We may be biased, but to us, there’s no better gift than a stunning pair of designer earrings. In addition to their obvious beauty, their high-quality craftsmanship makes them ideal for everyday wear or special occasions, so you know your loved one will be able to get full enjoyment out of them for years to come.

However, you might be wondering how to find the perfect pair. After all, every gift should be as special as the person receiving it. To help you during your search, we’ve put together a guide on how to find the right pair for the person you love. 

Finding the Perfect Pair: What to Consider

STYLE

Studs: The simple, understated designs of stud earrings make them highly-versatile earrings, perfect for everyday wear or more formal occasions. 

Hoops: Hoop earrings are known for their sleek, simple design, but there are plenty of hoops available that give you a bolder look, such as our Affinity 3 Row White Gold and Diamond Earrings.

Dangle: Dangle earrings come in a wide variety of styles, from basic chains to elaborate gemstone designs, but one thing they all have in common is their delicate movement.  

Drop: Often confused with dangle earrings, drop earrings are like an extension of stud designs. They’re typically stationary and extend just below the ear, and they’re an easy way to instantly add elegance to any outfit. 

If you prefer a different look, we can work with you to design and create a style that’s totally unique. 

METAL

Platinum: Highly durable with a distinctive shine, platinum is an increasingly common choice for luxury jewelry. It’s also a hypoallergenic metal, perfect for people who easily experience irritation when wearing earrings.

Yellow Gold: Jewelry lovers everywhere adore yellow gold for its warm, rich hue. It adds a desirable charm to any luxury piece, and its classic beauty makes it a great choice for a wide variety of designs, from vintage-inspired to unmistakably modern.

White Gold: The ideal blend of durability, beauty, and price, white gold gives a dazzling touch to all types of earring designs and styles. Very malleable and scratch resistant, this precious metal lends itself well to intricate earring designs.  

Rose Gold: This modern shade of gold became popular for its romantic connotations, but today, it’s the ideal choice for anyone searching for a precious metal that’s both fashionable and nontraditional.

STONES

Diamond: One of the most desired materials on earth, diamonds are loved for their brilliance, singularity, and durability. As the adage goes, diamonds are forever, and with their endless versatility, they’re perfect for every day, too. 

Ruby: Rubies are steeped in symbolism, and their vivid red tone has made them prized jewels throughout the past and present. Their alluring hue, which can be even rarer than a diamond, instantly enhances the glamor of any outfit.

Sapphire: Whether your loved one prefers them in their sought-after blue, a glistening yellow, or somewhere in between, there’s a sapphire color out there for anyone. These precious stones are also highly durable and able to withstand everyday wear and tear.  

Tourmaline: Tourmaline is often bi-colored or even tri-colored, meaning you can find more than one color within the same stone. It’s a truly unique gemstone for the one-of-a-kind person in your life.
