You’re never fully dressed without a smile, but in my opinion, a pair of gold earrings never hurts either.
The MVPs of the jewellery world, gold earrings have the ability to completely switch up a look. Whether you go for an elaborate, dangly design to add some spice to a regular workday or just after a dainty stud for a simple, elegant look, a good pair of gold earrings is a wardrobe must-have.
RELATED: Best Australian jewellery brands
One of my favourite brands is Mejuri. The celebrity-approved brand is not only fairly affordable but also has some super chic pieces including the $138 Dome Hoops worn by Sydney Sweeney and the $168 Chunky Huggie Hoops loved by Meghan Markle.
“Stylish, edgy and timeless at the same time. Super comfortable,” wrote one five-star review, while another said, “I wear to sleep, to shower, and it hasn’t irritated my sensitive skin at all. Absolutely love it!”
Mejuri pieces are definitely worth every cent.
Another favourite is Argent Silversmith. The Italian Hoops from the local Aussie brand are available in four different sizes and perfect for every occasion.

I’ve been on the hunt for a new gold huggie to wear everyday and the Monroe Huggies from Francesca are absolutely perfect.

A classic everyday style, the Dome Huggies are one of the Mejuri’s best-selling styles for a reason. The lobe-hugging design means they won’t feel too big or heavy during the day but the sleek, sculptural look is also perfect for night-time too.

What You Need To Know
These earrings had such a chokehold on my generation a few years back that you couldn’t go on a night out without seeing someone wearing them. But that’s not to say they weren’t 100 per cent worth the hype because they were and still are.
I’m just as obsessed now as I was then. The spiral design is so fun and such a great take on the classic hoop. Plus, they work for just about any occasion.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING GOLD EARRINGS
When looking for the right gold earrings to include in our list, we evaluated several factors:
Material: While 24k solid gold may be the highest karat of gold, it’s not only incredibly expensive but also too soft for everyday wear.
Price: It’s common knowledge that the more expensive the piece, the higher quality it will be but that’s not in everyone’s budget so we made sure to include a range of prices.
Care: Is the piece something that can be worn everyday, in the pool or the ocean? These are factors to consider.
Trend: Jewellery pieces are something we usually keep for years to come so we included designs that wouldn’t be out of style in a few months time.

Our team of experienced writers spend hours researching products to include in articles. We find out what factors make a good product by talking to experts, reviewing test results and analysing thousands of customer reviews.
