Nearly two years ago, I was obsessed with this one pair of faux pearl and gold-ish earrings from Jennifer Behr. Cut to me finding them on Shopbop on markdown, on promotion, only to have to return them because they weighed so damn heavy on my earlobes. I would have never ended up wearing them for them only to sit in my jewelry box.
Eventually, I found a pair of lighter weight, and cheaper ones from the J.Crew Factory Store. And then two more pairs from standard J.Crew
Since then, I have noted an inflexed of button earrings in variations of the materials.
