Haute Couture Emerald Statement Earrings

There are times when all you need to feel pretty and reinvigorated is a great pair of statement earrings. Forget the necklaces, forget the bracelets, and explore some of the best ways to incorporate a pair of haute couture statement earrings into your wardrobe.

What is Haute Couture Jewelry?

Haute couture is French term originating in the fashion world that means "high sewing," but it has come to encompass much more than just clothing.

Haute couture jewelry, which is also known as high jewelry, depicts jewelry that is created by designers with as much care put toward the design and execution as a couture runway gown would. 

Lucky for us, a great pair of haute couture earrings will last much longer than one season. Let's take Elizabeth Taylor for example who wore her important jewelry pieces for decades, having them never fall out of fashion. 

What are Statement Earrings?

Statement earrings are similar to haute couture earrings in that they are usually designed by an important designer or design house, but they don't necessarily have to be. A pair of statement earrings simply makes a statement because they are large and vibrant.

This look is balanced perfectly between only one pair of long earrings, a dark lip, and neutral eyes. When wearing an eye-catching pair of earrings, it is important to pick and choose what else you want to accentuate. 

Large Haute Couture Drop Earrings

I love this look because only one earring is really highlighted, which if both were in view if the hair was pulled back, I think the earrings would overwhelm the face. Give yourself a deep side part, keep one side of  your hair pulled behind your ears, then let the rest curl over your other shoulder. 

Haute Couture Dangle Earrings

This look certainly isn't for everyone and shows off more of what we see on runways. Make this look wearable by adding a simple headband, some soft blue statement earrings, and a red lip. 

Haute Couture Coral Earrings

This everyday statement earring look incorporates a half-up-half-down hairdo with a lip that matches the earrings perfectly.
