Why Bow Earrings Are Having a Moment
Bows have gone from sweet to seriously stylish in 2026. The coquette aesthetic — that blend of feminine, playful, and polished — has taken over everything from runway shows to TikTok styling videos, and bow earrings sit right at the center of it. If you're into the coquette accessories trend, bow earrings are your starting point.
But here's what makes bow earrings different from other trends: they don't expire. Hearts, bows, and classic shapes have been in jewelry for centuries. The current moment just gives you permission to wear them bigger, bolder, and more often. A pair of gold bow earrings purchased today will still look perfect in 2030 — which is more than you can say for most trend pieces.
This is the same timeless-meets-trendy energy that's driving the brooch revival, the brass cuff trend, and the charm necklace explosion — accessories with personality that feel both of-the-moment and built to last.
The Bow Earring Collection
The Classic — Gold Bow and Heart Earrings
SHOP Gold Bow and Heart Earrings — $48
This is the one that started it all for us. The Gold Bow and Heart Earrings ($48) have that perfect balance of romantic and playful that just works no matter what you're doing. The heart charm hangs just below the bow, adding a little movement and dimension without being over the top — it catches the light when you turn your head, and that's genuinely all the sparkle you need.
These are the go-to for someone who wants to wear bow earrings every day without feeling like they're making a big statement. They're small enough to work at the office, cute enough to dress up a date night outfit, and romantic enough to be a perfect gift — especially if you're shopping for someone who loves a little heart detail. Pair them with a gold charm necklace and you've got a complete jewelry moment without overthinking it.
The Statement — Gold Chain Bow Dangle Earrings
SHOP Gold Chain Bow Dangle Earrings — $68
If the bow heart earrings are your everyday, the Gold Chain Bow Dangle Earrings ($68) are your "I want people to notice" pair. The longer drop with a dangling chain detail adds real movement and drama. They catch light every time you move your head, which means they photograph beautifully and turn heads in person.
The chain gives them that slightly edgier feel compared to the classic bow shape — it's still elegant, but there's a boldness that feels more fashion-forward. These are perfect for evenings out, events, or any time you want your earrings to do the talking and keep everything else simple. Wear them with a little black dress or even just a black top and jeans — the contrast is what makes it work. For more ideas on styling bold earrings, check out our statement earrings styling guide.
The Everyday — Gold Bow Stud Earrings
SHOP Gold Bow Stud Earrings — $58
Not every bow earring needs to make a grand entrance — sometimes you just want something that quietly pulls your outfit together. The Gold Bow Stud Earrings ($58) are exactly that. They sit close to the ear, they're lightweight, and they add just enough detail that people notice without it being the first thing they see.
These are the ones you reach for on a Tuesday morning when you want to look put together but you're not trying to plan an outfit around your jewelry. Throw them on with your favorite blouse and a clutch purse and you've got a polished look in about thirty seconds. They're also a great first bow earring if you're not sure how much statement you want — start here, and work your way up.
The Bold — Pink Sparkle Bow Earrings
SHOP Pink Sparkle Bow Earrings — $48
If gold isn't your thing — or if you just want something with a little more personality — the Pink Sparkle Bow Earrings ($48) are the move. The glitter and sparkle give them a fun, slightly retro feel that's different from the gold pieces, and the pink tones add a pop of color that works year-round. They're playful without being childish, which is a harder balance to hit than you'd think.
These are great for adding color to an all-black outfit, dressing up a casual weekend look, or just being the fun earring in your rotation when you want something different. They also make an incredibly easy gift — bright, cheerful, and instantly wearable by anyone. If you're into the pink and feminine vibe, these pair perfectly with the Pink Heart Cherry Charm Necklace ($48) for a coordinated playful look under $100.
