Layered Tassel Christmas Tree Earrings

Three tiers of soft thread fringe stack into a little conifer shape, topped with a crystal-set star on a slim gold-tone hook. The tassels are cut clean and hang loosely, so they swing and sway rather than sitting stiff. They weigh almost nothing on the lobe, which matters when the party runs long. Wear them with a plain knit and let the fringe do the talking, or match them to a red lip for the full festive commitment.

• Material: Thread tassels on an alloy fitting
