Two pairs of earrings or earrings. Precious style: main types of earrings

Stud or stud earrings have been widely known since the early 20th century due to their versatility. Precious or semiprecious stone, pearls, enamel or a figurine made of precious metal, tightly fitting to the ear - these are the main motifs of this jewelry. The shape can be any that is accessible to your imagination: geometric, fantasy, animals, stars... If you have already tried all this, then following the fresh fashion trend, you can put earrings from different pairs on each ear.

Pendants

Playful, constantly moving elongated pendants can magically transform any woman: they visually lengthen the face, convey femininity, lightness and aristocracy. These earrings can be long or short, narrow or voluminous, the main thing is to choose what suits you.

Chandelier earrings

Chandelier earrings can be classified as a subtype of pendants; their second name is “chandeliers”. Narrow at the tip and widening towards the bottom, they got their name because of their resemblance to multi-layered decorative chandeliers. Large size, complex weaving, abundance precious stones or even feathers, elongated shape, complex design and bright appearance ensure close attention to woman's face. That is why these earrings are considered self-sufficient evening jewelry, requiring careful consideration when choosing other jewelry.

Hoop earrings

Hoop earrings are probably the very first type of earrings invented by mankind, also called congo. Their shape is, perhaps, all that unites the diversity of these decorations together. Depending on the diameter, materials used and style, products can look different: from touching miniature rings to giant shoulder-length earrings for a socialite. There are also Creole earrings that are shaped like a crescent moon.

Clusters (bunches)

According to the method of setting, the clusters resemble studs, but they are distinguished by the front side: several stones are collected into a single enchanting composition. Stones can be of various shapes, cuts and colors; decorative inserts or hanging elements are also allowed.

Cuffs are earrings that cover most of the ear, starting from the lobe and ending with the entire length of the cartilage. Often combined with earrings, they can also be attached independently, without a hole in the lobe. These fashionable jewels change almost every season. That is why cuffs come in different sizes and can decorate the entire ear, half of it, or even be attached only to the cartilage in the form of a small ring.

Earrings - climbers

These earrings entered jewelry art under the influence of fashion just a few years ago and represent a logical continuation of cuffs. The main feature of climbers (from the English climb - to climb) is that, due to their elongated design, they seem to “climb” up the earlobe, usually no higher than the cartilage. A more common name for climbers is inverted earrings.

Earrings - Jackets

Another trend born of fashion. Jacket earrings are studs, the main one decorative element which are put on the back of the ear, where the clasp is located. Often, jackets can be changed to suit the mood or removed altogether, leaving only studs.

They rule the roost, being born in new and new variants.

Even the cuffs that recently came from the world of subcultures are changing, becoming more and more refined. Double earrings, which, on the contrary, came from the “higher spheres” - the fashion house of Dior, continue to rapidly conquer the world. Jewelry asymmetry has grown and matured to completely incongruous sets and then to the concept of mono-earrings. And - completely new types of ear jewelry appear, the names of which sound completely unusual: climbers and jackets.

We invite you to take a closer look at the most trendy varieties of earrings, which we have grouped by name especially for you. After all, unlike extreme options like, our new products do not require any additional effort or ear piercings. It’s simple - a little courage to be the first, as well as perseverance to find the option you like. By the way, we hope that jewelers will respond to this as soon as possible new trend, and all these decorations can be easily purchased from us.

1. Cuff earrings - growing in popularity

These earrings are a modern alternative to clip-on earrings and can be worn just as well without piercing your ears. Cuffs, like a half-open cuff bracelet, “hug” the auricle. They can have a “dramatized” appearance - for example, the shape of wings, but today very miniature options like ordinary rings are also popular.

Their complex varieties include combined options, for example, a cuff plus a stud earring, connected by chains.

2. Climber earrings or inverted earrings (ear climbers or crawlers)

These earrings are very figuratively called “climbers” or “crawlers” from English words climb(climb) and crawl(crawl). And indeed, like miniature snakes, these earrings “run” up the ear, held in place by a stud on the earlobe at the base, and a long pressing loop on the back of the earring or a cuff at the top of the earring. By the way, on the Russian market this type is gradually becoming known as “inverted earrings,” which, you see, also quite accurately reflects the essence.

3. Double-sided earrings (front to back)

These earrings function as their name suggests. The front earring is attached to the back earring. The stone or decorative part of the back earring is always larger than its front “friend”, and thus the back fragment is visible to everyone.

We recently wrote about the most famous variety of such double earrings - .

4. Jacket earrings

Jacket earrings have an equally figurative name. Let's remember such a wardrobe item as a jacket ( jacket- jacket in English). It is thrown over the shoulders to create an image, but at any time the girl can take it off, remaining in a basic blouse or T-shirt. Likewise, these earrings are distinguished by the presence of a removable decorative pendant, which is put on a stud and ends up behind the earlobe.

Classic (if one can say so in the proposed circumstances) “jackets” (for those who were already familiar with them) usually have the shape of a drop or a circle:

But today, many variations of jacket earrings have emerged, essentially updating the entire category. New items of this type resemble flying flirtatious skirts, with only the edge peeking out from under the earlobe. Quite often they are sold one at a time - the unobtrusiveness of their image makes it possible to combine them with an earring of a different shape. Designers have come up with other variations of this decoration - including “linear” ones, extended downwards.

Jewelry fashion does not stand still and those who follow trends are no longer limited to one single earring or identical earrings in one ear. Let's look at examples of ideal and stylish combinations that will become an effective demonstration of your own style and help diversify your usual looks.