The Glamour — Crystal Bow Drop Earrings
SHOP Crystal Bow Drop Earrings — $94
This is the showstopper of the collection. The Crystal Bow Drop Earrings ($94) take the classic bow shape and cover it in hundreds of rhinestones with cascading dangling strands that catch light from every angle. They're about 1.2 inches by 2 inches — big enough to be noticed, not so big that they feel like a costume piece. The movement of the dangling rhinestones is genuinely gorgeous, especially when you're photographed or moving through a room.
These are the bow earrings for when you want to be the main event. Wear them with something simple — a solid black top, clean jeans, minimal everything else — and let the earrings do all the work. They're perfect for parties, holidays, date nights, or honestly any time you want to feel like the most glamorous person in the room. At $94, they're a serious sparkle upgrade without breaking the bank. If you love statement jewelry that makes an entrance, see our earrings for your face shape guide to make sure you're choosing drops that flatter your features.

You want romantic and sweet: The Bow and Heart Earrings ($48). The heart charm adds just the right amount of personality without being over the top.
You want edgy movement: The Chain Bow Dangles ($68). That chain detail gives a fashion-forward edge that photographs beautifully.

Styling Bow Earrings for Every Occasion
Work and Professional Settings
Bow earrings are secretly one of the best office accessories because they read as polished and feminine without being distracting. The Bow Studs ($58) are the obvious work choice — they add personality to a blazer and blouse without competing for attention. But don't sleep on the Bow and Heart Earrings ($48) either — the small heart dangle is professional enough for any office.
For work styling, pair your bow earrings with simple necklace layers — a Gold Puffy Heart Necklace ($118) or a "Fearless" pendant ($98) keeps the focus balanced between your ears and neckline. Add a brooch on your blazer and you've got full accessory armor for any meeting.
Date Night and Evening
This is where the Chain Bow Dangles ($68) and the Crystal Bow Drops ($94) shine. Longer earrings draw attention to your face and jawline, and the movement catches candlelight beautifully. Pair them with a simple neckline — strapless, V-neck, or off-shoulder — and let the earrings be the star. Keep necklaces minimal or skip them entirely when wearing statement bow earrings. Your hair pulled back or tucked behind your ears shows them off best.
Casual Weekend
Weekend is when you can have the most fun with bow earrings. The Pink Sparkle Bows ($48) with a denim jacket and white tee? Weekend perfection. The Bow Hearts ($48) with a sundress? Effortless spring style. Even the studs with athleisure and a headband work beautifully — because looking put together doesn't have to mean getting dressed up.
Special Events and Weddings
The Crystal Bow Drops ($94) were practically designed for events. The rhinestones catch light in every photo, and the bow shape reads as elegant rather than costume-y. For weddings, they work with everything from garden party florals to sleek cocktail dresses. Pair them with a clutch purse and simple bracelet — the earrings carry the look.
Complete the Bow Look: Beyond Earrings
Once you've found your perfect bow earring, here's a thought: why stop there? We carry bow-inspired pieces across categories that are designed to work together — and pairing them with your earrings is one of the easiest ways to create a coordinated look without it feeling like a costume.
SHOP Brass Bow Collar Choker Necklace — $188
The Brass Bow Collar Choker Necklace ($188) sits beautifully at your neckline with a 3-inch brass bow as the focal point. It's adjustable and the solid brass has a gorgeous warmth that complements gold bow earrings perfectly. Pair the choker with the Bow Tie Brass Cuff Bracelet ($158) and your favorite bow earrings, and you've got a full coordinated bow moment — ears, neck, and wrist all tied together with the same motif. It's the kind of look that feels intentional without being fussy.
One thing to know about the brass pieces: they arrive in a shiny gold finish and will develop a natural patina over time as you wear them. A lot of customers actually love how it deepens the look, but if you ever want to restore the shine, a little Bar Keepers Friend does the trick. For more brass styling tips, see our brass cuff styling guide.
Building Your Bow Earring Collection
You don't need all five at once (though we wouldn't judge). Here's a smart way to build your bow earring wardrobe strategically — the same approach that works for building a brooch collection or a charm necklace collection.
