"oversized" Earrings

[valerie]

For a while I have been looking for some really big hoop earrings (in silver) but I can't seem to find them..I do find these regular ones but they're not big enough for me !! So, if you find some and you think "wow these are really big", post them please!!! Thank you !!

Hi everyone!! Can someone tell me where i could find earrings like the one's from Galliano that Hana is wearing on that pic.. i really love them

thanks in advance

well the picture says to look at the "In this Issue" section so if you remember where you saw those amazing earrings im sure you can figure it out - i really hope that wasnt already obvious to you b/c then i would just feel like a jerk

 

[vintage_princess]

I dont know about those particular ones but plenty of vintage places sell big earrings like that

 

[pradaromance]

Yes, look into vintage...or maybe make them?

I'm pretty sure valerie knows this, but doesn't want to buy the Galliano ones due to their price, and I don't blame her. I think the Galliano ones are going for about $400-500. Over 300 at the least, I'm sure. And they're faux! :/

I suggest trying a vintage shop, or maybe ebay. I know you can find similar for way less!

there are these from banana republic

not quite the same but hey, i try

i don't think those would be really hard to make if you could find some faux pearls

 

[zadie]

hmmm yes i definitely missed the part where she said she was looking for earrings "like" the ones in the picture oh well .....

Oh I just pearls. I really love mixing something classic like pearls with something more funky

 

[oceanharlot]

i have been SEARCHING everywhere for large teardrop pearls like that. they are always diminuitive and not what i want. these are so cute!

 

[dramatique]

Those are like the ones in a picture of the Girl with The Pearl Earring. Nothing to do with fashion I know but I loved the book!

 

[vintage_princess]

Im guessing you're from the States so i dont know about shipping internationally, but i found these on ebay they are faux-pearl

 

[valerie]

i'm from Belgium.. :s so maybe some of you can give me some websites where i could find big vintage ones like these
btw those from banana republic are reallly nice
thanks for the help

Make them? They're just beads on one of those metal jewelry nail things.. find the beads... string 'em on... POOF you saved yourself a fortune.

I agree with that.
The Galliano ones definitely would be easy to replicate. All you have to do is make a stop by your local craft store, and they'll more than likely have the right pearls and such. The Galliano ones have a "fish hook" on them, and those can be easily found at a crafts store as well.
