Many women perceive dangling gold earrings as an exclusively youth model of jewelry that is not appropriate for adult ladies to wear. Meanwhile, there are elegant gold earrings, they look sophisticated and suit literally all women. You should not be deterred by the impression that such decoration may look provocative. But when choosing a new gold accessory, you will need to take into account a number of features of your appearance in order to choose the most harmonious dangling earrings. You will also need to carefully examine your wardrobe to understand what earring design will suit it best.
When wearing gold drop earrings, there are a number of precautions that are important to strictly follow so that the fashion accessory does not cause harm to your health due to the nature of its design. But don’t worry, because it will only take up to ten minutes to study the instructions. But a successful purchase will please you for many years.
WHAT ARE POWER EARRINGS?
Elegant, prestigious, sophisticated - these are the words I would like to describe the thread earrings, which have become a hot trend this season. As the name implies, these earrings are threaded through the earlobe, without requiring any additional fasteners.
Some threads look like a long hook made of silver, gold or another alloy; other threads consist of a chain attached to a metal base.
Threads are an unusual type of earrings: they can be worn not only with the decorative part forward; they can be worn in reverse, so that the metal hook sparkles on the outside, and the decorative elements shimmer attractively behind the lobe.
In all looks, statement earrings look minimalistic and sexy. They are perfect for any outfit in your wardrobe. The absence of fasteners makes the threads light and easy to wear, and their universal shape is suitable for any piercing.
Consider eye and hair color
When we choose earrings, we first of all evaluate what outfits they will suit. And we rarely take into account the color of eyes and hair, but they play an important role. Earrings in red, brown and gold shades will highlight the beauty of brown eyes, earrings with cornflower blue and soft turquoise tints are combined with blue eyes, and lilac and emerald tones will add charm to green eyes.
It is believed that brunettes are more suited to bright and colorful earrings, while blondes are more suited to models in light and delicate pastel shades. The main thing is that large earrings do not “draw” all the attention to themselves, but only complement the image of their beautiful owner.
IT'S TIME TO UPDATE YOUR JEWELRY
Every season, fashion designers around the world create new designs for the catwalks, which are complemented with the most trendy accessories. If you're a fashion aficionado or a modern girl who always has her finger on the pulse of fashion, you'll definitely want to add slips to your jewelry arsenal.
If you're looking to overhaul your wardrobe and get rid of outdated items, don't forget about your jewelry box: keeping up with jewelry industry trends is just as important as keeping up with fashion trends in clothing. If you wear a dress that was just yesterday shown on fashion catwalks, along with out-of-date jewelry, your image will be spoiled, to put it mildly.
Stylish thread earrings with elongated hooks, swinging chains on metal studs - such earrings will undoubtedly attract attention. They follow the seductive curves of your neck, highlight your facial features and, most importantly, fit most modern hairstyles.
Thread earrings are perfect for little black dresses, strapless dresses and cocktail dresses. They add sophistication and European chic to the outfit: their slim silhouette enhances the femininity of the look, even if you are wearing unisex clothes like a men's shirt and office trousers. Spice up your look: if the threads sway in your lobes, any clothing will sparkle with new colors.
Remember your face shape
Long earrings frame the oval of the face and can visually lengthen, widen or make it too square. When purchasing your next accessory, think about whether these earrings are right for you. If you have...
...round face: long earrings in the form of narrow rectangles, elongated ovals, rhombuses, large drops suit you. Avoid round shapes, rings and massive discs.
... oval face: earrings of any shape suit you, but models with pendants or elongated ovals look especially good.
...square (rectangular) face: to soften the contour of the face, round earrings, thin discreet models, triangles or large rings are suitable. Avoid square and pointed earrings.
…heart-shaped face: pay attention to chandelier earrings, earrings with elongated arches and all kinds of pendants.
...long (narrow) face: wear earrings in the form of triangles, with a sharp angle upward, and squares. Forget about flat and too long earrings (below the chin).
HOW TO WEAR DRESS EARRINGS
Unlike other types of earrings that have fiddly clasps, wires, and screws that hold the item in place in the earlobe, threaded earrings can simply be inserted into the ear and will be held in place by their own weight. It couldn't be simpler.
To put on chain necklaces, take the pin and push it through your earlobe. When it appears on the other side of your ear, grab it and begin to gently pull out the chain.
Pull the chain through until the jewelry is level with the pin. Release the pin. It should turn out that half of the chain hangs behind the ear, and the other half with the decoration hangs in front of it.
Where is it appropriate to wear dangling gold earrings?
It is equally important to know what to wear with earrings so that they highlight your style and do not disrupt the harmony of your ensembles. For a business suit, designers recommend choosing thin gold jewelry with a minimum of decorative elements. The ideal solution would be elongated solid earrings that sit firmly in the earlobe and do not move while walking. They will not look provocative and attract unnecessary attention during business meetings, job interviews or at a crucial moment in the exam.
If you have to go to a special event, which is scheduled for daytime, then not very long thin dangling earrings inlaid with small precious or semi-precious stones will complement the look well. Similar options will look great with cocktail or evening dresses at social events. For special occasions that require evening wear, chandelier earrings studded with large stones are perfect. Such gold jewelry is self-sufficient, so you should not complement it with massive necklaces or beads. This can really weigh down your look. But a sophisticated gold bracelet on your hand or a discreet gold ring will look appropriate.
Earrings in ethnic style that sway when you move your head are a good way to brighten up your everyday look or highlight a themed outfit. Cute dangling gold earrings will help emphasize the elegance of a classic white blouse or the lightness of a summer sundress or dress. A democratic everyday option can be broach earrings inlaid with cubic zirconia or Swarovski crystals. The only taboo that should be observed when decorating yourself with dangling gold earrings is to never wear them with sportswear. Such a tandem is considered the height of bad taste.
