Silver earrings

The Charm of Lunar Metal

Silver earrings have an edge over gold ones due to their versatility. This white metal is versatile: its relatively low price means it doesn't look flashy, and its neutral color allows for multiple pieces to be worn simultaneously.

It also easily adapts to any style—from vintage to futuristic—and can be matte or glossy, blackened or extremely light and solid. Silver is used to create both large, grotesque earrings and filigree pieces.

Selecting silver earrings

The sheer variety can make choosing difficult if you don't know what to look for. There are two sets of criteria: those related to the earrings themselves and those related to the appearance, style, and lifestyle of the person receiving them.

Types of earrings

Silver earrings can look completely discreet or unexpectedly extravagant. Some types of silver earrings include:

• Studs or studs – single or double;
• Hoop or congo earrings – from small to enormous;
• Drop earrings – earrings with a main and pendant section, which can have various shapes; this category also includes chandelier earrings – large, multi-tiered earrings with an abundance of decorative elements (previously known as girandoles or chandeliers);
• Cuffs or so-called "cuffs" – often frame the entire ear or most of it and require no additional piercing, being secured with clips;
• Drags, threads, and chains – the top section looks like a stud, but their pin is extended by a chain that descends from the earlobe, like a pendant;
• Solitaires or single earrings.

Jackets (earrings with removable decorative pendants), climbers (also known as clip-ons, inverted earrings, or crawlers—they extend from the earlobe upwards), and piercing jewelry (segment rings, horseshoe-shaped circular earrings, labrets, etc.) are also grouped separately. Modern jewelry houses offer a wide selection of single earrings and paired earlobe jewelry.

Earring clasp

The clasp isn't what's visible, but it's what ensures comfort, reliability, and security. Types of earring clasps include:

• Pin and screw clasps—typical for stud earrings;
• Invisible studs for hoop earrings;
• Loop or French clasp;
• English clasp.

Earrings with an English clasp are considered the most comfortable to wear and the most secure in terms of fastening. There are also models that don't require piercing—clips and cuffs are held in place by clasps.

Materials and technologies

Silver jewelry is primarily made from 925 fineness metal. Rhodium plating has become a new development in silver jewelry production. The base metal is coated with a thin layer of rhodium. This hard, noble metal from the platinum group is a scarce resource that is 10 times more expensive than platinum.

What this means:

• Silver does not tarnish or leave marks on the skin—rhodium creates a protective layer, preventing it from reacting with natural skin secretions and causing oxidation.
• Rhodium plating gives silver an additional cool shine.
• It protects against allergic reactions.
• Reduces wear by protecting the surface of the jewelry from mechanical damage.

Rhodium-plated silver earrings can be worn without the need to carefully clean pierced areas to remove black marks. Another advantage is that rhodium-plated silver is visually indistinguishable from white gold, making it easy to combine jewelry made from different metals. All TANGO silver earrings are made using rhodium plating.

Silver earrings with precious stones

Inlays of semi-precious and precious stones, as well as other materials, in silver earrings are typically found in cool tones—blue and light blue, violet, shades of green, black, and white. Sapphire, emerald, agate, and onyx make an ideal pairing with silver. Diamonds also look attractive, but are rarely set in silver due to the significant price difference. The most common option is cubic zirconia, both white and colored.

Another established jewelry pairing is silver and pearls. Enamel and rubber inlays have also gained popularity. If you're looking for something contrasting, consider silver earrings with inlays of precious stones in red shades, such as rubies and garnets. The shape of inlays in silver earrings isn't regulated by any rules—it can be any shape. Standard options include spheres, circles, ovals, rectangular shapes, and cabochons. Silver earrings can also be decorated with stones in the shape of a heart or leaf, and in the case of rubber and enamel, the variety is simply endless.

Silver earrings for women, men, and children—each with their own unique choice

Modern men's earrings are often simple—inconspicuous studs, small rings, and pendants. But there are also quite large silver earrings for the stronger sex—featuring rugged skulls, predatory animals, intricate symbols, or mechanical elements.

Ear piercing for women came into common use much later than for men—ladies adorned themselves with temple rings. But today, women make up the vast majority of earring lovers, and a huge variety of shapes, styles, inlays, and sizes of these jewelry pieces has been created for them.

Children's designs tend to feature cute and simple motifs—butterflies, ladybugs, bunnies, dolphins, cats, bows, and stars. Enamel inlays add a more colorful touch to silver earrings. Cubic zirconia is also used in children's jewelry. Earrings with an English clasp are ideal for younger ages, as this is the most secure type of clasp.

Choosing silver earrings based on your face type

When choosing silver earrings for yourself or as a gift, it's important to consider not only the jewelry itself but also how it will look on the person. Those with large facial features look great with chunky earrings, but for those with other facial features, it's best to avoid them and opt for miniature silver earrings to accentuate the face. Round faces look great with drop earrings and long, thin pendants.

The same applies to square faces, but triangular-shaped drop earrings are preferable. A perfect oval face shape looks great with anything, while an elongated face shouldn't wear long earrings—it's better to opt for large studs or hoop earrings. Hair and eye color, skin tone, and overall complexion are also important. If you're unsure about all these nuances, simply show a photo to our consultant, and we'll help you make the right choice.
