The newest "it" piece in the ear adornment category is a chic alternative to its bigger and bolder sister, the ear cuff. Requiring a single piercing, ear climbers are worn either as an accent piece or in pairs like normal earrings. For those looking to make a huge impact—both on their savings and in terms of style—there's designer Jack Vartanian's 18-karat yellow gold and black rhodium ear climber ($2,100). With a look as bold as this, one ear climber will do.

The one-inch yellow gold wing bends upward along the earlobe, and is designed to be worn on just one side ($120 for one at Brookyn-based boutique Catbird). We could picture Kate Mara and her sister Rooney Mara in these on their days off.

We found the set of ear climbers below (left) on Etsy for a mere $16, and there are countless other vintage options on the site, too, most of which are sold as pairs, including the ones pictured at middle ($32). Both remind us of Bryce Dallas Howard's version, which she wore to a film premiere back in August. If Hollywood's devotion to the sparkly trend says anything, we'll be seeing this look for quite some time.
