Clip-on Earrings Are Nice Enough for People With Pierced Ears Now
The words clip-on earrings might bring to mind your mother’s door knockers or chandeliers. But over the past few years, we’ve seen the return of Dynasty-era styles (say, those from Heaven Mayhem), and lately there seem to be even more clip-ons in every style (from the referential to the irreverent, like Shrimp’s shrimp) on the scene. So varied is the new batch of clip-ons that a 2018 “Ask the Strategist” post about clip-ons seems, well, old (this was when Marni cornered the market). With that in mind, I took to the internet to find some very appealing clip-ons to wear (whether your ears are pierced or not) for all tastes, including ones with Hermès cloisonné and others that are odes to grocery-store produce.
