Styles Of Gold Earrings

When you are deciding on what style of gold earrings will best fit you and your lifestyle then there are several things to consider. How often do you plan to wear this particular pair of gold earrings? How active are you? Do you have small children? What type of hair do you have: long, short or curly? Finally, what type of clothing do you most often wear?

Lifestyle

One of the first things you need to consider before buying gold earrings is your lifestyle. If you are the active type who puts in a pair of earrings and takes them out only when she has to, then you may want to consider studs rather than something that dangles. The reason for this is that studs sit flush against the ear and are less likely to fall out unexpectedly. This style of earring is also good for active women who run or participate in any other athletic activity without removing her earrings.

Mothers

Any mother of a small child will tell you that long dangling earrings are only an invitation for junior to yank and pull. You want gold earrings that perhaps fall just below your hairline and move with you, but your child will likely see that movement as an invitation to grab. Perhaps it may benefit your poor earlobes to sidebar the long dangling styles until junior is a bit older, and stick with studs or short dangling gold earrings for the time being.

Hair Styles

Some of the most beautiful and alluring gold earrings made are those that are long and dangling. They are the type of earrings that move with your hair and make your hair glisten. However, if you have long or really curly hair, dangling earrings may present snagging problems. If this is a problem, and the snagging causes your fishhook styles to pop out, then you may want to add a rubber back. If it is not a problem for you, then you are free to enjoy a wide variety of styles of gold earrings such as fishhooks, dangles, chandeliers and even hoops.

Clothing Style

One final consideration is the style of clothing you most often wear. Studs, small hoops and understated dangles can look good with almost anything; however, the more dramatic gold earrings probably should not find their way into your more conservative business attire. Instead, save the fun stuff for after work so that your earrings will always accentuate rather than overwhelm your outfits. Now, the next time you find yourself at that jewelry counter, you are much more prepared to buy gold earrings based not only on what your find beautiful, but also on what is practical for your lifestyle and needs.
