The trend for asymmetric earrings has been joyously raging for a few seasons now. It seems set to continue into spring and summer 2020, when jewelry will become “a way to stand out, stand up and be heard [as] consumers push themselves out of their comfort zone,” according to Paola de Luca of jewelry trend agency The Futurist.
We have become more comfortable with this type of mixing and matching, which once felt radical. Now, selling earrings singly is a common move, and the customer is the designer. As such, the production of truly wacky pairs of asymmetric earrings like those that first catapulted the style off the catwalks and into jewelers’ stores has slowed. Even at Dior, which has embraced and fueled this trend, the look is more muted than before. The new Gem Dior collection’s earring “couples” — as designer Victoire de Castellane has dubbed them to reflect their compatible differences — favor subtle twists such as mixing up gemstones or playing with size. Low-key quirks like these create a precious game of spot-the-difference. Some even use the addition of ear charms — a popular option for quick customization — to keep the wearer in control.
