A beautiful pair of wedding earrings is an investment that will last far beyond the big day, whether you’re the Mother-of-the-Bride, a wedding guest, bridesmaid or even getting married yourself. No matter whether you buy diamonds, pearls, or a classic gold hoop, you are sure to wear your chosen style for years to come.

In fact, it’s actually worth spending that little bit more on earrings for this special occasion as, unlike satin shoes or fussy chiffon gowns, they are super wearable. If anything, timeless wedding earrings are a sustainable purchase – use them to elevate a simple outfit or add a touch of sparkle to any party look. What’s better, you don’t even need to have your ears pierced to accessorise, as we have found clip-on styles available from our favourite jewellery brands, too.

If you’re struggling to pick earrings for an upcoming wedding, look to the Royal family for some style inspiration. Diamonds are perfect for brides – who can forget the pear-cut drop pair Princess of Wales wore for her wedding in 2011?

Although pearls may seem particularly bridal, don’t be afraid to wear them as a wedding guest too; you’ll be styling them with everything from work to weekend outfits for years to come. For Mother-of-the-Bride looks, take notes from the Queen Consort. Camilla’s oversized drop pearls, hammered gold designs and chandelier earrings always look super polished when worn with smart tailored dresses or suits.

From traditional pearl drop earrings to delicate diamond studs, here's our edit of the 25 best wedding earrings available to shop now.
