Alexis Bittar Crystal Encrusted Golden Pierced Earrings

Few jewelry designers have exploded the way Alexis Bittar has. CFDA Awards, multiple store openings, a slew of A-list designer collaboration, and the list goes on and on. Luckily the attention the young designer has been getting is all very well deserved! The New Yorker is a unique talent and he has a vast collection of affordable, versatile finds. I love the Crystal Encrusted Golden Earrings pictured above. I just got them at the Madison Ave store in NYC in rose gold.  Marked down to only $90 ($115 in Alexis Bittar boutiques), the cupped earrings' concave form with hammered texture and Swarovski crystals make them attention grabbing without being ostentatious. They're a bit heavy though and to give you an idea of the size, about 1/3 of the earring hangs below the lobe. I'm wearing them at the moment with a white tee and stacked gold chain necklaces:-)
