Diamonds, emeralds, and gem-studded brooches sparkled on celebs on last night’s Met Gala red carpet. While many of those glistening accessories are custom (or cost you an arm and a leg), Karlie Kloss accessorized her custom Swarovski gown with the brand’s $129 Millenia Drop Earrings that our editors rate as a top Mother’s Day gift for 2024.

Swarovski’s Millenia Drop Earrings feature rose gold hardware and octagon-cut pink crystals that accentuated the sparklers on Kloss’ custom gown, which was created with over 180,000 rose crystals assembled by a team of seven artisans. Her gown took over 225 hours to assemble, but the Millenia Drop Earrings can be yours with a quick order over at Swarovski.com.

We love the maximalist approach Kloss took to her jewelry at the Met Gala, teaming the drop earrings with a coordinating necklace and Swarovski studs on each ear. Her femme earrings looked right at home on the red carpet, but they’re just as fit for date night or Mother’s Day brunch.

Our editors recently tested out these Swarovski earrings, and the verdict is in: These high-value earrings have limitless styling possibilities. “These octagon-shaped crystal drop earrings are total eye candy that look even better in person,” says WWD Shop editor Adam Mansuroglu. “Beyond the excellent craftsmanship you expect from Swarovski, this pair of simply stunning earrings have the versatility for both formal and casual outings; dress up a simple white tee and jeans or add a refined finishing touch to your floral cocktail dress. For less than $200, these gems are a no-brainer purchase when calculating its cost-per-wear value. Consider this little luxury a worthy investment for effortlessly chic style this season.”
