Written by on April 13, 2010 · Leave a Comment

The best place to get a good deal on silver earrings is on the web where you will find thousands of earrings of all shapes and descriptions on sale. Most sites have very clear pictures so that you can see exactly what you are buying although it can be difficult to envisage how the earrings will look hanging in your ears.

Having said that you will often find some pictures of models wearing the earrings which will give you a good idea how they will look on you (on a good day :) ) You don’t get pictures like these in a jewelry store. You have all the advantages of buying online and there is really no benefit to buying locally (other than being able to take your earrings away there and then). Even in a jewelers you cannot try on pierced earrings to see how you like them. Hygiene rules prohibit it.

So what are the benefits of buying silver earrings online?

Discount Silver Earrings

Written by on April 13, 2010 · Leave a Comment

If you buy silver earrings in a department store or jewelry chain then you will generally pay top prices. Even during sale time, sterling silver jewelry is not always discounted by much, if anything. The big discount warehouses will also not be your best port of call because they tend to focus on higher end items like luxury watches, gold chains and diamond rings.

The best place to find silver earrings at a discount is to go online. For example, you can visit sites such as Amazon where good deals are often found. Simply do a search for silver earrings and you are bound to find something which appeals whether it is for yourself or for a gift. If you buy at Amazon you know you are dealing with a big company with a reputation to maintain so buying online is very straightforward.

You can also find good discounts on auction sites like eBay but, with eBay, do a little research on the seller to make sure that they have good feedback before you part with any cash and pay through Paypal as this gives you some security too.

There are other small sites too where you can find silver earrings for less than you would pay in a store so don’t discount sites you are unfamiliar with. Most are delighted to get your custom and you will find a beautifully packaged pair of earrings delivered to your home shortly after ordering often with free shipping too.

If you are buying online, you will generally see a close-up view of the items. With earrings it is important to note the size and whether that includes the wires or fittings so that you can judge how the earrings might look in actual size against your ears. To imagine the size and how the earrings would look you could hold a thin strip of paper the same size as the earrings against your ear if you do not have another pair of earrings to do a comparison with.

When comparing costs between one set of earrings and another take into account that a chunkier pair will use a lot more silver than those with fine silver strands so be sure to compare like with like. Having said that, if you like the earrings equally well, you can just as well compare the price. Remember to take into consideration whether shipping costs are included as well as insurance for your parcel however when you do your calculations.

Online jewelry sites tend not to have discount coupons generally available but if you sign up for their newsletters or buy from them once you may be sent details of special deals. In any case, you are already benefiting from keen prices by going to these big online stores where you will find many types of earrings (metaphorically) under one roof.

Gold or Sterling Silver Earrings?

Written by on November 18, 2009 · Leave a Comment

If you are wondering about whether to buy gold or sterling silver earrings here are the things to think about:-

1. Your Budget

Gold is many times more expensive than sterling silver and as a result you often find much smaller designs in gold earrings (as they take less of the precious metal) than you do in silver. Sterling silver is not actually pure silver as silver in its purest form is too soft for normal wear and tear. This means that you will find almost all silver jewelry being made using sterling silver. Sterling silver is a mix of 92.5 per cent silver and 7.5 per cent copper. Though still a precious metal you will probably find sterling silver well within your budget and plenty of opportunities to expand your silver earring collection.

2. Classic or Up-to-the-Minute Fashion Conscious

You will find that designers are happier to be more experimental with a less expensive material so there are many up to date and avant garde designs in silver and fewer in gold (unless you have an exceedingly high budget). If you are looking for classic designs you will find that you will easily find them in either gold or silver. Gold stud earrings and classic hoops are just as easy to find as silver stud earrings and silver hoop earrings.

3. Your Coloring

Gold tends to go better on those with red and blond hair whereas silver looks stunning on those with dark hair although it very much depends on your skin tone too. When you have a color consultation there are definitely gold people and silver people in any case. If you suit orangey, brown and green colors best then gold is likely to be a better match for you. if you suit clear cool colors then silver is for you. Most people can get away with both however.

If you’re not sure which color tone you suit try looking at yourself in a mirror in natural daylight draped in an orange cloth and then a bight pink cloth in quick succession. You will see that either the warmer shades of the orange or the clearer pink brighten your whole face. If the orange works best gold earrings are for you but if it’s pink then go for silver earrings instead.

If you prefer silver but you suit fall type colors best try combining your silver with colored stones such as amber to get the best of both worlds.
