Covet that look: Marni Chunky Earrings

Welcome to another round of "Covet that Look" where we take designer pieces and show you alternatives inspired by the real deal, at a fraction of their cost. Today's spotlight is on accessories, specifically from the Fall runways of Marni, where jumbo-sized pieces dangled from the models' ears. It's a trend where the neck is left bare and the ears become the star. And beautiful as these pieces are, they're not within reach for most of us.

Here's the different ways to adopt this key piece, without overwhelming our bank accounts!

Rose Gold

Covet That Look: Marni Chunky Earrings

Katalina Semi Precious Earrings from Forever New

This art-deco inspired piece can be paired with light coloured pieces and fluid dresses. Think delicate, swishy maxi dresses sashaying with this pair of rose gold stunners. The colour is more subtle than yellow gold so the effect is soft and shimmery.

Fabric Tassel

Izabella Fabric Tassel Drop Earrings from Forever New

Feeling a little more daring? This fun pair of tasselled earrings are the ones for you!

Wear this for a night out of town, ditch the necklace and watch these command attention in any room. Being reasonably neutral in colour, this pair of danglers are versatile enough to go with anything.

Just watch out if you have a very rounded face shape as the silver stones may overly emphasise the roundness.
