Silver Earrings : 7 Ways to Upgrade your Wardrobe

Written by on July 17, 2010 · Leave a Comment

As silver earrings work well on all skin tones, you can be sure that if you choose the right style of earrings they will give your appearance a boost. Wearing jewelry every day can help you feel more confident and ladylike every moment of the day. Everyone wants to look as though they put some thought and effort into their looks and even if you are just running errands or going to the office, sparkling feminine touches offered by earrings in precious silver can help you appear polished. Wearing jewelry helps to complete a variety of different stylish looks. Here are some tips for using silver jewelry in your personal wardrobe.

1. Reflect Your own Style

Wear jewelry that reflects your personal style. This could be classy, modern, or eclectic. Shopping for new earrings only takes a few minutes. There may be certain styles that you feel naturally drawn to. Think about specific styles of jewelry that you have received a lot of compliments while wearing them and build on that.

2. Ring the Changes

Although you might invest in one or two signature pieces, don’t wear the same earrings every day. It is easy to get stuck in a jewelry rut, where the same two or three pairs of earrings are worn all week. Purchase a few pairs so that they can be rotated throughout the week.

3. Accentuate the Positive

Silver dangling earrings are great for extending the natural line of the neck. Bold silver studs work well to draw attention to your face. Dressing up the ears is a conservative way lets your personality shine but you can also reflect a zany personality with your choice of silver earrings. If you are ready for something bold, try the beautiful designer earrings in sterling silver , pictured on the left which are 2.75 inches long and will add a particularly eye-catching touch to your look.

4. Use Silver Elsewhere

Pair beautiful silver earrings with matching necklaces and bracelets without going too much over the top. You don’t want to look like a jewelry shop dummy. Also look for bold belts with silver accents to wear with your earrings. Reach for clutches and handbags that have silver hardware.

5. Mix Old With New

Mix new pairs of earrings with older pieces in your jewelry box. Look for necklaces that have both silver and gold in them. This helps to blend multiple styles of jewelry so they can be worn together. Try on a few outfits with the new jewelry combinations. Instead of buying new clothes, change up the look of your accessories.

6. Buy Quality

If you have been drawn towards buying lots of cheap silver earrings, upgrade your look and save up for some more expensive pieces These might be chunkier styles which contain more silver, making them more expensive or they might be more delicate earrings where you are paying for an exclusive design.

7. Look for Unusual Earrings

Try and buy silver earrings which are a little bit different from the run of the mill type you see every day. Shop around online to see many different types of earrings and if you ever get the chance to spend a vacation abroad, take the chance to find some earrings that are a bit different from those that everyone in your local area is wearing.

Where to Buy Silver Earrings

Written by on November 18, 2009 · Leave a Comment

There are several places where you can get silver earrings and you should not have too much trouble finding exactly what you are looking for – or coming across something you absolutely love if you are just browsing. Jewelry designers have become more and more adventurous in recent years and there are some beautiful designs waiting to be discovered.

1. Jewelry Store Chains

There are tons of jewelry shops selling earrings but strangely I have found the least amount of choice in these stores. If you are looking for gold earrings, an expensive watch or diamond ring you will be spoiled for choice but you may just be offered a tray or two of sterling silver earrings and they are often tucked out of sight at the back of the displays. Obviously there is not so much profit in them!

2. Designer Jewelry Stores

If you are lucky enough to have a store in your area which features the designs from a jewelry designer or two you are likely to find many beautiful silver earring designs there as many designers like to work in silver.

3. Gift Stores and Craft Fairs

These often feature the work of different designers and as silver earrings are a small purchase and a great gift you can often find some beautiful earrings in these kinds of outlets. If you live in a tourist area you will find plenty of these stores in the vicinity. If not check out the craft and gift stores of the next place you visit on a day out or vacation. See our article on buying silver earrings abroad for more on that.

4. Online Stores

There are some fantastic opportunities to buy silver earrings online – many stores and designers who you would not be able to otherwise buy from have all their designs on display. And silver is easy to send by mail – just ensure that your parcel will be insured to make sure it arrives safely. Try Amazon for a good selection which includes many wonderful earrings with colored stones as well as plain silver in wonderful shapes.

5. Ebay

You will be amazed at the selection you will find on ebay.com or ebay.co.uk. A search for silver earrings brought up over 10,000 results last I checked on ether site and you will have more difficulty knowing where to start whittling down your choice than you will finding earrings.

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.
