Need help with picking earrings to match this bracelet...

A mission for you ladies!

I bought this bracelet on an impulse for my bridesmaids. It's absolutely beautiful in person....got it at Fortunoff. Hard to tell in the pic, but it's actually strand after strand of silver, and the things inbetween are marcasite. A very antique yet modern thing goin' on!

Now, this alone was a decent amount of money, and I really didn't want to spend much more, but I think I'd like to get them earings also. What kind would you get to match this, or at least compliment it?

All advice much appreciated.

I suggest markasite stud earrings, keeping them small. I think it would be easier to find them then the strand and markasite together

i agree with marcasite earrings. they do have hanging ones that are small and barely hang from the ear lope. check macy's. and wait for one day sale with coupons. They recently had 50% off marcasite silver jewelry. And I saw some beautiful earrings there that could go well with that bracelet. sO EITHER STUD OR SMALL HANING ONES
GOOD LUCK

Do you guys think a little crystal stud earring would be bad with this?

And you all rule.

How about this? I'm just concerned it will be a mishmash of different stuff....although I am probably overthinking this.

These are from Swarovski...

How much are you looking to spend? There are some really pretty love knot earrings on fortunoff.com, but they're about $35
Edited to add:
Did you try ebay?

Misty, I wouldn't go with swarowski.

Assuming the silver in your marcasite braselet is a little darker, the swarowski would clash, b/c usually their silver is lighter in color... But I may be wrong.

Buy the earrings in person, and bring the bracelets to make sure that the shades aren't totally off.

I would definitely go with marcasite earrings. Lord & Taylor usually has nice ones and they are often on sale. I recently bought a pair of marcasite earrings there that were orig. $40, but after 50% off I only paid $20
