Earrings

At The Willow Tree Boutique, we focus on fashion jewelry instead of fine jewelry. While some designers work with gold plating and sterling silver materials, many of our designers prefer resin, beads, leather, and fabric. You’ll be able to find the materials for each pair of earrings on its individual product page.

If you’re sensitive to various metals or materials, please reach out to our team for more specific information about our boutique earring designs.

Fashion jewelry typically uses base metals made from copper and brass instead of gold, silver, or platinum. Most of the accents on fashion jewelry are also usually easier to source, including resin, glass, and crystal, instead of diamonds and precious gemstones.

When using precious metals in fashion jewelry, you’ll likely see that they plate a different base metal in gold or silver to allow people with allergies to wear the jewelry more easily.

Right now, we’re seeing a surge in beaded cute big earrings from some of our top brand names. However, fashion turns on a dime, so you’ll need to keep an eye on our new arrivals to ensure you stay up to date on the newest trends.

We’re not about gatekeeping styles just because you have a particular face shape or haircut. But if you feel the need to maximize your assets based on common beauty standards, here’s where you should start:

• Round faces do best with long, dangling boutique earrings.
• Heart faces look best with studs that are narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.
• Square faces should look for medium-length earrings with rounded edges.
• Oval-shaped faces can wear pretty much any style, from cute big earrings to dainty options!

The general rule for hair is that longer hair looks best with dangling earrings, while short hair looks best with small hoops, studs, and cuffs.

There is no magic number that determines how many boutique earrings you should own. You’ll have to examine your own lifestyle and fashion preferences to determine the right choice for you.

Are you someone who prefers to keep it simple with classic pearl studs and one bold pair for special occasions? Keep your collection small with three to four pairs. On the other hand, if you need a different pair of earrings for each outfit, you may want to have 15 to 20 pairs in your jewelry box!

You can typically return or exchange anything from our jewelry selection—unless they’re final sale items. All jewelry must be unworn, clean, and in its original packaging. Please visit our return FAQs page for more information.
