Earrings-Traditions

Some people even have more than one hole in each ear, a trend that took off in the late eighties and remains to this day. For those who don’t have pierced ears but want to wear earrings, there are handy clip on styles. Here are some different trends and types of earrings that are popular these days:
Stud Earrings: Stud earrings are one of the most classic and traditional types of ear ornamentation available. A stud earring is simply one that is a small, simple stone, metal or jewel. This could mean diamond solitaires, birthstones, or delicate gold or silver studs in various shapes.
Chandelier Earrings: This is a vintage inspired trend that’s hot today. Chandelier earrings look very similar to an actual chandelier, featuring tiers of sparkling ornamentation. There are chandelier earrings that are costume jewelry, and those that are fine jewelry.
Hoop Earrings: Hoop earrings are another traditional style that is as popular today as they were ages ago. Hoops can come in a variety of different materials, such as gold, silver or even hard plastic.

For individuals with sensitive ears, stainless steel earrings are popular choices. Always keep earrings clean and if irritation develops, cease wearing them and treat the ear holes with peroxide or rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball or swab.

Why Choose Estate Jewelry? Estate jewelry is jewelry that is purchased (or sometimes inherited) from the collection of another person, whether departed or living. Basically, estate jewelry is used jewelry that has had a previous owner. This type of jewelry may or may not be vintage or antique.
