17 need-them-now earrings under ₹3,000 to satiate the accessory junkie
Did someone say spiders?
Some people win the genetic lottery at birth with assets that make them targets of awe and envy. A head of thick, shiny hair, immune to monsoon hair fall (while the rest of us need these tips). A singing voice that won every school competition in the state. The ability to demolish heaps of aloo tikki and chole bhature without the weighing scale ever finding out. Others have to find ‘their thing’, a signature flourish that has instant recall value. For one of our Tweak team members, it’s her ever-expanding collection of quirky earrings.
From miniature Kurkure danglers to embellished baingans, her accessories are conversation starters in every room and Zoom. In college, she became ‘the girl with the earrings’ and, even now, takes pride in expanding her repertoire.
Quirky earrings are the minimum effort, maximum impact champions of the fashion industry. They can lift even a basic tank top and jeans to street style status. The best part? You never have to worry about whether they’ll fit right, which makes online shopping less stressful.
Earn your stripes with our selection of 17 quirky earrings under ₹3,000. But you’ll have to bring your own Kurkure.
