Jewelry for the Holidays

When you are in the market for a new pair of constant-wear earrings, you want to take some specific things into consideration to ensure you are happy with your purchase. There are a lot of styles to choose from and if you don't have a grasp on your personal style yet, then shopping for that right pair can be intimidating. Here are some things to keep in mind that can help you get the right pair of earrings for yourself.

Consider your face shape

Many people don't realize that some earrings won't look right on certain face shapes. If you have a very small and round face, then you should stay away from large hoops. These large round hoops next to your small and round face will make it look even smaller and rounder. If you have a very long and narrow face, then you should stay away from long tear-shaped earrings because this style of earring will only enhance the narrowness of your face.

Consider your complexion

If you have a dark complexion, then a pair of yellow gold earrings can look stunning against your skin. If you have an olive complexion, then you should steer clear of earrings that have yellow gemstones. Earrings with red gemstones tend to complement any skin tone. A creamy skin tone can look beautiful next to black hills gold earrings.

Consider your hair

If you have hair that lies close to the side of your face, then you may want to go with earrings that are small or that have a smooth design. Wearing earrings with a sharp design to them or that are big can end up getting snagged in your hair a lot.

Consider your lifestyle

If you have a very active lifestyle and a person who is involved in things like sports and strenuous workouts, then you need to choose a pair of earrings that are small and unobtrusive if you plan on wearing them regularly. Otherwise, you can end up getting an earring pulled out of your ear.

Consider the backings

If you are looking for earrings to keep in your ears, then you want to stick with post earrings. Earrings that don't have a post and snapping back will tend to come out while you are sleeping and get damaged or lost. You also want to stay away from longer posts, because these can hurt if they poke your neck.
