I’m still thinking about some of the fashion from the 2018 CFDA Awards—mostly Issa Rae’s jumpsuit, which I wrote about earlier this week, but also, her earrings.

She wore a pair of mismatched Mateo earrings—in one ear, a stud, in the other, a long, chain-like drop that nearly dusted her shoulder.

I love the asymmetric look. I’ve always found it fun, and remember just a few years ago when the style was all the rage—it seemed to spike right after our collective obsession with ear climbers, remember? So I was surprised to find that it had made a comeback so soon—that is, its availability hasn’t necessarily waned, nor has its likability, but as far as demand, we seem to have reached peak obsession again.

I always say to take the word trending with a grain of salt, and not to confuse it with trend, which is often (I think incorrectly) used as a synonym for fad. Especially in jewelry where certain styles or gemstones seem to be all the rage at one point or another, when they’re really just experiencing a natural ebb and flow—unlike a fad, they’re unlikely to become tiresome, or fall off the face of the earth until the next decade.
