Stop Going to the Salon: Try Artificial Baroque Beaded Earrings Instead

Real Talk

I bought the Artificial Baroque Beaded Earrings because I wanted something bold and a bit cheeky for nights out. I’m not a delicate-jewellery kind of gal. These are loud in the best way.

First thing — they’re Handmade in Australia. Huge plus. That little fact gives me way more confidence than a mass-produced pair. The beads feel solid. The baroque shapes are uneven on purpose. That’s the look. They hang nicely. Not too heavy for my lobes. I reckon they look way better in real life than on the product photos.

Compared to store-bought or salon accessories? These beat the cheap stuff you grab in a chain shop. They have more personality and less wobble. Not quite couture, but they give off that boutique, hand-finished vibe. If you’re used to salon-quality costume jewellery, these sit comfortably next to it.

I wore them to a rooftop bar. Got compliments. A stranger asked where they were from. Win.

What I Loved

• Statement look without feeling tacky.
• Handmade in Australia — that craft detail shows.
• Comfortable for several hours. No sore lobes.
• Pair well with a simple black dress or a messy bun.
• Great for gifting. They come wrapped nicely.

What Sucked (Real Pros & Cons)

• Pro: Looks high-end for the price.
• Pro: Lasts months with normal wear and care.
• Pro: Handmade in Australia — local love.
• Con: Needs careful removal. Don’t yank them off.
• Con: Can catch in long hair if you’re wild on the dance floor.
• Con: Not indestructible — beads might loosen after heavy use.

I’m picky about fit. These fit well. My hands felt the weight before my ears did — in a good way. If you’ve got sensitive skin, I’d patch-test for a day. If you’re rough with jewellery, maybe keep them for special nights rather than daily wear.

FAQ

How long does it last?
With regular wear and basic care (no sleeping or showering in them, store in a soft pouch), I’d expect months to years. Treat them gently and they’ll keep looking sharp. Expect some wear if you use them every day.

Is it waterproof?
Nope. Not fully waterproof. Avoid swimming, showering, or heavy sweating. Water and perfumes will dull the finish and can loosen the beads over time.
