With statement earrings still being a major trend, clip on versions make adorning the ears with something bold easy and totally practical.
Perhaps it’s why women like Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and Amal Clooney, who define effortless style, have been wearing beautiful clip on earrings reminiscent of the 1950s; their polished look punctuated with large pearls and ornate circular designs that work sans piercing.

Introduced at the top of the 20th century and favored by flappers who wore drop and diamante styles, clip ons created more options to adorn ones self and let the wearer skip the process of piercing.
The style icons wearing clip on earrings today, Ashley Olsen is perhaps the edgiest, prove that the accessory is far from dusty and can still make quite a cool and modern statement.
