Earrings are the largest category of jewelry that women purchase, both as gifts for others and for themselves. Earrings can set the mood of the wardrobe. They complete the look and express the wearer’s individual style. When it comes to deciding what to wear or choosing a look, earrings are like shoes, handbags and other essential accessories. You simply cannot have enough earrings in your jewellery box.
If we base our prediction of new trends in earrings on recent fashion and awards shows then the buzz on earrings is that longer, dramatic styles are all the rage. This includes both hoops and diamond earrings. Larger hoops and three-stone diamond earrings are gaining popularity. The larger hoops are being seen with diamond accents or multiple charms. Dangles and drops are also in vogue. Especially the ones with interesting textures and studded with diamond or splashes of gemstone color. Diamonds, color and glitz and glamour are back. Swingy shoulder sweeping designs look hot.
If we talk in terms of metal, yellow gold is catching momentum. Fashion trendsetters are seen gravitating towards orange-yellow stones. Coral, carnelian, mandarin garnet, fire opal, jasper, topaz, amber and citrine are in the red hot category at the moment. Turquoise is not far behind in its appeal in this category.
Versatility is the major factor that is deciding the trends in earrings. Styles that can easily switch the style and look from work to home, day to night or casual to formal are in great demand. A detachable drop plays an important part to achieve this purpose. Reversible hinged hoops that are plain on one side and studded with diamond on the other, work well both in the office and for a night on the town.
