Bow earrings are having a serious moment — and unlike some trends that arrive fast and leave faster, this one has legs. From delicate gold bows on the runway to oversized crystal statements on red carpets, the bow has become one of the most versatile silhouettes in jewellery right now. And OAK + EVE has been quietly building one of the best bow collections in Canada.
Here's how to style them, which one to reach for, and why the bow isn't going anywhere.
Why Bow Jewellery is Everywhere Right Now
The bow taps into a larger shift in fashion — back toward femininity, ornamentation, and pieces that feel considered rather than minimal. After years of very clean, very quiet jewellery dominating, there's a collective appetite for something with a little more to say. Bows say it without being aggressive about it. They're feminine without being precious, statement without being loud.
They also photograph exceptionally well, which hasn't hurt their rise on social media.
The OAK + EVE Bow Collection
The Nina Bow Earrings — The Everyday Gold
The Nina is our most wearable bow — a refined 14K gold filled bow stud that sits elegantly at the lobe without demanding attention. This is the bow you wear to work, to brunch, to every occasion that calls for "put-together without trying too hard." Shop the Nina →
The Katie Bow Earrings — The Silver Minimalist
The Nina's silver counterpart. The Katie has the same elegant silhouette in sterling silver — slightly sleeker, cooler in tone, and perfect for stacking with silver chains or wearing against a more casual outfit. Shop the Katie →
The Sasha Bow Earrings — The Statement Crystal
The Sasha is for the occasions that deserve more. A larger, crystal-set bow with genuine glamour — think evening events, weddings, holiday parties, or any night you want to be remembered. Pairs with the Sasha Bow Necklace for a full look. Shop the Sasha Earrings →
The Brianna Bow Earrings — The Bridal Bow
A graceful freshwater pearl drop suspended from a gold bow — romantic, timeless, and designed with brides in mind. The Brianna walks the line between vintage and modern in a way that very few pieces manage. Shop the Brianna →
The Sasha Bow Necklace — The Full Look
The necklace counterpart to the Sasha earrings. A crystal bow pendant on a fine gold chain — wear it alone as a statement or pair it with the Sasha earrings for a cohesive evening look. Shop the Sasha Necklace →
The Rayna Bow Necklace — The Pearl Version
A freshwater pearl bow pendant — softer and more romantic than the crystal Sasha, and perfect for bridal or any occasion where you want something beautiful without being flashy. Shop the Rayna →
How to Style Bow Earrings
For everyday wear: Reach for the Nina or Katie with a clean white shirt, minimal necklace stack, and a simple bracelet. The bow does enough — keep the rest quiet.
For a bridal or formal look: The Brianna bow earrings with an updo is one of the most timeless jewellery combinations in bridal styling. The bow frames the face and shows beautifully when hair is up.
For an evening out: The Sasha bow earrings with a blazer or a simple slip dress. No other jewellery needed — they carry the whole look.
For stacking: Bow studs layer beautifully with other ear pieces. Try the Nina or Katie in the lobe with a simple huggie or ear cuff higher on the ear for a curated ear stack.