Start with the studs ($58). They work for everything — work, weekends, errands, date night. They're your foundation piece that proves bow earrings work in your life.
Add the heart dangles ($48). Now you have an everyday option AND a romantic option. Two earrings, two completely different vibes.
Then go statement. Either the Chain Dangles ($68) for edgy movement or the Crystal Drops ($94) for full glamour. Now you've got everyday, romantic, AND event-ready covered.
The pink bows ($48) are the wildcard. Add them when you want something completely different in your rotation — a pop of color that breaks up all that gold.
Bow Earrings as Gifts
Bow earrings make ridiculously easy gifts because they work for literally everyone. The shape is universally flattering, the price points are accessible, and there's a style for every personality.
For the minimalist: Bow Studs ($58) — simple, elegant, impossible to get wrong.
For the romantic: Bow and Heart Earrings ($48) — the heart detail makes it feel more personal and thoughtful.
For the fun friend: Pink Sparkle Bows ($48) — bright, cheerful, instantly wearable.
For the glamour lover: Crystal Bow Drops ($94) — the kind of gift that gets the "oh my GOD" reaction when they open the box.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bow Earrings
Are bow earrings too trendy or will they last?
Bows are one of those shapes that never truly go out of style — they've been in jewelry for centuries. The current coquette trend amplifies them, but even when trends shift, a gold bow earring will still look classic and polished. Think of them like hearts or stars — always relevant.
Which bow earring is best for sensitive ears?
The Gold Bow Studs ($58) are the lightest option and sit close to the ear, making them the most comfortable for extended wear. If you have metal sensitivities, look for hypoallergenic posts or apply a thin coat of clear nail polish to the post before wearing.
Can I wear bow earrings to work?
Absolutely. The studs ($58) and heart earrings ($48) are both office-appropriate. They read as polished and feminine without being distracting. Save the crystal drops and chain dangles for after-hours or creative workplaces.
How do I style bow earrings without looking too girly?
Contrast is your friend. Pair feminine bow earrings with structured pieces — a blazer, tailored trousers, a leather jacket. The Chain Bow Dangles ($68) have a natural edge to them that balances the femininity. Mixing bows with brass cuffs or mixed metals also toughens up the look.
What necklace should I wear with bow earrings?
With studs or small dangles, you can wear a statement necklace or layered necklaces. With the crystal drops or chain dangles, keep necklaces minimal or skip them — let the earrings be the star. The Brass Bow Choker ($188) is the exception — it's designed to coordinate with bow earrings specifically.
Are crystal bow earrings too dressy for daytime?
Not at all — it depends on what you pair them with. The Crystal Bow Drops ($94) with jeans and a white tee looks effortlessly cool, not overdressed. The contrast between casual clothing and glamorous earrings is what makes it work. Save the "full glamour" styling for events.
What face shape looks best in bow earrings?
Bow earrings are universally flattering because of the soft curves of the bow shape. Studs work on every face shape. Longer dangles and drops are especially flattering for round and square faces because they create elongation. For a detailed breakdown, see our earrings for every face shape guide.
How do I care for rhinestone bow earrings?
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. Avoid getting them wet — water can loosen rhinestone settings over time. Store them separately from other jewelry to prevent scratching. Never use ultrasonic cleaners on rhinestone pieces. For your gold bow earrings, see our gold jewelry care guide.
Can I mix bow earrings with other jewelry trends?
Yes — and you should. Bow earrings with stacked brass cuffs, layered necklaces, and a statement brooch creates a collected, maximalist look that's very 2026. The key is keeping one piece as the focal point and letting others play supporting roles.
What's the most affordable way to start a bow earring collection?
The Gold Bow and Heart Earrings ($48) and the Pink Sparkle Bows ($48) are both just $48. Grab both for under $100 and you have a gold option and a color option — two completely different looks.
