Earrings are one type of jewelry that comes with a lot of variety. They are easy to pair, suit everyone, and can add harmony and sparkle to any look. Whether you’re looking for a gift for your partner, daughter, or mother, earrings are a safe bet that never disappoints. But when you choose a pair of earrings, it’s worth focusing on a few details that we’ll reveal in this article.
The types of earrings available in the KLENOTA range
Every woman has her own style that suits a certain type of earring. Understanding them will help you find the most suitable pair.
Hoops–a classic that never loses its charm. They range from small, dainty huggies to larger hoops. They look elegant and add a modern flair to any outfit.
Studs–the most versatile type of earring that’s great for everyday wear. They can be decorated with diamonds, pearls, or color stones. Though they are small, they have a certain type of charm to them.
Drop earrings–an elegant choice for evening dresses or suits. The longer lines visually elongate the neck and add feminine softness to the overall look.
Chain earrings–a modern and minimal choice. They are understated, yet still a wonderful detail that will accentuate a simple look in an original way.
Single earrings and ear cuffs–for those who aren't afraid to experiment. These earrings and cuffs bring a playful, contemporary approach to jewelry and can make any style unique.
Children's earrings–earrings for the little ones are in their own special category. They are dainty, come with a secure clasp and because they are made of 14k gold, they are suitable for sensitive ears. Take a look too at our special collection of earrings for babies.
How to choose earrings based on face shape
The shape of the face also plays a very important role in the choice. Well-chosen earrings can balance out proportions and emphasize or slightly modify natural facial features.
-
An oval face–almost all types of earrings will flatter this face shape.
-
A round face–longer drop or geometric earrings will visually slim the face.
-
A square face–soft curves, round shapes, or pearls will soften stronger lines.
-
A heart-shaped face–earrings that widen towards the bottom, such as pear earrings, work well.
-
An elongated face–shorter, rounder designs or studs will stand out better.
Earrings based on the occasion or style
Just like with clothing, we also choose earrings based on the type of occasions they will be worn at:
-
For everyday wear: small studs, dainty hoops or drop earrings with pearls work best. They are understated and go well with any outfit.
-
For work: earrings with an understated elegance in the form of pearls, small gemstones, or geometric shapes. They also work well with a more formal style.
-
For the evening: striking drop earrings, diamond earrings, or jewelry with color gemstones–sapphires, emeralds, or rubies.
Earring material and fastening
When choosing a gift, it pays to invest in quality. Gold, and specifically 14k gold is an excellent choice–it stands out for its durability and captivating shine. And the color of the gold can be customized to suit personal tastes.
-
White gold has a modern look to it and stands out on fair skin.
-
Yellow gold emphasizes warm skin tones.
-
Rose gold has a soft, romantic feel to it and goes beautifully with neutral colors.
The clasp or fastening on the earrings plays an important role in how comfortable they are to wear. You can learn more about all types of clasps in our blog article.
