How To Buy Earrings
Few fashion accessories make as much of an
impact as earrings. One of the earliest forms of jewelry,
earrings were first designed by ancient cultures. Impressive
examples of gold hoops and other more elaborate earring styles
were found in the Egyptian king Tutankhamun's gold encrusted
tomb. To this day, earrings remain in the forefront of fashion.

Diamond Or Pearl Stud
|
Quietly elegant, these fashion basics
can be worn with other jewelry--a strand of pearls,
diamond solitaire necklace, even a gold chain--or on
their own. If you lean toward the classic, look for
round diamond studs of a quarter carat or more. Updated
shape and style variations include square princess cut
diamonds, pearl studs with diamond accents or delicate
diamond flowers and stars. |
Hoops
|
Depending on hoop size and style, you
can look sexy--think: Jennifer Lopez--or sophisticated
and stylish. Either way, today's hoops are definitely
more glam than ever and include bold gemstone accents,
such as narrow gold wires dotted with diamonds or white
gold with diamond heart-shaped flat hoops that contour
the ear. Also, check out the new crop of reversible
hug-style designs, which change from yellow to white
gold or platinum. Sometimes adorned with jewels or
embellished with rich texture, huggies, like all hoops,
dress up or down. |
Dangles
|
Dainty drops add a subtle romantic
accent to any outfit. Petite Euro-wires bedecked with
diamonds graze the tip of the ear lobe with their
antique look and feel while longer, more dramatic
styles--a multi-strand drop that dangles in front and
behind the ear-- are made for dressier occasions. |
Colored Gemstones
|
Colored gemstone earrings add a
vibrant burst of color to a woman's jewelry wardrobe.
Check out gemstone favorites, including blue topaz, pink
or green tourmaline, citrine and amethyst which offer
radiant color without a hefty price tag. When purchasing
gemstone jewelry, it's wise to consider your favorite
color, opting for hues that flatter your complexion and
eyes. |
