This type of earrings can be very inexpensive and are ideal for someone who likes to experiment with new looks. The variety of styles is huge as some designs of earring that would be too heavy for pierced ears work extremely well with clips. The best thing about this type of earrings is the fact that they can be worn even if you do not have pierced ears. Yes, you definitely heard it right! You do not need to have ear piercing to be able to showcase their appealing charm. Women who are afraid of piercing will definitely be delighted to know that they can still wear earrings without having the need to undergo the process that they hate the most. Aside from that, clip-on earrings are very flexible and adaptable. Whether you are a teenager, in your nineties or anywhere in between, you will always be able to find clip-on earrings to look good on you.

If you are thinking about buying yourself some clip earrings, here are a few things to look for:

• Earring Design – This is perhaps one of the major factors that you have to take note of. Remember that there are lots of styles available for this type of earring, and you would want to make sure that you will buy something that stands out from the rest. Basically, you have to choose from simple or intricately designed earrings. Large dangly earrings are popular as clip-ons. Of course, those with elaborate and eye-catching styles will allow you to stand-out more from the crowd.
• Materials Used – Clip-on earrings are produced from a wide range of materials, with everything from plastic and beads, to gold, sterling silver and gemstones. It is important to decide whether you are looking for a quality pair of earrings that will last a long time, or whether you are just looking for an up-to-the-minute fashion accessory that you may only wear once or twice and then discard.

This is where clip earrings are such a good buy as fashionable pairs can often be bought very cheaply in department stores or even from thrift stores. You can have a different pair to go with every outfit in your wardrobe if you choose.

With retro fashions being so popular at the moment, a few pairs of cheap used clip earrings will keep you bang up-to-date. Look for styles from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Hygiene is not so much of an issue with used clip earrings as it is with earrings for pierced ears but if you are worried just wipe the clips with some babies’ bottle sterilizing solution and a clean cotton pad.

One of the things to be aware of with chandelier earrings is that they accentuate your neck, and in fact are a fantastic way to exude elegance and sophistication if you are quite tall and have a naturally long, slender neck. To complete the knockout look, wear a shoulderless dress, and your hair up – and then prepare to soak up the attention!

Don’t worry if you are shorter, or a little on the chubbier side; you don’t need to be a supermodel to get away with wearing chandelier dangle earrings. Just get yourself ones that are cuter and smaller, and it is best not to wear your hair up, as this can accentuate a round, fuller face.

As with many earring types, the dangly chandeliers are available in a bewildering array of styles. You could decide on an uber-sophisticated look, with glittering silver and diamond ones; or go for the fun and funky style with brilliantly colorful ones that scream to be looked at. In short, there is something in chandelier earrings to suit everybody, and every pocket. One of the trends, like in clothing fashion, is for vintage jewelry. This type of earring was probably considered a little out of vogue a few years ago, but since the celebrity classes revived them, even the old vintage designs are now beginning to gain renewed popularity.

As with many of the dangle earrings available, chandelier earrings are quite heavy and should not be worn too soon after getting your ears pierced. If you have been wearing earrings for a long time, you will be able to gauge for yourself which ones will simply be too heavy. So make sure you take care not to damage your piercings and earlobes. This style is great for those special occasions – even for red carpet occasions if you find yourself in that situation – but they are not really great for everyday wear, unless you opt for some little, lightweight ones.

But one thing is certain. That when you do show up for an event dressed to kill, with a striking pair of sophisticated chandelier earrings, you will ooze confidence and sensuousness, and be guaranteed to light up the room.

Not everybody wants to or is able to get their ears pierced, and this can be for a range of reasons. Some people are intolerant of the pain or even just the thought of it; some worry about things like getting infections after a piercing is done; others are concerned with ending up with permanent damage to their earlobes, especially if the piercing hole stretches (quite common with heavier earrings). For many other people, their beliefs may come into play; their religious beliefs might not permit things like pierced body jewelry or tattoos. Of course, it is also common in many households around the world where a younger girl (or boy) wants to get her ears pierced but the parents are against it, believing that she is too young. A clip on earring is a good choice as it causes no damage to young ears, and does not modify the body and so should not offend any religious beliefs.

Clip on earrings are also better for people who are impatient and don’t want the hassles of a real piercing, and having to wear a stud until it has healed, or who do not want to be style-limited by their earlobes – remember that great care needs to be taken not to wear heavy earrings, especially with recent piercings, as they can stretch the hole, and may cause permanent damage to the cartilage of the earlobe. So this is where clip on earrings stand out as an excellent choice. Any size or shape can be worn, whether they are small, large, dangly or whatever. They do not cause any damage at all, so large ones can be worn straight away, or quickly changed for cute little ones. The world of options really does open up for you, and the great thing about them is that stylistically, they have caught up with their piercing cousins, with clip on chandelier earrings, clip on earrings for kids, and pretty much any type you could wish for.

