It might be time to try a new trend if you’re tired of the usual hoop or chandelier earrings.

Cross earrings come in many varieties, from simple studs to dramatic structures. For the bold fashionista, baroque cross earrings are perfect for evening outfits.

This trend has graced high-fashion runways and red-carpet events, worn by celebrities and fashion influencers alike. Baroque cross earrings often feature vibrant stones and crystals, bringing a bold, eye-catching element to any look. Typically crafted in gold, these earrings frequently showcase intricate etchings or carvings, adding an extra layer of drama and sophistication.

Two stylish fashion influencers were spotted wearing the trend at the Revolve Awards in November 2017. Both paired their statement jewels with black ensembles and styled their hair in pulled-back buns to focus attention on the earrings. Pair this trend with sexy fabric like silk and velvet for that sensual vixen look.
