While under-$100 finds still require some thoughtful consideration before purchasing, and an under-$50 item is great but also not entirely guilt-free, an under-$30 pair of earrings is one of those things I would buy with my eyes closed, as long as someone I trusted told me they were cool. After all, it’s not often you can find affordable jewelry that doesn’t look cheap, and with accessory trends constantly changing, it’s nice to stay on the safe side and stick to lower-priced pieces when you can.

Speaking of trends, you’ll soon notice that at the moment, gold hoops, pearls, and crystal statement earrings are all the rage, and thus make up a big portion of the below. But if none of those are quite your thing, not to worry because I’ve got plenty of other options, too. So with that, just keep scrolling to shop the best under-$30 earrings on the internet right now, and be sure to spread the love and share these finds with your friends.