Broach earrings would look appropriate at a special event. But in this case, you can’t waste time on trifles. And the design of the jewelry itself is made of high-grade gold, and the inlay with stones should match it. It is good to create an ensemble of dangling earrings with pearls, complemented by a pearl necklace or ring with a pearl. And the same set, but with diamonds, will become the embodiment of nobility and chic of its owner. But it is important to strike a balance between the cost of the jewelry and the class of event you plan to wear it to. Catchy and bright jewelry will come in handy at a social event, but for going to the cinema it is better to choose miniature earrings with chains of the most minimalist design.
Summer and spring are considered the best time to shine in the sun with gold broaches and other dangling earrings. In winter and autumn they are uncomfortable to wear, as they will constantly cling to scarves and massive collars.
Types of chain earrings
The main type is pull-chain earrings , the same ones that are pulled through the earlobe. The area hidden in the ear can be solid, that is, wire-like. There are also continuous chains.
The weight on their back is usually elongated, as if it continues the earring. On the front side, more decorative elements in the form of butterflies, flowers, triangles, and precious stones can serve as weights. However, long chain earrings are not always broaches.
Some products are, for example, studs. These are earrings with a lock on a straight pin. No one forbids attaching a chain to the front, which is what the designers do.
Long chain earrings are most often attached to a stud or English lock clasp
With the same success, a series of metal links, or even more than one, are attached to English locks, as well as hinges. Chains can be cascaded, gathered into tassels, hung from chandelier earrings, or braided into braids.
Some ear cuffs that are attached to the cartilage of the auricle cannot do without a series of metal links. There is a version for every outfit.

Details and subtleties
This type of jewelry can safely be called a seasonal accessory, because it is worn more often in summer than in winter. In a cold winter or chilly autumn, behind a heap of warm clothes, the elegant weaving of the chain will be invisible, and besides, there is a high risk of the edges of the product catching on the clothes and losing the chain forever.
In order to highlight the beauty of earrings, you need to combine them with clothes without a collar. A long bare neck will highlight the beauty of chains and become a real highlight of a summer outfit. These earrings look especially good on young women; older ladies should prefer other types of jewelry.
Hair can ruin the impression of a jewelry masterpiece. Therefore, try to pin them up or get a fashionable short haircut.
Price of chain earrings
The cost of earrings depends on the metal from which they are made. The price is affected by the presence of stones or rhinestones. A big brand name is also included in the price. With little brand awareness, sellers' requests tend to decrease. Another factor is the mass of decorations.
Where less metal is used, they ask to pay less. As a result, chain earrings made of non-precious alloys, for example, steel, without decoration and a big name, can be bought even for 200 rubles.
Branded, massive, ornate jewelry often costs thousands of dollars. However, earrings from both categories receive thousands of likes. It’s not so much about the value of the products, but about their suitability to the girl’s appearance and her chosen image.
Reviews of chain earrings
Those who have already worn chain earrings recommend carefully checking the balance of the jewelry in their reviews. Sometimes, manufacturers do not pay due attention to it and one of the ends of the decoration begins to outweigh. You can check the balance of your earrings right in the store. It is better not to wear it, but to hang it on a raised platform.
Chain earrings in the design of chandeliers
On a slippery surface, it quickly becomes clear whether one of the sides is over-tightening the earrings. Most owners of chain earrings agree that they are beautiful and sophisticated. Unanimously and voting for the convenience of decorations.
The only nuance that causes discomfort to some is threading the chains through the earlobes. So, a certain Bezberlogi writes: “It doesn’t feel very good when you put it on.
The earrings were given to me as a gift, so I received them without trying them on. I support the aesthetic choice, but my dear fellow would know what it’s like to drag them into the lobe).” Among the complaints about earrings and chains, online forums also contain comments that jewelry gets tangled in hair.
But here it is worth remembering about hairstyles that are suitable for long and elongated earrings. There should be no loose hair. However, what to do if you wear chains without taking them off? How to comb your hair? These questions remain open.
Some people notice that the heroines of the article also cling to their clothes. The replicas appear to be of poorly polished items with poorly sealed metal rings. So, when you come to the store, you should inspect the earrings for “burrs.” Fashionistas also recommend taking into account which earrings were worn before the chains.
Tatyana Reka, for example, says: “I have always had models with an English castle. He's pretty rude. The ears adapted to it, the holes stretched. Therefore, at first the chains were shaking. Then, the holes tightened back up, grabbed the chains, and the problem went away.”
We put on earrings
In the classic version, broach earrings are thin chains, at one end of which there are decorative elements (with stones, beads, pearls, enamel, etc.), at the other end there are narrow “studs” for ease of putting on. It is these pins that are threaded into the ears, the chains are pulled behind them, and the decorative elements are installed at the desired height.
Broaches can be worn in different ways. You can leave the decorative element hanging at any height, or you can pull it close to the lobe. If the decorative element is too heavy, you need to pull it higher, otherwise there is a risk of losing your favorite decoration.
Thread earrings should be worn on completely healed ears: no matter how miniature the chain links are, they will still open unhealed wounds. An exception (and a conditional one) is threading with monolithic arches in the central part: they are absolutely smooth, the earrings do not fidget in the hole, and irritation is minimal. However, there is a minus: you won’t be able to adjust the length of the earrings yourself.
Flaws
Draw-through earrings can be painful if you try to remove them too quickly. Discomfort will be caused by the friction of the chain links against the edges of the puncture. To avoid this, you need to put on and take off these earrings as carefully as possible.
Another common situation is excessive skin irritation. If she is sensitive to certain metals (such as nickel), then wearing earrings may be painful. This model is also not suitable for a fresh, not yet healed puncture - irritation can cause infection.
