Earrings are one of the easiest ways to take risks when getting dressed. Simple studs, like an LBD, are classics and will never go out of style. But as mixing up your jewelry becomes more popular, we've noticed a rise in the mismatched earrings trend. What started out as wearing two different studs has evolved into pairing different stones of various shapes and lengths.

Just like mixing prints or colorblocking, adding depth and dimension to your earring game makes your look more fun and fashion forward. We've rounded up some of our favorite mismatched earrings that you'll love, whether you're dipping your toe into this trend or you're a seasoned pro looking to step it up. Just keep reading to shop!
