Over the years, people have gotten creative with their earrings. From the diamonds and white gold boom in the 1920s, to the gigantic hoops in the 90s, and now the enduring trend of multiple earrings, even if the user doesn’t have multiple piercings. The look can range from subtle with a stud and a hoop, or wild and bold with an entire ear party. Read on to see how you can do various combinations for your unique style.

Why Should You Mix-and-Match?

Because your ears deserve a little adventure!

Mixing and matching earrings isn’t just a trend, it’s a style philosophy. It’s the ultimate expression of individuality, where no two lobes need to look alike to feel complete. Whether you’re pairing a chunky hoop with a dainty stud, or a celestial drop with a minimal chain, you’re telling a story that’s uniquely yours.
  • Show Off Your Personality

Every earring combo becomes a curated reflection of your mood, your vibe, your moment. Feeling bold? Stack statement pieces. Feeling soft? Layer delicate silhouettes. Each ear becomes a canvas of self-expression; playful, poetic, or powerful.

  • Stay Effortlessly On-Trend

Mix-and-match styling is fashion’s answer to the ‘no rules’ era. Asymmetry, layered piercings, and curated ears have taken over runways and real life alike. The beauty? There’s no wrong way to do it. It’s not about perfection, it’s about personality and your experience.

  • Make the Most of Your Jewellery Collection

You don’t need new pieces, just a fresh perspective. Reimagine your existing earrings in new pairings to create endless looks. A mix-and-match approach breathes new life into classics and helps you wear your favourites in fresh, exciting ways.

  • Spark Conversation

Unexpected pairings catch the eye and invite curiosity. People notice. They ask. They compliment. Wearing mismatched earrings adds that little spark of intrigue – a whisper of ‘she’s got great taste and doesn’t follow the crowd.’

  • Embrace Energy & Intuition

For those who wear jewellery with intention, mixing earrings lets you align your adornments with different energies. A protective charm in one ear, a manifestation symbol in the other,  each piece becomes a talisman for what you’re calling into your day. Vuoi embody this through our CHERRIE collection, crafted with 14K solid gold and natural gemstones, especially birthstones.

Ear Party

#earparty has been making the rounds on social media for quite some time, and for good reason. It’s fun to combine multiple earrings to achieve a certain look, whether for a casual outing or an elegant night out. Check out some of these tips to get those Instagram-worthy earring combinations.

  1. Pick a theme. Every good party has a theme for their guests to follow. Want to channel the brilliance of a night sky? Combine dangling earrings and diamond studs. What’s the pantone colour for this year? Use pieces with that palette. Got some cute geometric-shaped studs? Line your lobes with them. Going for a single theme helps harmonise the entire look and makes choosing pieces easier.
  2. Play with colours… Matching colours is a safe choice, and the easiest to do. When you pick out a sapphire earring, go for similarly blue pieces, or accents like diamonds that don’t clash with the main colour.But you should also consider using complementary colours for a striking visual effect. You can pair black enamel hoops with white ones, for example, for a modern and sleek look.
  3. …And asymmetry. Who says only symmetry works for earrings? Mix things up by wearing an uneven number of pieces for either side, or by donning different but complementary ear studs, hoops, or colours (stud on the left, hoop on the right).Try a single big hoop or a single long earring. Make sure to also match your look to your hairstyle. Do your ear party on the ear not hidden by your hair.
  4. Use the same material. While you can play around with colours and symmetry, as a rule of thumb, you should use the same materials. If you have silver earrings, use silver for the rest to make things neat and tidy.
