Tips for Wearing Chandelier Earrings

Chandelier earrings are no longer just a trend, they have definitely become a style classic. When we’re talking chandelier earrings we are speaking of jewelry that can take you from daytime to night-time. They even have the capability to turn even the simplest outfit into a high styled and a very current look.
However, just because these pieces don’t ever go out of style doesn’t mean you just wear it any way you feel like, not every style is right for every woman. Even jewelry has its rules, in fact, by choosing the wrong style chandelier earring you can from fashionable to fashion victim in minutes.  
So how to do you know what type of chandelier earring to choose? Here a few tips…

Choose Your Look
There are several kind of chandelier earrings so pick a pair depending on the look you’re trying to achieve, and the purpose or occasion you’re wearing it for. Junk jewelry made of cheaper metal is usually better for casual occasions and looks, and shorter lengths (no more than 2″ long) for daytime. They look especially fabulous if you’re going for the always in fashion Bohemian gypsy look. On the other hand, earrings made of gold, silver or any precious metal or even adorned with stones are better suited to a more formal occasion.

Lengths and Size
With chandelier earrings, the longer the better. WRONG!! Don’t get me wrong, long is definitely beautiful but these earrings should NEVER ever be longer than your neck or you could end up looking like you’re being dragged down by the weight of your earrings! If it’s touching the top of your shoulder when you’re standing, it’s going to be dangling into your cleavage by the time you sit down! Instead choose a style that leaves at least 1 inch of space between the bottom of the earring and the top of your shoulders. 

• measuring guide: Put your thumb ( nail side down) on your collarbone and extend your index finger up till it hits your jawline. Without moving your fingers take your hand away and measure the distance between your thumb and index finger. That should be about the right length for your chandelier earring – for most women it’s an earring between 2.5″ and 2.75″ long.

Type of Chandeliers for your Face
If you have a broad, round face, wear slimmer chandeliers and avoid ones with a broader base because they only seem to make your face look broader and rounder. If you have a thin face, balance it out with broader earrings in exactly the opposite way. And remember, if you have very short hair, don’t wear earrings that fall too far below your jaw line otherwise it just seems disproportionate.
 

Other Jewelry
As chandelier earrings in themselves create a pretty dressed up look, I would suggest not wearing any other jewelry with them. You could wear a matching bracelet or a ring at the most. However, definitely avoid an Over The Top neckpiece at all costs otherwise you look a little too much like a Christmas tree. Let’s just focus the attention on the beautiful earrings instead.
 

Most importantly, never forget to shop for a pair of chandelier earrings. It is a versatile jewelry item as it suits every complexion; every face cut and every outfit. Females wearing these fashionable earrings certainly catch holds the attention of the people. Every girl should own one pair, if not many pairs.
