10 gorgeous earrings under 0 that will instantly elevate your look

Some people feel naked without jewelry. The fabulous Elizabeth Taylor was always dripping in diamonds. The iconic Coco Chanel made strands of pearls her signature. And me? I’m a stickler for stacks of little gold huggie earrings. I also firmly believe that jewelry has the power to instantly elevate your everyday look. Heck, the right pair of ear candy can turn a jeans-and-tee combo into ‘old Hollywood glam’ and you don’t even need a star-studded budget to get there. Right now, you can score a slew of bestselling earrings at Blue Nile’s 25th anniversary sale — and each pair is less than $100.

Blue Nile is an online goldmine of top-quality baubles. The jewelry retailer is a trusted destination for ethically sourced diamonds and other gemstones at prices so low, that you won’t find a better deal anywhere (and if you do, Blue Nile will match it). Their big 25th anniversary sale is your opportunity to score a slew of bestsellers for up to 40% off. And if you’re in the market for an engagement ring, you’ll get 25% off their entire inventory — a phenomenon that happens only once a year. Needless to say, now’s the time to take the plunge!

When you invest in heirloom-worthy jewelry from Blue Nile, you’re getting premium materials, artisan-level craftsmanship and a customer service experience so top-tier that they even have experts on call to help you choose the right piece. But you probably won’t even need that because I’ve handpicked 10 pairs of earrings under $100 that’ll add just the right amount of razzle dazzle to any outfit. These studs, hoops, drops and more earring deals at Blue Nile’s 25th anniversary sale are rare and precious — and only happening until September 7.

Silver bead earrings are the ultimate accessory for minimalists. They’re versatile enough to bring an air of elegance to everything from a crisp white button-down to a slinky black dress. A slicked-back bun or ponytail is the perfect finishing touch.

This 8mm pair is made of hollow Sterling silver, so they look like solid orbs but are actually lightweight little studs you might forget you’re wearing. “These earrings are beautiful for daily wear, super elegant and go with everything,” wrote a fashionista.

These petite, organically shaped earrings will become your everyday companions, upgrading just about every outfit possible — even your gym clothes.

“I’ve only taken them out to clean them. They’re small, which I wanted, and cute,” wrote a fan. “The backing is different from my other earrings — the same look but stays on much better. They’re in my second piercing (more sensitive to metals) and haven’t had a single problem.”

If studs are your look, but you want a bit more visual interest, this pair with a geometric floral style fits the bill. The intricate shapes inside bring a romantic, feminine flare to jeans and a T-shirt or even to an office-appropriate outfit.

Big silver hoops make a statement and are meant to be seen. Go for a streetwear look with this pair: graphic tees and tracksuits or sweats with sneakers are a great juxtaposition to the bold feminine appeal of the earrings. And don’t worry about these tugging on your lobes; they’re made of lightweight Sterling silver tubing.

“Hoops of dreams,” wrote a fan “Stunning earrings! Gives any outfit from jeans to a summer dress the look you were hoping for … it completes the look!”

Threader earrings work well as the first earring in a stack thanks to their vertical, neck-lengthening shape. This is a youthful look that celebs like Kendall Jenner famously rock. Give this pair a go with silky blouses or a trendy jumpsuit or romper to keep it playful.

The modern Sterling silver beauties stay secure with no post in the back. “These lovely earrings are the perfect size, shape and weight. They move from day to night flawlessly,” wrote a customer of the classic pair.

The ultimate day-to-night earrings are these teardrop-shaped, chin-length ones that bring the glamour. The sterling silver pair would elevate daytime athleisure, but when it’s time for date night, let them dial up the style of a cute top and slacks.

“Nicely proportioned drops with a satin inner loop,” wrote a customer of the earrings’ dual glossy/satin finish.

With these studs, you get a double dose of freshwater cultured pearls on each ear. And since the pearl symbolizes a bond between two people, it’s extra meaningful — and a great gift by its very nature. 

These earrings are classic, so they’ll always go with a more demure outfit. But pairing them with something edgier — think leather, denim, or animal prints — is really the move with a bauble this classy.

Give your outfit a burst of color with sparkling amethyst gemstone earrings set inside textured rope detailing.
