I made a cute LessWrong themed necklace/earring set for cheap, here's how.
For the necklace, buy a pair of these earrings from Shein:

CAN: https://ca.shein.com/1pair-Fashionable-Rhinestone-Star-Decor-Drop-Earrings-For-Women-For-Daily-Decoration-p-15276285.html.
Then remove the dangly charm and use a wire to attach it to a necklace chain.
(I bought a cheap necklace from Shein to use as the chain but it tarnished within days. Amazon seems to sell decent chains/necklaces for ~20$, but I haven't bought any so can't personally recommend them (I used an old chain from my grandmother instead). If you're buying a necklace make sure any pre-existing charms can be removed.
You can either get two pairs of the above earrings to make a set, or get these ones if you prefer studs:

Here they all are together:
Note the stud is quite small. Here is what it looks like on my ear, in comparison with the hoop earrings:
