side.
Things to Consider: As we mentioned above, the larger sizes seem to be too big for some users, while others point out that the post isn’t centered on the stone, and the stone tends to droop from the ear lobe a bit with the bigger sizes.
The Cost: $10.70 at Amazon
Pearl Earrings
Freshwater Pearl Chain Stud Earrings
Why We Love It: A modern twist on freshwater pearls, these looped pearl studs will give your look an edge. Simple to use; just put the stud through your ear and attach it to the back, so the chain hangs below the earlobe. Users love these for everyday wear, saying they are comfortable and go with everything.
Things to Consider: While there aren’t many complaints about these Madewell pearls, a few reviewers have said that the chain doesn’t have much movement, and one reported that it broke.
The Cost: $22 at Madewell
Pearl Hoop Earrings for Women
Why We Love It: If you love hoops and pearls, you’ll love these cheap earrings. Amazon once again scores with an affordable and classic look. Hypoallergenic and in seven different sizes/styles, there is something for everyone here. Bonus, they are super lightweight, making them easy to wear.
Things to Consider: While some reviewers appreciate the light weight of these, others comment that they are so lightweight they’re downright flimsy and bend very easily.
The Cost: $10.99 at Amazon
Statement Earrings
Statement Rattan Raffia Hoop Drop Earrings
Why We Love It: Get ready to make a statement with these gorgeous earrings. This inexpensive jewelry is made from raffia in bright, bold colors. While delicate, the earrings make a big statement no matter which of the eight color combos/styles you choose. Although they are big in size, they actually weigh very little — just 5 grams a pair making them comfortable for all-day wear.
Things to Consider: These cheap earrings are made of paper like raffia. Unfortunately, there are several reports of the back just breaking off the earring — perhaps due to the paper-thin material.
The Cost: $13.99 at Amazon
Kylie Earrings
Why We Love It: Looks can be deceiving, according to reviewers of these Revolve pearl drop earrings. Users say the well-made earrings look much more high-end than they actually are — never a bad thing, right? These beauties are perfect for a formal night out. Have a wedding coming up? These are your perfect accessory.
Things to Consider: Delicate in style, some users find them too delicate — and one worried she would lose or bend them in her curly hair.
The Cost: $30 at Revolve
