It is the most charming part along your face. Select the most appropriate earrings that go well with your face is the most important thing.

Most earring styles go with anything, so they won't become wardrobe issues. Earrings are available in some different basic types: studs, drops, chandelier, and hoops.

Studs
Because they're small, stud earrings are easy to wear. They go as easily with a cocktail dress as they do with jeans. You'll find a variety of styles in cultured pearl earrings, diamond earrings and gemstone earrings.

Drops
Drop earrings are made to dangle below their setting. Swaying with movement, they can add an elegant touch. Pearl, diamond, and gemstone drop earrings are available in various settings.

Chandelier

The earring has multi-branches that hang down from the earring base. At the end of branch are some pearls or other gemstones, most are tear or drop shaped.

Hoops
Platinum, 18k gold, or silver hoops give a feminine touch, and precious metals go with anything. For added sparkle, choose a pair with diamonds.

The Most Popular Gemstones

Most of women love jewelry. Some are partial to certain types of metals like gold or silver. Others love the classic statement that pearls make. Some prefer gemstones while others like opaque gem, which are classified as semi-precious.

It comes as no surprise that the diamond is the most popular gemstone of all time. It is equally popular among both men and women. But, unlike days past, today's woman is very much into the colors of diamonds; particularly pale yellows, blues, and pinks. Men, on the other hand, still prefer the standard clear. The Blue Wittelsbach (on picture) is a 35.56-carat blue diamond is the most expensive diamond ever sold at auction for $24.3 million.


Women, on the whole, also have an affinity for pearl. Pearls have been a symbol of sacred power and the goddess of love for hundreds of years. While whites and creams remain the most popular, black pearls, as well as champagne and cocoa are also becoming highly desired.

Emerald is one of the highest ranks in popularity. The gemstones can be difficult to find in high quality and large stone size. However, perhaps it is that rarity that makes the stone so sought after. Certainly, today's emeralds are among the world's most expensive gemstones; often costing more than diamonds.

Aquamarine is another most popular gemstone, which has become a favorite among today's jewelry designers. Perhaps it is the pale blue green color that appeals to a lot of women. Perhaps it is the fact that it is somewhat rare and can, therefore, be expensive. Aquamarine has supplanted the spot that once belonged solely to the ruby.

Tourmaline belongs to the five most popular gemstones, even though it wasn't even well known a few decades ago. Tourmaline comes in virtually every color of the rainbow and many of them are more vibrant and have more fire than anything else on the market today.

Celebrity In Pearl Necklace Style

~ dLoewi ~ Celebrities seem to have a long time love affair with pearl jewelry as most women adore pearls too. Pearls always elevate an outfit to a certain sophistication and status that other jewelry cannot achieve.

The classic string of pearls is getting an instant update. Layering long pearl necklaces with metal chains or with even more pearl strands of different sizes give a funky mix-and-match vibe. Some artists, such as Katherine Heigl, Jamie Lynn Sigler, Sandra Bullock, and Rihanna, do a fabulous job at pairing simple pearl necklaces, long pearl necklaces, and chunky pearl necklaces with the right outfit.

In various public appearances, Heigl channels the Hollywood glamour of the 50’s and 60’s with a modern twist. To show off the elegance of her timeless pearls, Heigl has been seen wearing a classic up-doo to harmonize with the circular show stoppers. She is a master at accessorizing both hair and jewelry to complement one another. For The Ugly Truth movie premier, Heigl radiated in a multi-stranded chunky pearl necklace along with her Lanvin dress.

Rihanna is another artist who has an extreme sense of style. She showed up at the London premiere of Inglorious Bastards wearing, about a thousand layered pearl necklaces. Rihanna took pearls to the edge by piling them on in varying sizes and lengths.

When wearing a pearl necklace, it is important that everyone see the entire arrangement from front to back. Subtle pearl shine is hard to come by, so make sure to show it off all the way around your neck. Keeping hair down takes away your pearls from the fancy fashion.

Pearl jewelries truly bring an element of the past to the present and are great for any occasion, big or small, move premier or movie date night. Pearl jewelries are classic and beautiful. Celebrities and ordinary folks reach the same level of beauty, with or without millions of fans, once that pearl necklace is clasped and glowing delicately around our necks.
