Felicity Smoak Earrings: How to Get Her Geek-Chic Style

Felicity Smoak earrings were a quiet star of Arrow. While Oliver Queen had the hood and the bow, Felicity — played by Emily Bett Rickards — brought the color: bright dresses, statement glasses and a rotating collection of fun, often geometric earrings. Fans have spent years tracking down exactly which pieces she wore.

Here's what defines her jewelry style, where fans say some of it came from, and how to get the same geek-chic look today.

What makes Felicity Smoak earrings recognizable

Felicity's earrings rarely look "serious." They tend to fall into a few categories:

• Geometric drops: triangles, cages and open shapes in silver or gold.
• Playful charms: feathers, raindrops and small sculptural pieces.
• Color pops: stones or enamel picked to match a bright dress.
• Small studs: for darker, more serious episodes or when the outfit was already busy.

The common thread is personality. Her jewelry made her look approachable, a little quirky and completely herself — exactly the character.

Where did her earrings come from?

Costume-tracking fan sites have identified many of the pieces she wore. A large share are credited to Peggy Li, an independent jewelry designer known for minimalist, sculptural earrings, with other episodes featuring pieces from mainstream brands like Kendra Scott and Anthropologie.

Because costume departments often use one-offs and vintage pieces, not every earring has been identified, and older styles may no longer be available. Treat any "exact match" listing with a little caution, and look for similar shapes instead.

Independent designers and small makers are a good place to search. Many sell open geometric drops and sculptural pieces in the same spirit, often in sterling silver or gold-filled wire that's comfortable for sensitive ears. Searching for terms like "geometric cage earrings," "triangle drop earrings" or "sculptural silver earrings" will get you close.

Styling tips: geek-chic, not costume

1. Let glasses frame the face. Pick earrings that echo the frame color or shape.
2. Match one color. Pull a shade from your top or dress into your earrings.
3. Keep the rest light. With a statement drop, skip the big necklace.
4. Go lightweight. Open geometric shapes look big but weigh little, so they're comfortable all day.

Building a Felicity-inspired earring wardrobe

Her rotation worked because it covered different moods. To build your own, aim for a small, flexible collection rather than a pile of one-offs:

• One pair of silver geometric drops for work and everyday wear.
• One pair of gold sculptural earrings for warmer-toned outfits.
• One or two pairs of colored studs or drops in shades you wear often.
• A pair of tiny plain studs for busy outfits or long days.

That's enough to mix and match all week, and it keeps the playful, put-together feel that made her style so loved by fans.

Earrings and glasses: a quick guide

Felicity's glasses were as much a part of her look as her earrings, and the two worked together. If you wear glasses, a few simple rules help:

• Mind the arms. Large hoops can tangle with temple arms; drops that hang straight down are easier.
• Echo the shape. Angular frames pair well with triangles and cages; round frames with circles and drops.
• Balance the weight. Thick, bold frames can handle bigger earrings; thin wire frames suit lighter pieces.

Want more than one piercing?

If you love Felicity's style but want to put your own spin on it, a second lobe piercing lets you pair a fun drop with a tiny stud — a modern take on her look. Our guide to double lobe piercing earrings covers placement and jewelry ideas.
