Jeweled studs and even chandelier earrings don't have the same shock-and-awe value of our new favorite accessories. When we spotted ear cuffs cropping up on our favorite Hollywood girls, we craved the same irreverent, edgy-cool effect. In fact, we don't remember being this excited about new jewels since we slipped on our first statement necklace.
In the sparkliest finishes or even the most minimalist designs, they give just about anything we wear a cooler vibe than any earrings we already own do — and it goes without saying that we love just about anything that can do that. See the celebs who spawned our obsession, and then shop our favorites right here.
