Women's Earrings

If you are worried about your skin reacting, you should buy earrings that are nickel-free and hypoallergenic. The best metals to wear are those made with gold, platinum, or silver, other materials include stainless steel, titanium or plastic.

After every wear, you should gently wipe them down with a microfibre cloth. When doing a more thorough clean, use a mild dishwashing liquid in water to gently scrub at built up dirt. Make sure to thoroughly dry the earrings afterwards, making sure to remove all moisture from the surface.

When choosing what earrings to wear, you should consider a couple of things. Your skin tone, your hair colour, your outfit, and your lifestyle. Statement earrings are perfect for partying and events, and stud earrings are ideal for everyday styling.

Heavy earrings can cause discomfort after prolonged periods of wear, and can pull painfully on the lobes of your ears. When wearing heavy earrings in your lobes, it is best to wear them for short periods of time, and to take them out once the pain sets in.

Clip-on earrings are designed to be comfortable for prolonged periods of time and are often worn by those who aren’t ready to commit to pierced ears, or utilised for heavier earring designs to ensure comfort for long term wear. They also have the added benefit of not irritating sensitive skin or causing ear infections as there is not piercing needed.

The best plan is to match your earrings to the level of formality of the occasion. For brides, a classic look involving pearls or a refined style is perfect. If attending a formal event, more glamorous drop earrings are ideal for adding glamour and glass to an outfit. On nights out or at spring racing, bold statement earrings are perfect for a more dramatic silhouette and look.
