Christmas Earrings That Get Compliments

Christmas earrings are the easiest way to look festive without wearing a light-up sweater. Ours are the fun kind: pups in Santa hats hopelessly tangled in Christmas lights, cozy winter woodland scenes, gnomes, gingerbread, snowmen and plaid. They're the pair that gets a where did you get those? at the cookie exchange, the office party and the family photo. And because they're feather-light, you'll still be wearing them when the dishes are done.

Christmas Lights earrings

Our funniest holiday pairs. A dog (or cat, or highland cow) in a Santa hat, completely tangled in a strand of twinkling lights on a bright red, snowy background. Made for ugly sweater parties, Secret Santa and anyone whose pet has "helped" decorate the tree.

Winter Woodland earrings

The cozy, quieter option. Each breed is curled up on snowy pine boughs in a plaid scarf, with pinecones and a glowing lantern in soft watercolor. Christmassy without shouting, so they stay in rotation from the first snow all the way through January.

Classic Christmas earrings

Christmas trees, Santa, snowmen, gingerbread, gnomes, reindeer, poinsettias, snowflakes and buffalo plaid, in reds, greens, golds and soft neutrals. Plenty of these work just as well at church on Sunday as at the office party.

Frequently asked questions

Are these Christmas earrings heavy?

No. They're printed wood or acrylic just 1/8" thick, so they're feather-light. If you've given up on dangle earrings because they pull on your earlobes, these are the ones to try.

Are they safe for sensitive ears?

Yes. Every pair uses hypoallergenic surgical stainless steel earwires, so they won't tarnish or turn your ears green. The gold-tone earwires are gold plating over stainless steel.

Is the design on both sides?

Yes, our wood teardrop earrings are printed on both sides, so they look finished from every angle.

Can I wear them after Christmas?

Absolutely. The Winter Woodland, snowflake and snowman styles work all winter long, not just on December 25.

Do Christmas earrings make a good gift?

They're one of the easiest gifts to get right. At $16 they work as stocking stuffers, Secret Santa and white elephant gifts, teacher and coworker gifts, and a little something for the dog mom on your list. Every pair arrives packaged and gift-ready, and you can add individual gift boxes when you're buying several.

When should I order for Christmas?

We make and ship most orders in 1 to 5 business days, and delivery usually takes another 3 to 7 days after that. Ordering earlier in December is your safest bet. If you need your order by a specific date, leave a note at checkout and we'll do our best.

Can I return Christmas earrings?

Yes. Non-personalized items can be returned if you contact us within 7 days of receiving your order. Return shipping is paid by the buyer, and original shipping fees aren't refundable.
