I don’t remember exactly how old I was when I first got my ears pierced—maybe around ten—but I do remember where it happened. It was at a very classy Claire’s in the mall, and I was probably more nervous than anyone should be for a simple ear piercing.
Since then I’ve collected more piercings: a few that are hard to see and several that have closed up over time. Unfortunately, many of my earlobe holes have closed. I’m itching to get them re-pierced, though, so I can finally wear all the statement earrings I’ve been buying. (Confession: I just bought #5 on this list and I’m eyeing #1, #3, and #6 too. I know the holes are closed. But YOLO.)
Below is a curated list of my favorite statement earrings for summer—pieces that grab attention and add instant personality to a warm-weather look.
