Woman has always tried to decorate herself and attract more attention of the opposite sex. A variety of means were used for this, and jewelry is an excellent combination of business and pleasure. It is believed that a gold earring in the ear is an exclusively female adornment, but this is not entirely true. To understand this, you need to look into the history of this product.
The story of one earring
Strange as it may seem, but a gold earring has long been considered a purely male adornment. At different times and in different parts of the world, this product could tell a lot about its owner. For example, in Egypt, one earring in the ear spoke of the high status of a man. In eastern countries, a silver or gold earring was encrusted with precious stones and again indicated a high position in society. A copper earring in an ear in Russia meant that you were a serf, but precious metal earrings, on the contrary, spoke of the high rank of the one who wears them. And only by the 16th-17th centuries this decoration began to fully belong to the female half of humanity.
Gold earrings in modern times
Today earrings -perhaps the most popular type of jewelry among women. For the fair sex, this is a way to draw attention to your face and even, perhaps, visually correct any flaws in it. Jewelers are pleased to offer women a huge range of gold earrings, suitable for any image, style, mood of their owner.
Earring classification
Conventionally, all gold earrings can be divided into groups according to the type of clasps:
- stud earrings (otherwise they are called "studs");
- pendant earrings;
- classic earrings with English clasp;
- earrings with "loop" clasp;
- clip-on earrings.
If we talk about the number of inserts, then the gold earring can be:
- no insert;
- with cubic zirkonia;
- with precious stones (diamonds, emerald, sapphire and ruby);
- with semi-precious stones (all quartz, organic stones, and ornamental rocks).
Classic gold and cubic zirconia earrings
This is the cheapest option and is especially popular among young people. Jewelry without inserts can be diamond-cut, which gives the product a greater shine. Cubic zirconias are increasingly framed in a "brilliant cut". This method helps the cubic zirconia "catch" more light rays, which provides a magnificent shine of the jewelry.
Earrings with semi-precious stones
This group includes stones such as topaz, amethyst, aquamarine, pearls, coral, amber, chrysolite and many, many others. When choosing such jewelry, you should build on your color type. So, for example, gold earrings with amethyst (lilac-colored stone) are more suitable for girls with dark eyes and swarthy skin. Blue topaz will perfectly emphasize the beauty and depth of the gray or blue eyes of a white-skinned beauty. But earrings with chrysolite or chrysoprase will become the best friends of a swarthy owner of green or brown eyes. Gold earrings with pearls (a representative of the class of organic stones) are considered the best jewelry for the bride. It is white pearls that can emphasize the beauty, tenderness and innocence of any bride.
Jewelery Diamond Earrings
Diamond is a classic of the genre, this stone suits everyone. Today, in the windows of jewelry stores, you can increasingly find earrings and other items with diamonds made in white gold. It so happened that a transparent, pure diamond in a white setting looks much more advantageous due to the fact that the stone seems much larger than it really is. However, such jewelry has a very impressive value.