As we know, opposites attract.

One of the main trends of autumn 2015 is the combination of different earrings in one pair. The whole difficulty lies in combining completely different decorations, which should look contradictory and at the same time harmonious. Many examples can be seen on the catwalks and in the collections of the world's leading designers.

Leading jewelry brands have simplified the task by creating stylish sets of different earrings for the fair half. Combination options depend on the preferences of the owner.

As a rule, the emphasis is on one ear. The main element of one of the earrings may be an unusual pendant or stone, while the second piece of jewelry is a minimalistic opposite of the first. Similar in theme or style, they look like a couple.

This option looks fresh and unusual, attracts attention and looks really impressive.

Stud earrings combined with cuff

It turns out that even ordinary studs can be worn in an original way: just combine them with a cuff cuff that is attached to the edge of the ear.

This set is perfect for every day and for going out. Due to the minimalist design, the jewelry will organically fit into the everyday dress code, arousing the genuine interest of others.

The number of ear cuffs on one ear may vary; you should find the option that you like best.

Long earrings combined with studs

Classic long earrings can look more trendy when paired with studs.

Let us immediately note that this option is only suitable for those who have several piercings in one ear. It is important to consider that the main accent is the long earring, not the stud. The size of the studs should be smaller than the largest elements of the elongated model.

This combination will make the image more youthful and at the same time not too shocking.

Geometric Accents

Structural details and a combination of opposite shapes, when skillfully combined, can look advantageous and unusual. Pay attention to the metal from which the jewelry is made and the size of the earrings. Don't be afraid to experiment with color: sometimes contrasting combinations can be more interesting and attractive.

Playing with color

An interesting option could be a combination of several earrings with stones (or enamel) of different shades of the same color scheme. Here your imagination is limited only by the contents of your box. You can see which shades you should combine to look harmonious in our article on color combinations.

It is important that the jewelry has a similar shape and is made of the same metal. It is also desirable that the darkest earring be located at the bottom.

Playing with size

beautiful and stylish option could be a mix of stud earrings of different sizes.

The main rule with this combination: the largest earring should be on the earlobe.

At the same time, if it is important for you to look strict and restrained, it is better to opt for earrings with inserts of the same color. The ideal option would be studs with cubic zirconia or Swarovski Zirconia.

Don't think that this option is only suitable for lucky owners of several piercings in one ear. You can easily “cheat” and replace the studs with clip-on earrings.

Hoop and stud earrings

Stud earrings can make your look with large congos more original. This option looks modern and a little rebellious, so it will definitely appeal to those who like to experiment with style.

Small details will add playfulness to the image, and the usual congas will gain a second wind and become an interesting accent in youth images.

Themed decorations

Not only pendants can be stacked, but also... earrings, if you wear them together.

Decorations on the theme of love or travel - it all depends on your preferences and interests. This combination can tell others about your tastes and character. This option will appeal to the most unusual and creative people.

New models of earrings - an opportunity to show your imagination and try different combinations. Feel free to experiment and look for the perfect option for yourself!

As always, fashion is a capricious lady, unpredictable and original. Now you can wear large earrings one at a time. This “corsair” style is not only fresh (if you don’t take into account men's fashion for wearing earrings), but also practical.

Women have always worn earrings in pairs, but men sported only one earring, but now this is a women's trend. And it all started, of course, from the catwalk, where models with large jewelry in one ear walked. The trend was picked up, and now in photographs many celebrities demonstrate the presence of a long or massive earring on one side, leaving the other ear only for symbolic decoration.

This is interesting:

Before this, it was customary for charming representatives of humanity to wear only cuffs or an unpaired earring if there was a third piercing in the ear. But everything is changing and the new democratic trend has already taken root, although it has a logical explanation. The normcore style, which has become fashionable, prescribes simplicity and conciseness of things and accessories.

One earring can be easily combined with any style of clothing. There is no need to limit your creativity. The main thing you need to pay attention to special attention this is a hairstyle. Any hairstyle that reveals one ear will look ideal.

How to combine incompatible things

Don't be upset if you've lost one earring from your favorite pair. Feel free to wear the remaining one, choosing another one for it, which at first glance may not be suitable at all. However, relying on the experience of the world's leading designers, observing several simple rules It turns out that it’s quite simple to combine the incongruous.

There is no need to immediately run to the store for a new pair. You can try to put together interesting combinations of earrings from what you already have, and be creative. In this case, originality is guaranteed. The main thing is to know what you should pay special attention to:

size
form
material

Earrings of different sizes, in the same style, are quite harmoniously combined. At the Oscars, Scarlett Johansson demonstrated the possibility of such a combination. You can easily choose simple shaped jewelry of different sizes, for example, hoop earrings.

It is best to select earrings of different shapes from small items. For example, studs with a round stone in one ear and a square one in the other will look very good and stylish.

As for the material from which the jewelry is made, it is quite easy to find a simple solution. White gold goes harmoniously with silver. Especially considering that both are, in most cases, plated with rhodium, so they visually look exactly the same. Also, if one earring is made of two colors of gold, you can wear a single-alloy jewelry on the other ear.

This is useful to know:

We can sum it up in the words of a woman whose originality is extremely difficult to doubt. Being different from others is easy, but being unique is very difficult. Lady Gaga. Fashion and style are a constant movement forward in search of new solutions. Therefore, how many and what earrings to wear is up to you to decide.
