Possibly the earliest example of statement earrings comes in the form of girandole earrings. These seem to have first emerged in the mid-17th century, but didn’t become widely popular until the Georgian period. Girandole earrings often consist of a bow shape at the centre, with three elaborate strands hanging down. These earrings were frequently coated in gemstones like diamonds and rubies, hence the title of ‘statement’ earrings.

Statement Earrings Frequently Asked Questions

Statement earrings are prominent and visually striking accessories designed to draw attention and significantly enhance an outfit. Unlike more subtle or refined earrings, these pieces are usually larger, more colourful, and intricately crafted. They often incorporate bold shapes, vivid gemstones, or unique materials and are intended to be the highlight of an outfit.


The styles of these earrings can vary from oversized hoops and chandelier designs to asymmetrical and sculptural forms. They are commonly used in fashion to reflect personal style, elevate a simple look, or make a daring fashion statement.

To effectively showcase statement earrings, maintaining balance in your overall look is essential. Simplifying the rest of your outfit allows the earrings to stand out, so consider wearing minimalist or neutral shades to avoid a busy appearance. For formal settings, a streamlined, monochromatic outfit works well with striking earrings, whereas casual looks can be uplifted with bright, fun designs. Furthermore, your hairstyle can influence the presentation of the earrings; styles such as updos, slicked-back hair, or side-swept looks can enhance the visibility of longer earrings that extend below the hairline.
