If there's one thing that takes your day from ordinary to extraordinary, it's a pair of statement earrings. You could be wearing the simplest of outfits (for example, a white T-shirt and jeans), but throw on a pair of arresting drop-earrings and you're suddenly working with something special.
That said, we paid homage to Marni's resort '13 show where Consuelo Castiglioni paired her schoolgirl separates with leather-backed gem jewelry. With just some simple sewing skills and a trip to the craft supply shop, you, too, can create a stunning set of earrings.
