If there’s one thing no girl should ever leave home without, it’s handmade silver earrings. Many of us began dreaming about handmade silver earrings as young girls, pleading and bargaining with our parents until they agreed to let us pierce our ears. Yet as adults, many of us may wear them almost as an afterthought. That’s a shame, because handmade silver earrings may be the most crucial item in our wardrobe. Earrings may no longer symbolize religious beliefs or wealth, as they did in past ages, but they still give a hint to our personality – or, at the very least, to our mood. We can and should use handmade silver earrings to project any image we choose like – or even to change our image multiple times a day.
To focus all eyes on your face and what it conveys, choose handmade silver earrings with care. Here’s a short guide to the language of handmade silver earrings.
If you want to project confidence and self-reliance, you’ll want to choose stud earrings. This type of handmade silver earring bespeaks elegance and tradition, good taste and gentility. It says that propriety is important to you, and that you have a sense of proportion and control – of your feelings, as well as of any situation.
If you’re more the extrovert, one who loves to have a good time, you’ll do well to focus on chandelier earrings – that is, handmade silver earrings that just drip with gemstones or silver beads. They transmit your sense of fun and flirtiness, and will draw all eyes to you – just as you’d like.
If you’re a “people person”, someone who is into “connecting”, who loves to communicate and is open-minded, then the earring for you is a chandelier or dangling handmade silver earring with pendants and charms. Such handmade silver earrings are sure conversation-starters.
If you’re a tranquil, easy-going sort, not too conservative but not too daring, you’ll do well to choose handmade silver earrings that dangle straight down. They project your simplicity and directness, and your ability to see the good side of things and people and face life head-on.
If you’re an optimist – but also a hopeless romantic; a friendly sort, but one who needs stability, then hoops are the handmade silver earrings for you. Choose smaller hoops if you want to emphasise the fidelity and loyalty within your romantic soul, and larger hoops if you’re looking for romance on the fly.
Lastly, if you’re a bit of a wild child, a punk princess, then earrings that hug the rim of the ear or adorn places other than the lobe are right for you. To get across your adventuresome, risk-taking passion for life, choose handmade silver earrings for targus, anti-targus, cartilage and other non-conformist, non-standard piercings.
Whichever handmade silver earrings best project who you are, remember to stick with Sterling silver: it’s always in fashion, always affordable, and always safe.
