When heading out on a first date with a new guy, you want to look hot as hell, right? You spend hours making sure your outfit is on point, your makeup is done to perfection and you’re presenting your absolute best self. If there’s chemistry between you, there should be no shortage of things to talk about with the guy across the table, but if you show up wearing one of these pairs of earrings, he’s bound to take notice.

These silver ear crawlers are simple and elegant, which we’re sure totally describes you, but they’re also way more unique than your standard gemstone studs — not hating on the classics, but sometimes they need a modern spin. Plus, they look way more expensive than they are, which is always a plus. If you prefer gold, there are always these crystal ear crawlers instead.
Hear me out on this — you might think LED earrings are kinda tacky, and in theory they probably are. In actuality, however, glowing rhinestone studs are actually pretty cool and definitely different and your date will likely be enthralled by them (or at least be able to spot you in a dark room when you make out).
These dainty sterling silver star cuffs
If you’re not feeling traditional earrings (or don’t have your ears pierced), harken back to your middle school days when cartilage piercings were all the rage and wear these clip on ear cuffs. They’re dainty as hell and will totally stand out.
These beautiful shooting star crawlers
Ear crawlers are definitely the latest “it” thing in the earring world, and for good reason: they’re beautiful. These shooting star crawlers are no exception, especially if you’re a hopeless romantic that makes wishes on meteors and stuff. (People totally do that, right??)
These ridiculously gorgeous sterling silver tulip ear cuffs
If a guy notices these and compliments you on these gorgeous tulip earrings, you know he’s a keeper. They totally give off a classic Beauty & The Beast vibe (yeah, it was a rose in the movie, but you know what I’m talking about) that’s whimsical and magical and just perfect.
You’re a beautiful angel sent from heaven above (at least in his eyes, right?), so why not cement that image in his mind by wearing actual angel wing earrings? (Or, you know, you could just wear them because they’re super unique.)
If dainty isn’t really your style and you’re a bit more badass/edgy, obviously you need these skull studs. They’ve still got a bit of glamour to them thanks to the stones, but the skulls will show your date that you’re bringing a little something extra to the table.
These silver plated ear jackets are exactly what they sound like — they’re jackets! For your ears! Okay, but seriously, these super fancy two-part earrings will definitely look amazing with basically any outfit. Are they studs? Are they drop earrings? They’re both!
Okay so we know we said the skull studs were badass, but these snake cuffs are something special. Wearing snakes on your ears is sure to send the message that you’ve got a serious bite when provoked… or that you just really like reptiles. Either way, they’re awesome!
These double stud drop earrings
If you’ve got a bit of a colorful personality, you probably want to reflect that in your accessories, which is why these vibrant ass double sided earrings are perfect. They’re still super classy and not over-the-top, but they have a bit of a disco quality about them in the best way possible.
Similar to the earlier mentioned crawlers, but these ones boast thicker/bigger gems, making them a bit more noticeable and statement-worthy.
If you’re more silver than gold but still vibe on the angel thing, these angel wings are for you. They’re almost Grecian, in a way, right? Get your Athena on with these.