They work exactly how you would imagine they’d work; by gripping tightly to the earlobe – but without any pain or damage. They are held as tightly as any “normal” piercing-based earring, so don’t worry about them flying off at the slightest breeze. Clip ons are also easier to put on and take off, and if you are unlucky enough to ever get them caught up on something, such as clothing, they won’t stretch or tear  your earlobe if you accidentally give it a tug; with a clip on, it’ll just pull safely away from your ear.

So is there any point in wearing clip on earrings? I’d say so. They’re great for flamboyant style and showiness without the agony of torn piercings. They’re great for kids, so they can dress up and look pretty for special occasions. And they are also a neat solution for people who don’t usually wear earrings but fancy a change for a special “one off” occasion that wouldn’t warrant getting a real piercing.

Personal style is an important consideration when choosing drop earrings. Of course, if you don’t like this particular style, you won’t wear them. For some people wearing highly coloured or multicoloured drop earrings highlights their quirky or fun personality. However other people prefer the more sophisticated look. They will opt for simple drop earrings, usually with a single stone such as a diamond, or the cheaper versions which have a cubic zirconia instead.

Age is also a factor when choosing this type of earring. Longer dangling drops are normally worn by younger girls or women. For older women less is more, and the earrings need to be understated and elegant. As with all things jewelry-related though, the rules are not set in stone, and it is normally mood that dictates whether an outrageously extrovert design should be worn, as opposed to a discreet and demure design.

For all types of earrings, comfort is important. It is important not to wear heavy ones, especially dangle or drop earrings and definitely not immediately after getting your ears pierced. If you want to wear dangle earrings wait a few months, and just wear stud earrings – something nice and lightweight. If you wear heavy earrings too early, they will stretch the piercing hole, which can be painful and end up looking rather unsightly.

Drop earrings are available with a variety of fastenings, depending on how dangly they are, whether they are designed to move with your body (rather than attaching rigidly to your ears), and also according to the design itself. The dangly, moveable ones can be attached by ear wires, which are rather like hooks; or by a simple friction back. The latter is a good fastening when the design includes ornamentation attached directly to the front of your earlobe (like in the picture at the top of the page). The shorter, more rigid variety of drop earring is generally fastened using a lever back attachment.

Drop earrings are a very versatile style of earring, as they can be worn out on the town, or at the office, since their simpler design makes them a little more conservative than the more over the top styles. Learn more and buy Drop Earrings.

Dangle earrings can be found in a variety of lengths, from the relatively low-key examples that are barely an inch in length, to the other end of the scale with over the top, flamboyant designer pieces that almost reach the top of the shoulders. They can also vary in design, from the cute or understated designs that are popular with teenage girls, to the highly elegant and ornate designs, usually associated with the celebrities when they strut their stuff on the red carpets at movie premieres.

Attachment of this style of earring is normally by a simple hook (the French hook) that fits through the earlobe without actually closing onto any other part of the ring. Some styles, though, do connect via two wires which hook together.

Although there are hundreds of designs to consider when thinking about getting a pair of dangle earrings, you’ll still need to think about the usual safety precautions. Make sure that the earrings are hypoallergenic – if they have nickel as part of the alloy, remember this can cause allergic reactions. Especially with the dangling type of earring, also consider how much they weigh. If you are happy to really push the boat out, and opt for huge danglers, ensure they are not so heavy that they damage the piercings. If they are too heavy, they can quite easily rip through your earlobe – ouch! So take a little care to find just the right ones for you. In a lot of cases though, very reasonably priced lightweight pieces can be found, which will still be dazzling enough to illuminate your look!

And with so many to choose from, there is always a pair of perfect dangle earrings to make an elegant princess out of a special lady, whatever her age group – though some of the guys might say that with age comes more expensive tastes – and why not! Find out much more and browse a selection of Dangle Earrings.

Hoop earrings – like the name says – are simple hoops that encircle the earlobe, and come in a variety of sizes, from gigantic “back to the 80′s” ones, to the more discreet, professional-looking ones. By the way, it’s probably not a very good idea for the guys to try out the giant 80′s style hoops yet – times have changed, but maybe not that much and mens earrings need to be a little more subtle! Nevertheless, the boys can get away with fairly big hoop earrings, just not stupidly big. For both sexes, but perhaps more so the men, it is important to choose the right earrings for the occasion – out of practicality rather than fashion. If you have a particularly active job, you don’t really want to wear large hoop earrings that can get snagged on something and rip your ear – ouch! Same if you are very sporty. Take them out, or wear something nice and small and safe.
