Silver Earrings to Match Your Style

The thing about style is that it is not one size fits all. With silver earrings or with anything else you wear, what is stylish on one person looks totally incongruent on another. Your personality needs to be reflected in whatever you wear, wherever you wear it. While you will probably adapt your clothes and jewelry to match the occasion (unless your personality is off the wall and zany), you should not mold your image to fit into something you are not. Something of you should always shine through.

When you look at the various styles of silver earrings around you will already see that certain designs suit certain personalities. Dainty silver studs, silver daisy earrings and other floral designs suit a quieter personality than bold giant silver hoop earrings or chandelier style silver dangle earrings.

If you have a flirty personality and like to make the most of your femininity, don’t hide it by choosing sliver stud earrings and keeping them hidden away behind your hair. Use dangling earrings which show off the line of your neck and are revealed when you toss your hair or throw your head back in laughter. Whatever you do, don’t go without any earrings at all as you are missing a trick. Earrings draw attention to your face in general and particularly your eyes and mouth – very important to a confirmed flirt.

If you are a bit of a rebel at heart and like the bohemian look, you will also find plenty of silver earrings to suit your look especially those threaded with tiny colored beads made of glass or precious stones or shell. Choose a glorious mixture of different colors for the most bohemian of looks. And if you like the ethnic look in clothes you will find ethnic style silver earrings to suit your wardrobe.

To tone down your choices for the office, (unless you already favored classic silver stud earrings) go smaller rather than change your style altogether – so neater, more refined silver hoop earrings, drop earrings rather than long dangling ones, and colored studs instead of dangling collections of colored beads.

To make your look more romantic or softer, choose a style of silver earrings with softer more rounded edges and more muted colors and even a bit of sparkle if it is for an evening date.

If you’re not sure which earrings suit your personality, there’s no need to worry. You will probably gravitate to the ones you like and they are often the ones that suit you best. The main thing is not to admire earrings on someone else and expect them to have the same effect on you. In that case, you are admiring the whole look of the person, not just the earrings.

The Best Silver Dangle Earrings

Silver dangle earrings look beautiful as they hang so gracefully and emphasize the length of your neck. I always link them with growing up as we were not allowed to wear dangle earrings to school as kids and of course I could not wait to leave and wear them (among other things that weren’t allowed!) When you choose a pair of dangle earrings, it’s hard to go wrong but these are the kinds of things to think about when choosing between different pairs of silver earrings:-

1. Proportion

If you are quite short (or have a shortish neck) then overly long dangling earrings will not do you an favors as they will be out of proportion to your size. Go for a shortish length of no more than 3 or 4 cm or one to one and a half inches if that is the case or choose shorter drop earrings. If you are tall and have a long neck you can emphasize you height and neck length as much as you like with longer length elegant earrings.

2. Style

Sterling silver dangle earrings are generally less formal than stud earrings and can look a little flirty. The more dangle and the more “bits” (added strands or stones etc) the more flirty they are! If you want to be slightly more formal choose a simple shape with not so much going on, but if you want to reveal your gypsy boho streak then add as many stones and strands as you like. With some asymmetric hairstyles you may want to wear one silver dangle earring in one ear and a matching stud in the other ear but I have yet to see unmatched pairs of earrings – you will probably have to buy two pairs to do this.

3. Color

You can buy plain silver dangling earrings and also earrings which are a beautiful color due to enamel work o the dditon of colored semi-precious stones. It is good to have both types in your earring “wardrobe” – those with go with all your clothes and earrings which enhance particular outfits. There s something very finished about a look which is tied together by the color of your earrings and other jewelry.

4. Fastening

You can buy silver dangle earrings for pierced and non-pierced ears. You will find a lot more choice if your ears are pierced but look out for clip-ons if they are not. You will find that you won’t get such a dangle effect with a clip-on earring so it is well worth thinking about having your ears pierced if you love these. There are earrings for pierced ears which fasten with a post through the ear and then a butterfly clip at he back and also those which are on wires which thread through your ear. Both work equally well but you might find that you prefer one over the other when you have tried them.
