StyleSpy with Katrina Szish

BIG TREND ALERT
Super long -- often shoulder-grazing -- "look-at-me" earrings.  These are not the chandelier earrings we all loved for WAY too long back in 1997.  These new danglers have a significantly more glamorous appeal.

SEEN ON THE RED CARPET AT THE EMMYS:

Debra Messing in Cartier, Marcia Cross in Lorraine Schwartz, and Heidi Klum in her own design.

SEEN AT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK:

Sasha Primak, who crafted the diamond gems for It-Girl designer Erin Fetherston's Spring runway collection in New York City, told StyleSpy: "It is a pleasure to see women changing their jewelery statement to earrings.  This trend reflects a woman's confidence as bold diamond earrings emphasize femininity and frame a face beautifully. The revival of diamonds and heirloom-inspired earrings is reminiscent of the Hollywood stars from the glamorous 1940's."

SEEN IN DESIGNER SHOWROOMS COAST TO COAST:

Diamond droplet earrings from Los Angeles-based designer Lizzie Scheck (above).  Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Biel and Ashley Judd are fans of Scheck's delicate yet dazzling designs.

And from Erickson Beamon in New York City, colored Swarovski crystals surround a 24-karat gold vermeil grill (below) -- perfect for the glam bohemian.

Long earrings look great with short hair, long hair, updos -- whatever.

DARE TO DANGLE.
