If my jewelry box suddenly disappeared and I only had $100 to start rebuilding my collection, I know exactly what I would buy first. Chunky gold earrings. It’s impossible to scroll through social media right now without seeing posts about gold earrings for women. They’re a jewelry box staple for a reason; the ultimate ‘it girl’ accessory and the piece that can instantly elevate any outfit.
In this post, I’m sharing 4 of the biggest trends in gold earrings for women, showcasing everything from everyday styles to the statement earrings guaranteed to turn heads.
Chic Chunky Gold Earrings
You’re starting your collection from scratch, so you need the most versatile earrings of them all – chunky gold hoops. They’re easily my most-worn earrings and the pair I reach for on those days when I just want to keep things casual with a tight ponytail and activewear.
The structural shape of these chunky gold hoops makes them look more expensive than their $48 price tag. Plus, they’re perfect for going from beach to bar.

Elegant Gold Pearl Earrings
Gold pearl earrings are guaranteed to win a place in your weekly rotation if you call celebrities like the Olsen twins, Sofia Richie, and Meghan Markle your style muses. The Baroque Pearl Earrings are one of our most popular styles of gold earrings for women as the ultimate 2-in-1 style.
Baroque pearls are having a major moment as younger women embrace them as a way of modernizing traditional pearls with a fresher, contemporary look. These earrings blend classic elegance with a modern twist, perfect for a beach wedding or your next vacation.
Small Unexpected Silhouettes
The best things come in the smallest packages. If you’re not a fan of statement earrings, flip the trend around and choose a dainty style with a unique, artistic silhouette.
The ‘Lara Earrings’ are my go-to for lazy days at the beach or for running errands on the weekend. The sculpted shape gives it an unexpected look, making it a great alternative to stud earrings. Style with an oversized t-shirt and your signature necklace for an effortlessly chic look.
Oversized Statement Earrings
You’re not someone who likes to be lowkey. I get it. When you’re shopping for gold earrings for women, focus on oversized statement earrings. The ‘Kia Dome Earrings’ radiate main character energy and work with any outfit, giving you the ultimate vintage-inspired ‘90s look. I love to match them with a little black dress for a Parisian aesthetic, and they look just as good with casual streetwear.
Whether you’re investing in building a capsule jewelry box or want to add to your weekly rotation, gold earrings for women are non-negotiable. Whatever your fashion aesthetic, there’s a pair of chunky gold earrings or statement earrings that will become part of your signature look.
