‘Amazing with any outfit’ shoppers gush over £8 John Lewis earrings that are ‘very classy’ and ‘an unbeatable price’
FASHIONISTAS are raving about a pair of earrings from John Lewis that will give you change from a tenner.
The teardrop style has been dubbed “amazing with any outfit” as shoppers gushed over the “unbeatable price”.
The Hammered Teardrop Drop Earrings in a gold finish will set you back just £8 a pair.
Ma Stickesea took to the John Lewis website to rave about the “unbeatable price”, penning that the “lovely earrings look amazing with any clothes”.
“I love them,” Sue Bedo added.
“The shade of gold is perfect, as is the length of the drop.
“They look great with all my outfits.
“I’m very pleased with my purchase.”
Another shopper quipped that the earrings can “be worn both day and night” thanks to their “extremely lightweight” composition.
“With a modern geometric design and hammered finish, these drop earrings offer a statement style to complete your look,” John Lewis bosses said.
“Secured with post fittings, they are for pierced ears only.”
Teardrop-shaped jewellery has been found in various ancient civilizations, including Egyptian, Greek and Roman cultures.
Earrings in the style were typically worn by royalty and elites as symbols of wealth and status.
Similarly in the renaissance period, teardrop earrings became a staple accessory for women of nobility and were worn as formal attire.
Fast forward 700 years, they’re now a style that can be worn by anyone for any occasion.
Modern teardrop earrings may feature a variety of materials, including precious metals, gemstones, crystals and pearls.
John Lewis’ £8 pair are made from zinc and iron with a gold-toned finish.
What’s happening with John Lewis right now?
The 159-year-old retail group warned about potential job cuts in March last year as part of a plan to reduce costs and use technology to improve efficiency.
The group has already cut thousands of positions partly through store closures in recent years, including 16 department stores and several supermarkets.
It has been struggling in amid tough competition and the costs of developing its online offering.
The scale of potential job cuts emerged after the John Lewis Partnership (JLP), which is owned by its staff via a trust, wrote to workers in January telling them it was cutting the terms of its redundancy package in half.
Staff were offered one week of pay a year of service instead of two for anyone being made redundant from February 1.
The announcement came shortly after several senior executives had left on the more generous deal.
