In case you're wondering how today's shopping story came about, it all started when our editor in chief, Kat Collings, pinged me with a link to these Maria Black earrings from Net-a-Porter, as we usually do when we find something share-worthy, whether to buy or simply admire. Aside from being awesomely affordable, the accessory also gives the illusion of two separate piercings, despite only requiring one. As a single-pierced gal myself, you can imagine how exciting not only this find was, but also the realization that there are countless of these illusion-creating earrings out there. So, here we are, with a roundup of the coolest earrings on the web, that let you fake multiple piercings and get that layered look you always wanted.
