I tried the retro-chic Heaven Mayhem earrings that we've spotted on all the internet cool girls

The Mini Knot is one of Heaven Mayhem's signature styles — it consistently sells out, and was the first pair I ever bought from the collection. It also happen to be one of Hailey Bieber's go-tos— and trying them on only reinforced the obvious: Mrs. Bieber has good taste. 

I'll admit I was a little concerned about the weight of these earrings after seeing how large they were. To my relief, they're surprisingly lightweight due to the hollow construction. Not only are these available in silver and gold, but they also come in a fun mixed metal version as well — which is great if you like to combine silver and gold jewelry. 

Note: If you're looking for something a little bigger and bolder, Heaven Mayhem's Double Knot earrings are an enlarged but identical version of the Mini Knot.

I've never been a watch girl — many of them look too clunky and feel too cumbersome on my wrist. But I like the idea of wearing one. There's a certain nostalgic charm about being able to check the time without having to stay glued to your iPhone. 

So, imagine my excitement when I discovered that Heaven Mayhem just launched its first watch collection on July 18.

The Icon Watch comes with the black, alligator-style "Kelly" strap. If you want the option of swapping out the strap to match your outfit, you can purchase the other colors — including the emerald green alligator-style Diana, brown pebbled leather "Bruni," and brown alligator-style "Monroe" — separately. All the straps are made of water-resistant genuine leather, and the timepiece itself is constructed of gold-plated stainless steel with Heaven Mayhem's signature handwritten engraving on the back.

I love how lightweight the Icon Watch feels, and the leather is soft and pliable enough that it doesn't dig into my skin. It's sleek and simple enough to wear alongside other bracelets, and it goes with literally everything. To be honest, after wearing it around all day, I kind of forgot it was there — except, of course, when someone asked me the time and I smugly glanced at the watch face.

The Tabi is one of Heaven Mayhem's bestsellers, and it's easy to see why. These oversized studs (they measure 1 inch by 1 inch) make quite a striking statement, regardless of what you're wearing them with. Personally, I like to let them shine by pairing them with understated ensembles like a v-neck tee and straight-leg jeans. Actress Rosie Huntington-Whitely paired them with a white tank, white leather pants, and gold cuff bracelets. You can't go wrong here.

There's so much to love about the Tabi — namely the the rounded square shape and unique design etched into the 18k gold-plated brass. This style looks a bit like something I would have "borrowed" from my oh-so-chic grandmother's collection (and begged to keep). When I wore the Tabi out to dinner on my honeymoon in Jamaica I got a zillion compliments.

Also praiseworthy? The fact that when I accidentally packed these in a satchel with other earrings, they didn't get scratched whatsoever.

"I have a few Heaven Mayhem earrings and have become fully obsessed with the brand. The pieces strike the exact note of vintage elegance that I'm constantly searching for. Despite the chunky look, none of their earrings are overly heavy. But some, like the Tri Gold earrings, err on the side of weighty compared to my everyday earrings. 

"These, though, are lightweight enough that I can forget that I'm wearing them, despite them being quite the statement piece. They look like the vintage costume jewelry that I always want to buy but never get because they tend to be clip-on earrings (pierced ears didn't become as ubiquitous until the '80s). 

"But these are everything that I want: vintage-looking, lightweight, and nickel-free for my sensitive ears." — Samantha Crozier, style editor, Insider Reviews.

Who says stud earrings have to be boring? You'll be hard-pressed to find another pair like this one, with its dramatic and architectural-inspired X shape on this architectural-inspired pair. I wasn't sure how these would look on my ears, particularly since one of my earring holes has stretched out a bit over time, but they actually hung quite nicely.

I can't wait to wear these with blazers and fuzzy sweaters in the fall, but at the moment I'm reaching for them on date nights when I want to add a bit of effortless drama to an LBD.

Fun fact: In many cultures, the X shape symbolizes transformation, or the end of one cycle and the start of another.

While all of the pieces in Heaven Mayhem's collection have some throwback appeal, this pair has a particularly retro vibe due to the center stone and oval-shaped frame. I have the black pair because they're super versatile, but if you're looking to add a bit of color to your look, note that the Prize also comes with red and turquoise stones. 

These didn't hang totally straight on my ears — they angle a bit backward likely because of my piercing holes being stretched out — but I didn't really mind that.

Why wear one hoop when you can wear four? The Aria has become my favorite pair of earrings — not only in the Heaven Mayhem line but in my whole jewelry collection. These eye-catching sculptural earrings are surprisingly light as a feather (again, because they're hollow), and give oomph to even the simplest outfit. Did I mention that the way the light reflects off of them is truly magical?

Pair them with a tank bodysuit and midi denim skirt, or an off-the-shoulder cocktail dress. Just know that whatever ensemble you're sporting these earrings are always the main event.

When I'm running late and need to accessorize in a pinch (which is 75% of the time), I always don my trusty hoops. Not only do the Haze Hoops strike that Goldilocks compromise — not too big and not too small — but the textural engraving gives them some visual interest, too. Larger than huggies but still small enough to strike an elegant note, these really are the perfect everyday earrings — but they're anything but basic, thanks to the unique ribbed design.

I have pretty sensitive ears, and even after wearing these multiple days in a row I've never had any  issues.
