If you love fashion as much as we do, then you probably want to hear all about the newest jewelry trends. So far, we’ve seen multiple emerging trends with different jewelry pieces, but for this article, we decided to zoom in and focus on one category we love, earrings.
So, what are the main earring trends for 2026? Instead of guessing, we did the research. We analyzed search data, tracked what’s gaining traction on TikTok and Instagram, and listened closely to our customers through a survey. The result? A clear picture of the earring trends set to define the year ahead.
1. Hoop earrings
Hoops are here to stay (and we are not complaining). If you can recall Jennifer Lopez’s iconic huge hoop earrings, which became her signature style around 2003, then you’ve seen how trends tend to come back stronger.
What’s different now is how versatile they’ve become. From delicate, diamond-accented hoops to oversized, chunky styles and long silhouettes, hoops are everywhere again, just in different forms. We’re seeing them constantly on Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid, across social feeds, and our own customers keep choosing them as their everyday go-to. So, if you haven’t already, consider getting a pair of trusty hoop earrings you can style with almost any look.
2. Pearl earrings
Scroll through TikTok and you’ll spot them everywhere. Paired with slick buns, soft makeup, and clean outfits, pearl earrings have become the go-to detail for adding a polished touch without trying too hard.
What’s making pearls so popular right now? From what we’ve seen, it’s how easy they are to wear. Delicate pearl studs pair beautifully with soft waves and natural textures, while minimal designs work perfectly with the clean look everyone’s loving right now.

3. Statement studs
This trend goes hand-in-hand with chunky metals. We are seeing plenty of statement stud earrings make their way to the runways and to the stylish street style of celebrities, featuring bold designs that catch the eye.
In case you didn’t know, Matthieu Blazy is the man responsible for this bubbly earring trend. Perhaps you remember Bottega’s teardrop-shaped earrings that went viral earlier this year, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Now similar designs are popping up, and they look amazing.
We’ve seen some beautiful earrings in different materials and colors (gold, silver, and rose gold), and they all look like the perfect accessory to level up your daily style.
4. Earring stacks
Earring sets continue to grow in popularity, and it’s easy to see why. Mixing multiple earrings on one ear feels styled and anything but boring. From tiny studs paired with huggies to cuffs and climbers layered together, stacking lets you create a look that feels completely your own.
Our customers love that earring stacks can feel minimal or bold, depending on how you wear them, making them perfect for everyday styling without overthinking it.

5. Huggie earrings
Huggie earrings continue to be a favorite, especially when it comes to styling and layering. Their compact shape makes them easy to mix and match, which is why we’re seeing them styled in stacks more than ever. Layered in different sizes, textures, and finishes, huggies add dimension without going over the top.
One of the strongest trends is a simple hoop with a delicate charm, worn solo or paired with another small huggie. It adds just enough detail without taking over the look. They work perfectly with everyday outfits, slick hair, soft waves, and that relaxed, put-together feel everyone’s going for right now.
6. Drop earrings
If you love making a statement through your style but aren’t ready to go full chunky, this trend is for you. Long drop earrings are having a moment, bringing drama through length rather than volume.
We’re seeing elongated designs everywhere, from runways to everyday looks. Earrings that fall toward the shoulders instantly elevate an outfit, adding movement and elegance without feeling overdone.

If you’ve pierced your ears multiple times, but always had to take it out for any reason, then you’ll love ear cuffs. Seeing that big luxury brands are finally embracing the no-piercings-needed ear cuffs in standout styles filled us with joy.
Mix up your ear cuffs from bold to dainty, silver or gold, chunky or delicate – whatever your preference, they’re all trending this year.

8. Dangle earrings
Dangle earrings are a type of earring that hang below the earlobe and are defined by their free, natural movement. Right now, we’re seeing lighter styles everywhere, thin chains, delicate drops, and dangling backs that move naturally with you. They’re the kind of earrings that catch the eye without trying too hard.
9. Teardrop earrings
Teardrop earrings have been gaining momentum year after year, and it’s not hard to see why. We’ve been tracking trends over time, and over the past five years, interest in this style has grown by 87%, now reaching more to 6,5000 monthly searches.
That’s why we’re seeing them everywhere on TikTok and Instagram. Teardrop silhouettes keep showing up in everyday looks, event styling, and street style, especially in gold finishes, which are clearly the most popular right now.
10. Mixed metal earrings
Mixed metal earrings are becoming more popular because of how they’re being styled, especially in stacks. Before, ear stacks were usually kept within one metal, all gold or all silver. Now, mixing finishes feels natural and intentional.
What we’re seeing most is gold hoops paired with silver studs, different metals layered across multiple piercings, and combinations that feel relaxed rather than perfectly matched.
Below, you’ll find a visual breakdown of the top earring styles mentioned above, ranked by their level of popularity.
This overview is based on a combination of Google Trends data, direct customer insights, and what we’re consistently seeing across social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Together, these signals helped us identify the earring trends that are truly shaping the year ahead.
So go get yourself a pair of beautiful earrings and wear them confidently, the trends are on your side.
