Where do you buy your earrings and how much ish do they cost?

[OhioOhioOhio]

Im trying to smarten up and thought this would be something nice to do again.

I do think Etsy have lovely delicate earrings also.

Pandora. I get green ears or they get sore otherwise

I love toolally earrings as well, they sell them in JL
Also like Hush/mint velvet/Oliver Bonas. French connection do some good ones occasionally, and I like & other stories. I can wear anything in mine fortunately.

I wear diamond studs which were a gift from DH. They cost £700. They never come out unless I’m going somewhere fancy and need statement /bigger earrings in which case I swap them for dangly costume jewellery usually from Argento or Accessorize.

Pilgrim. Just a good level of quality and good price point. Nice mixture of gold and silver. I think they use Swarovski crystals for their more bling ones. I like other danish jewellery brands too.

If you want to smarten up you might want to stick to gold

OMG mumsnetters do have some funny ideas!

Astley Clarke, Astrid & Miyu, Missoma but my recent amazing find is myjs.com. One of those dodgy places you see advertised on FB but i took a punt because i liked them and they were cheap and they're amazing! hypoallergenic, i can wear them for days / weeks on end without getting itchy and they're really lovely. i've just ordered a bunch more

I have a decent pair of diamond studs which I’ve worn almost every day for the last 18 years. Maybe a bit boring but timeless.

I imagine a good quality imitation is difficult to spot unless they are under a magnifying glass.

John Lewis.

I've also got some cultured pearl studs I got for my 30th and some small diamond studs that I wear regularly.

@olivehater agree re Pilgrim. I have some lovely blingy earrings by them.

Some of these are so beautiful but way out of my budget.

Etsy. I have a passion for handmade jewellery. The prices can vary a lot, but I usually buy only from European and UK sellers, to keep shipping costs down and hopefully avoid customs charges.

Mine aren't regular studs they are more like body bars so no where for the gunk to hide! I give them a quick wash in the shower and every so often (2 or 3 times a year) a wipe with surgical spirit

Coincidentally there are pictures of my ears somewhere on style and beauty if anyone cares.

I am having an operation soon and I'm slightly worried as it's been so long since Iv had to take them out.

OP, what is your budget? And what kind of thing are you after? Classic studs? Unusual things?

Etsy is great for unusual stuff like this! And not that costly either, last pair I bought there I think were about 15 quid. Alternatively I go to a shop in my home town when visiting old friends called Crystals, they have some beautiful silver jewellery. If I buy on sale I can get them for again around 15 quid. Otherwise I am very lucky to have a silversmith in the family and often pay them to make me things. They made me three pairs of silver stud earings for christmas :)

I buy most of mine from Argento, I also buy earrings quite a lot as presents. Although I have a pair of amber studs that I am loathe to be parted from that I bought on holiday.

Also diamante studs or small gold hoops from Accessorize + H&M mainly. Anything pricey wasted on me as I loose everything.

I make my own.I find the store ones use very cheap findings and they don't last.😀

Lovisa. Fashion jewellery.

I have a few pairs from the Andea range in John Lewis. Recently got two pairs of silver earrings from White Stuff, really nice.

I've always liked fairly plain studs day to day. I have some diamond ones now I bought a couple of years ago which I LOVE but over the years I've mostly worn gold or silver small squares, like tiny cubes, from high street jewellers. I also have a pair of round garnet studs that were my Gran's which I like. I've had pearls too but wouldn't wear for work as I find they're uncomfortable when you're on the phone!

M&S often have quite nice blingier stuff for evenings.

I like minimal style and Thomas Sabo has nice ones. At the moment I have silver (not sure about that) rings that costed £5 in amazon. There hasn't been any reaction so far.
