More interesting facts and information about diamond earrings.....
Earrings have an interesting history as they were originally worn to guard the ears from negativity and disease, and during periods in history they were not regarded as a jewellery item at all, but only worn by slaves with different types of earrings being used to illustrate their status. The impressive gold hoops and other more elaborate styles found in the Egyptian King Tutankhamen’s jewel encrusted tomb make them one of the earliest forms of jewellery.
Nowadays they are one the most important fashion accessories for women. Because earrings are worn so close to the face, they can light up a woman’s complexion, draw attention to her best features, bring out the colour in her eyes or complement her hair tone and style. With the endless styles and settings available, they are the ideal way to pull together a special look.
Everyone today can find a design which is to their taste and suits their pocket, but there are several core styles which can transport a woman easily from casual day wear to formal evening attire. For example, the classic round diamond studs will match every outfit. Or the square cut princess diamonds or delicate flowers are probably more appropriate for that dinner date.
Diamond hoop earrings – think Jennifer Lopez – are very sexy, stylish and sophisticated. Today’s designs are very glamorous with narrow wires dotted with diamonds or heart shaped flat hoops which contour the ear. They can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion.
Dainty drop earrings are subtle and romantic and probably worn more for dressier soirees. Or if you really want to make a statement, go for the really large and dangly earrings with diamonds which look as though they are sending off sparks when they catch the light.
Finally are the gemstone earrings like sapphires which come in all shapes and sizes and are the perfect combination if you want to create a classic or antique look. The colour projected by sapphires, rubies and emeralds surrounded by diamonds is a perfect way to enhance a special outfit.
