Gingerbread man earrings Santa hat candy cane red green rhinestones marbled cream stud acrylic

Gingerbread Santa hat earrings, the cookie character that takes over December

These gingerbread man earrings belong to the small group of Christmas earrings that turn a kitchen icon into a wearable drop. The body is in pearl beige acrylic, exactly the colour of a freshly baked gingerbread cookie on the kitchen tray after the school nativity. On the head sits a tilted red glitter Santa hat with a white fur trim and a small white pompom on the tip, the same hat as the Father Christmas in the Coca Cola advert. In one hand the gingerbread man holds a small red and white striped candy cane, the kind found on the Christmas tree. Three round rhinestones run down the chest, a red one at the top, a green one in the middle and a red one at the bottom, like decorating buttons stuck in the dough. White zigzag icing piping runs along the arms and the legs, exactly the kind of icing you draw on Christmas Eve with the children. Two small black dot eyes and a small white smile finish the face. The whole drop hangs from a round marbled cream acrylic stud that picks up the same warm beige as the body.

A pair of Christmas earrings for the full December calendar

The gingerbread man with a Santa hat is one of the smiliest novelty Christmas earrings motifs and a fitting partner to the candy cane drop, the snowman stud and the Christmas tree pair. The cookie silhouette reads instantly as Christmas and the small Santa hat adds the Father Christmas note that takes the look from kitchen baking to full festive. The size sits in the gentle statement zone, comfortable from the school carol service through the office party and right up to Christmas morning by the tree. Pull another piece from our wider Christmas selection for a coordinated festive look.

Styling the gingerbread Santa hat earrings for the parties of the season

The pearl beige body sits softly against a deep red knitted dress for Christmas Eve dinner, with the Santa hat picking up the dress red. With a cream Aran knit and dark jeans for a Christmas market evening at Bath or Hyde Park Winter Wonderland the gingerbread reads as the freshly baked cookie next to the gingerbread house on the stall. For Christmas morning the pair works on a tartan pyjama set or a soft black turtleneck under the tree, with the small red and green rhinestones catching the fairy lights. Pair with a small gold ear cuff or a thin gold chain on the neck rather than another statement piece, to let the gingerbread silhouette stand out.

What separates this gingerbread pair from the bow gingerbread drop

This pair is the gingerbread variant with a Santa hat, distinct from our other gingerbread drop where the cookie wears a small black bow on the head and has pink pearl studs and three red buttons. Where the bow version reads as the warm bakery cookie ready to eat, this Santa hat variant reads as the playful Father Christmas helper in cookie form, with the added candy cane and the green plus red rhinestones bringing the full Christmas palette to the ear.

Materials and care for the acrylic gingerbread Santa hat earrings

Technical specifications

Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Store flat on the card or in a fabric pouch. Keep away from perfume, hair lacquer and water, which dull the glitter Santa hat and the rhinestones over time.
