Statement earrings are the perfect piece of jewelry to add pizzazz to an outfit instantly. Whether it's a sleek and sculptural drop earring, multicolored hoops, or a bright pair of tassels, bold earrings always elicit joy and showcase your sense of style. Even better, they can make a simple outfit appear more thought out and pulled together. We're talking everything from polished tops and dresses to comfy staples like t-shirts, hoodies, and sweatpants.

While we have tons of go-to shops and brands for procuring statement earrings, there's something about wearing a pair from a small or independent brand that sparks even more joy — and for several reasons. One, you're wearing a pair of earrings that, likely, are not on most people's radar, which ultimately leads to a one-of-a-kind outfit. Two, you're supporting a small business where every single purchase counts (this is something we always strive to do, but especially so during unprecedented times like the current coronavirus pandemic). Three, you're bound to discover unique and on-trend jewelry designs you may not have considered before. Beaded flowers, rainbow-colored pearls, oversize chain links, sculpted brass, we could go on. Finally, many small jewelry brands handmake their pieces, which, in this case, boils down to better quality earrings that will last a long time in your jewelry box.

Whether bold earrings are your signature, you're shopping for new pieces to dress up a video conference or Zoom hangout with friends, or you want to support a new brand, keep reading for our edit of statement earrings from small and independent jewelry brands.
