Diana Caldarescu is a talented technical designer and fashion illustrator who specializes in chandelier-shaped earrings that actually light up.
Having miniature chandeliers hanging from your earlobes may sound kitsch, but if that’s the style you’re going for, you may as well go big with the amazing light-up chandelier earrings of Diana Caldarescu. The young New York-based artist creates these metal wonders out of brass, sterling silver, 14-karat gold, and glass crystals and adds a bit of magic in the form of LED-tipped candles that actually turn on thanks to power provided by a small battery pack hidden behind the wearer’s ear.

It’s unclear how long the tiny CR1632 battery can keep the lights on, but it’s definitely enough for you to make an impression. And the good news is that the battery is replaceable, so you can just pop a new one in and keep the attention on yourself.

Growing up in Los Angeles, Diana often dressed vintage-style when going to see old movies at various theaters around the city, and it was these experiences that inspired her to create her amazing chandelier earrings.

Her unique style of earrings are currently priced at $128 or $158 per pair, but most models are sold out, which is unsurprising, considering how cool they look. She offers a 1-year warranty, but she will happily make sure that your light-up earrings are in working order even after that period “at an economical price”.
