Star earrings are the easiest motif jewellery to wear every day: a small star reads as a point of light in the ear, and a larger one works as a statement without needing a pendant to match. Our edit comes from Rosa de la Cruz at Coveti, where the star is one of the house’s most repeated shapes, and the best place to start is the Star Studs in yellow gold and brown diamonds, at $2,390 for the pair. Below are the star earrings and star necklaces we rate, sorted by size, with notes on how to pair them.
Key facts
- Rosa de la Cruz makes star earrings as studs, charm drops and 20mm and 25mm statement stars.
- Most of the stars are set with brown diamonds, in 18 carat yellow gold, rose gold and a dark rhodium finish over 18 carat gold.
- A turquoise version of the star appears in studs, charm earrings, charm necklaces and a 40mm pendant.
- Star necklaces in the edit run from a small charm on a chain to a 25mm pendant and a multi-star chain.
- All pieces are produced in small quantities, and Coveti ships them worldwide, insured and signed for.
How to choose star earrings
Size is the first choice. A stud sits flat on the lobe and is the one you will forget you are wearing; a charm earring adds a small drop and a little movement; a 20mm to 25mm star is a statement that suits a bare neck and hair worn back. Metal comes next. Yellow gold makes brown diamonds look warm and light, while the dark rhodium finish turns the same stones smoky and graphic.
| Style | Look | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Star stud | Small, flat to the lobe, daily wear | Star Studs in 18K Rhodium Gold, Brown Diamond, Pair |
| Star charm earring | A small star that hangs below the lobe | Star Charm Earrings in 18K Yellow Gold, Brown Diamond |
| Turquoise star | Colour first, set in gold | Turquoise Star Studs in 18K Yellow Gold, Turquoise, Pair |
| Statement star | A 25mm star with 1.65 carats of brown diamonds per pair | Star Earrings 25mm in 18K Yellow Gold, Brown Diamond, Pair |

Star necklaces follow the same logic as the earrings: a small charm for daily layering, a larger pendant for a single focal point.

A small brown diamond star on a fine chain. It is the base layer, and it matches the studs above.
9. Turquoise Star Charm Necklace in 18K Yellow Gold, Turquoise, $3,630
The turquoise star as a charm necklace. Wear it alone, and add a plain chain when you want more.
10. Star Pendant 25mm in 18K Yellow Gold, Brown Diamond, $5,500
A 25mm star pendant with 0.7 carats of brown diamonds in yellow gold. Large enough to be the only necklace you wear.
How to wear star jewellery
Keep the scale consistent. Small studs pair with a small star charm necklace; a 25mm pendant wants plain studs, and statement earrings want a bare neck. Mixing yellow gold and dark rhodium works when you repeat each finish at least twice, so the combination looks planned. For layering, start with the shortest star necklace and add a plain chain below it; our guide on how to layer necklaces covers lengths. To build a full ear, read how to build an ear stack, and for more charms see our charm necklace edit.
Frequently asked questions
Are star earrings in style?
Yes. Star earrings have become a jewellery staple rather than a passing trend, and small star studs in particular work with everyday clothes and evening looks alike.
What size star earrings should I buy?
Choose a stud for daily wear and for a second piercing, a charm earring for a little movement, and a 20mm to 25mm star when you want the earrings to be the focus of the look.
Do star earrings come as singles?
Many Rosa de la Cruz earrings are sold as singles so you can build an uneven ear, but the star studs in this edit are sold as pairs. Check the product name, which says Pair when two earrings are included.
How do you layer a star necklace?
Start with the star charm at the shortest length, then add one plain gold chain a few centimetres longer. Keep a large star pendant on its own so it reads as the focal point.
Should my star earrings and star necklace match?
They do not need to. Matching the metal is enough to make two pieces look like a set, and mixing a turquoise star with brown diamond stars adds colour without clashing.
