Stud earrings come in a variety of shapes, styles and sizes, and often people have a number of stud sets in their trinket boxes so that they can choose the pair that is right for the occasion.
Â
Initially, you should consider the metal that has been used to create the base of the stud. Often a metal like gold or silver will be used, as these metals are less likely to cause an allergic reaction. Some people react to metals like nickel, so you need to be aware of your own sensitivities when making your choice. More modern choices of metal for the base earring are titanium and platinum. However, as the base part of the earring is not always on show, you may consider the choice of such a metal to just be an extravagance.
Â
If you choose to buy a white gold stud earring, then you will have an item that will complement any silver or platinum jewellery that you have, and which is very stylish. Â However, many white gold items are coated with rhodium to enhance their appearance, and this plating can wear off in time if the piece is not treated carefully. Hence, you must ensure that you clean your earrings carefully and remove them when washing your hair.
Â
A well selected gold stud earring or silver stud earring will be an item of great beauty, even though it is small, and can sometimes be a good conversation starter. A diamond stud earring, if polished and looked after, will shine in the light and sparkle beautifully. Whether you elect to wear two earrings, or only one, your item of jewellery will mark you out as a person of distinction.
Â
If you are looking for something a little unusual, why not go for another sort of precious stone in your earring? For instance, a ruby stud earring will shine with a brilliant red glow, and you could choose this to match with your clothes. Likewise, you may choose an opal stud earring, emerald stud earring or amethyst stud earring to match your eyes or your hairpiece.
Â
One type of earring that is timeless is the pearl stud earring, which brings with it an air or distinct elegance. Pearls are valuable stones, and have always been sought after because of their beauty and rarity. If you prefer, you could look for a false pearl stud earring, which will be much cheaper, but these do not always shine with the same lustre.
Â
Whether you are purchasing earrings for yourself or for your partner, you want to buy the best, as they are important showpieces. Most high street jewellers have stocks of stud earrings, but their range will always be limited because they will be tied to a single supplier, and because of space limitations. Nowadays it is much easier to buy earrings on the internet, where you can compare the various items available from many different shops, and choose the ones that are right for you. You are also more likely to find a good bargain, and you could well find yourself with a pair of very good, cheap gold diamond stud earrings at a fraction of the price you would otherwise have paid. When buying over the internet, don’t forget that the distance buying legislation protects you and you have the right to return them if they do not meet your expectations.
