5 great ellipse earrings for spring 2014

Seems that everyone is doing ellipse earrings at the moment! Maybe Delfina Delettrez started the trend with her surrealist lip, eye, bee pieces. Although their long sleek shape is really beautiful and particularly flatters a round face, the funny decorative elements never really matched my taste. As a matter of fact I was more than happy when I recently saw a simple double pearl version in the online store (Delfina Delettrez double pearl ellipse earrings, 395 EURO, http://www.delfinadelettrez.it). They are not only great to be worn alone, but also a fabulous paring with a variety of other earrings.

Sophie Bille Brahe might be a lesser known name in the jewelry field. However, her ellipse earrings, which are sold at Colette Paris, are incredible. While the Delfina Delettrez ellipse earrings have a more vertical design, which is strongly reminiscent of the belly button piercing, Sophie Bille Brahe chooses a more horizontal approach (… just a little like a belly button banana worn upside down). As the earrings are quite gracile its possible to match them effortlessly with a large variety of other small earring styles.

Another cool version comes from Chloe. The Darcey ellipse earrings are a double pearl style with a shape reminiscent of a septum piercing. Similar to the Delfina Delettrez and Sophie Bille Brahe style they are not exclusively dedicated to be worn as a statement a combination with other small earrings might be possible (Chloe Darcey, 146 EURO, http://www.saksfifthavenue.com).

Another small but beautiful version of the ellipse earrings comes from Asos and good news for all who don’t want to spend too much – Its just 7.03 EURO!!!

And of course the best known among the ellipse earrings might be the Dior tribal style (…OK its not really an ellipse but has a very similar effect!). In contrast to the other styles its quiet big and a little bulky. As a matter of fact I only like the look worn asymmetrically as a statement of course with the matching asymmetric hairstyle. Furthermore, its only beautiful in woman with slim faces and can severely distort a round face. While I also feel that its possible to wear the above mentioned styles with your optical glasses I really don’t like a statement earring, like the Dior tribal, combined with glasses. (OK that’s just my opinion – But after seeing an estimated 100 of street style photos of people wearing them, plus an estimated 200 of people wearing them or the self-made alteration in the streets there might be some truth behind it.) For all who do not already know – in the European Union the earrings can be bought at the Dior stores for 270 EURO (the white pearl version). However, chances are that they don’t have them and suggest you to put you on a waiting list!
