Shopping for clothes is great but have you ever spent a day solely searching for the perfect pair of earrings? It’s our favorite game at Modern East as the choices are endless making it easy to invest in 4 to 5 key pieces for each season.
The earrings trend for this SS19 season is a mix of charm shapes that include moons, stars, flowers, and hearts made in organic material like pearls, crystals, turquoise and of course gold.
Whether it be gold plated or gold made, the color is what matters this season, in previous seasons it was still on trend to mix in some silver colored pieces while today, you should only wear gold colored pieces.
We recommend you do an earring run at the start of each season and during the Sale period as they usually remain untouched and you could end up with the expensive pair you wanted for a small price; to keep you up to date we have rounded up all the designer pairs you need to keep an ear out for.
A key brand for this season is Lizzie Fortunato, the brainchild of twin sisters Lizzie and Kathryn Fortunato who founded the brand in 2008 with the intent of creating unique accessories that use unexpected material. They started with reclaimed and precious material and quickly became synonymous with unique, fashion-forward and artisanal craftwork jewelry.
Shop our favorite Lizzie Fortunato earrings starting with the white Piccolo pear earrings; a conversational piece that adds a whimsical touch to any outfit. They are made with unique mother of pearl drops and barely-there turquoise stone and would support you with day to night looks.

Last but not least is a brand that needs no introduction; Saint Laurent is a staple when it comes to fashion and accessories and this season his golden creations will definitely be copied by high fashion brands.
We picked out our favorites and they start with the most iconic metallic star single drop earring.
True to the label’s signature rock ‘n’ roll flair, it is crafted from antique effect gold-tone brass, with an engraved logo. It is a single earring and should be worn that way as adding another earring on the second ear would be overwhelming.
