Gold earrings

Gold earrings are traditional jewelry.

For many women, gold earrings are the first jewelry they've ever worn as children. Hypoallergenic gold is the perfect material for earrings for little ladies, and in adulthood, earrings become a given. While bracelets and necklaces don't go with every outfit, and rings can get in the way while working, a well-chosen earlobe doesn't interfere, doesn't bother, and doesn't impose any obligations, but rather enhances natural beauty and character.

The history of wearing earrings, both gold and silver, dates back approximately 9,000 years. Depending on the era and civilization, earrings have held a wide range of meanings—they were symbols of occupation and high or low social status. Today, they are simply jewelry, which, however, can also reveal a lot about their owners.

Secrets to choosing the perfect gold earrings

The first step is to determine who the earrings are intended for: a woman, a man, or a child. The range of women's jewelry is quite diverse, so it makes sense to consider additional criteria.

Some important rules:

1. Large earrings visually reduce facial features. Miniature earrings, on the other hand, draw attention to the face.
2. Long earrings visually make the face look slimmer, but only if worn in moderation – earrings should not reach the shoulder line, leaving at least 3–4 cm.
3. Massive chandelier earrings and long pendants suit tall women but not petite ones.
4. Earrings made of white metal or with light-colored stones create a good contrast with tanned skin. Likewise, white gold looks better on those with fair and pale skin. For warm tones, a natural blush, and freckles, it’s better to choose jewelry in red and lemon shades of this precious metal.
5. Eyes can be made more expressive with earrings inlaid with stones of the same color as the eyes. Close shades also work — for example, purple amethysts suit brown eyes. However, it’s important that the stone is not much brighter than the eyes.
6. An interesting effect can be achieved by contrasting hair color and the insert in the earrings. For example, red hair looks good with chrysolites, emeralds, green agates, and cubic zirconia.
7. An important selection criterion is the type of face. A round face should be visually narrowed with long earrings — chains or pendants. Wide, short earrings and hoops are more suitable for an elongated face. Those with a square face should choose elongated gold earrings — drops, triangles, or multi-tiered ones.

Men typically choose something simple and understated, especially when it comes to gold earrings. These include neutral or symbolic (religious or national symbols) studs, small pendants, and rings with or without inlays.

Gold earrings as part of the look

Many women divide their earrings into two types: those for everyday wear and those for special occasions. They choose based on their preferences, paying attention to comfort, how they complement a particular outfit, and the unspoken dress code. Neat studs or small pendants without unnecessary decorative elements are best for everyday wear. Such jewelry doesn't weigh down the earlobe, doesn't snag on clothing or hair, and doesn't interfere with sports or household chores.

Small earrings look perfect in both business and casual settings—they don't draw attention to themselves, allowing you to highlight your professional qualities. Large, statement earrings are perfect for holidays, parties, exhibitions, theaters, and presentations.

Jewelry with large gemstone inlays is typically worn in the evening. But this doesn't mean you have to be completely modest—pearls or scattered cubic zirconia pair beautifully with daytime looks.

Basic parameters of gold earrings

Most earrings are made of 585 gold. The color, however, offers much more variety — the most popular options are white, red, and yellow (lemon shade) gold. Jewelry made of combined gold also looks interesting and unique.

By appearance, earrings are divided into several types:

• Studs;
• drop earrings — regular and chandelier;
• hoop earrings;
• broach earrings;
• solitaires — also known as single earrings, unpaired jewelry;
• cuffs — their placement is not limited to the earlobe;
• piercing earrings.

The most common types of clasp are:

• Studs are a typical choice for stud earrings. They have either a screw or pin closure. The screw-on type is less common, but much more secure.
• A pin is a standard clasp for hoop or congo earrings.
• An English clasp closes with a click, ensuring high security. This type of clasp is typical for drop earrings and large, expensive jewelry.
• A French clasp secures the hoop with a special hook, offering a medium level of security.

Inserts

Earrings can be made entirely of gold or embellished with precious stones. There are several approaches to setting the inlays: classic, a row of stones, scattered stones, natural motifs, and large stones. Earrings with inlays can contain one or more stones.

The most common inlay materials are traditionally cubic zirconia, diamond, ruby, emerald, sapphire, agate, crystal, aquamarine, chrysolite, topaz, pearl, citrine, and others. Enamel also complements semi-precious and precious stones beautifully.

Shapes and cuts for inlay stones:

• Round;
• Spherical;
• Oval;
• Baguette — rectangular cut;
• Teardrop — pear, briolette;
• Cushion — a regular equilateral tetrahedron with rounded corners;
• Square — standard cut, as well as French and princess cuts;
• Octogonal — emerald and radiant;
• Unconventional.

Gold earrings are also often decorated with cabochon inserts—a stone that is completely flat on the inside, while the outside has a smooth, curved surface.
