admin You might not be surprised to discover that Bottega Veneta was the originator of this latest earrings trend, sending chunky gold and silver teardrop-shaped studs down the runway of its A/W 22 show, in the ears of models wearing extremely low-key outfits.
This is the essence of why and how this particular design of earrings has since become one of the hottest pieces of jewellery to own—anyone can throw them on with a simple tank top and jeans, slip dress or button-down shirt and instantly look like they’ve just stepped off a Bottega runway (read: modern, timeless, cool and polished). Surely, it’s a no-brainer.
More than a year on, the teardrop shape has found its way from the runway to the high street. And whilst celebrities from Kendall Jenner to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley obviously favour the originals, we’re also big fans of the more affordable alternatives that can now be found at the likes of COS, Anthropologie and even on Etsy.
