Classic gold earrings and how to choose them

If there’s one piece of jewellery that’s absolutely universal and you’ll be reaching into your jewellery box for it time and time again (or to put it another way, you’ll hardly ever take it off), then it’s gold earrings. They come in many forms so every woman will be able to find a pair that best suits her needs. You can check dorado jewelry for unique and personalized earrings. If you’re looking for earrings that will be a versatile accessory for decades to come and that won’t go out of style then we’ve got some inspiration as well as some helpful tips on what to consider before you buy.

What to think about when choosing

When you decide to invest in gold earrings that you want to wear often or better still, for a lifetime, there are several features worth taking into account. First, you’ll probably want to think about what kind of earrings will fit in with your lifestyle. For example, if you’re more of a sporty type and aren’t into grand social events, large drop earrings with gemstones might not be the best choice for you, no matter how much you might like them. Instead of these, a minimalist pair of stud earrings will be both beautiful and practical as well as a secure choice, which is also why you’ll gladly want to wear them often.

Next, think about where you’ll want to wear them most often. If they’re mainly intended to dress up your outfit at work, the choice of earrings will likely be different to if you wanted to wear them on a hike in the mountains or with an evening dress.

Last but not least, the shape of your face and the way you wear your hair also play a role. Longer drop earrings tend to be recommended for rounder faces as they visually elongate the face. With short hair or hair which has been tied back, an attractive pair of studs could stand out nicely.

Diamonds in the starring role

Few pieces of jewellery are as timeless as diamond earringsDiamond stud earrings always come in handy and make an easy choice, even when you just need an earring for one ear– for example, if you have extra holes in your ears. In that instance, you could choose a bolder pair of drop earrings for the first hole in each ear and then accessorize them with this simple diamond stud.

Diamonds can also be set into earrings with various motifs or can be set all the way along the length of long earrings, which is sure to appeal to lovers of luxury.

Hoops keep making a comeback

Some people don’t understand their popularity, others can’t get enough of them – that’s exactly how you might describe hoop earrings. If you belong to the latter group, you probably already know that current fashion trends dictate that hoops are back in and that they will probably continue to come back into vogue in the future. So you don’t need to worry about regretting that you bought this jewellery in a few years’ time.

If you like natural themes, try gold hoop earrings with a mini leaf-shaped pendant. If on the other hand you’re looking for a more subtle accessory, opt for smaller, thinner hoops with a smaller diameter. And for those looking for earrings which are guaranteed to attract attention, there are hoops decorated all the way around with diamonds or colour gemstones.

Has minimalism won you over?

If clean lines, simple shapes and quality craftsmanship without unnecessary frills appeal to you then minimalist earrings are the ones for you. What’s more, they’re easy to mix and match with other jewellery and you don’t have to worry about the final look being incompatible. For example, balls and other geometric shapes are very popular minimalist designs.

Pearls and gemstones done in a thousand different ways

Pearls are sometimes (wrongly) perceived as rather old-fashioned jewellery. But if you look around the offerings in jewellery stores, you’ll find that they can be incorporated into earrings in fresh, modern designs that are suitable for any age all the while respecting their tradition.

So far we’ve mostly discussed neutral tones. However if you’re looking for something more colourful and cheerful, there’s a very wide range of earrings with gemstonesavailable. You could choose them based on your favourite colour, your zodiac sign or birth month, or based on which colours suit you the best.

In this case, combining such earrings with other jewellery is a bit more tricky so we recommend sticking to one colour. You can then accentuate the colour’s vibrancy with white diamonds.
