ear cuffs. We've seen
ear climbers. And now, we're besotted with the bounty of double-sided styles stars such as
Angelina Jolie and
Emma Watson have recently rocked. Why look fab just from the font when you can dazzle in 360 degrees?

Christian Dior's double-pearl studs on the Fall 2013 runway (and subsequently on everyone from
Jennifer Lawrence to
Hanneli Mustaparta), we've noticed several sub-species within the front-and-back–earring genus. There are minimalist double-sided danglers like the pair
Lupita Nyong'o sported this spring. There are charming little ear jackets that, like
Amber Heard's above, combine a stud front with a fanciful, lobe-hugging back.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's clever little arrow earring from jeweler
Anita Ko, which we'd argue is in a class of it's own.
The only rules for pulling off the double-sided look? Pull your hair back, so we can admire your baubles from every angle. Shop our picks, below.
