EARRINGS

A woman’s face is the first thing you recognize upon meeting her, and there is no jewelry that frames the face quite like a pair of earrings. Earring jewelry is in plain view for everyone to see and widely noticed, so it understandable how a woman’s earrings can influence a first impression.

Earrings can match the mood of a moment, and may even add to it. This statement may seem a bit drastic, but it is true. A woman wearing simple pearl earrings or diamond stud earrings will present a more conservative character, whereas a person wearing long gold dangle earrings or tassel earrings will introduce more movement, and provide a fun distraction.

Large gemstone earrings and cluster earrings are often considered more formal, while large gold hoop earrings are viewed more as fun and free spirited. Gemstone and colored stone earrings can liven up a wardrobe or compliment the colors of a day’s outfit.

Women have a need for a wide variety of earring styles in order to meet life’s different occasions. Someone working in an office may benefit from conservative button earrings, simple hoop earrings, or maybe a pair of gold huggies. After work she may loosen up and throw on her gold hoops, drop earrings, or a fun dangle earring. On a Saturday night out she may be seen wearing her sapphire earrings surrounded by diamonds, or perhaps a dramatic gemstone earring design that matches the colors of her elegant evening wear.

At Jewelry Designs we feature a variety of earring styles that will meet your every occasion. Our showroom is full of high fashion earrings in gold, platinum, diamonds, and precious stones. You will see a diverse selection of white gold earrings, platinum earrings, and yellow gold earrings on display, in 14k and 18k gold in our elegant jewelry store in Danbury.

GOLD EARRINGS

There are few jewelry items that are more prominent than beautiful gold earrings. Solid gold earrings have been worn since early history. Having stood the test of time, the gold earring remains a part of everyday fashion throughout our culture for both men and women.

You may have heard the phrase “I feel naked without them” coming from a woman who forgot to put on her earrings that morning. Gold earrings have become everyday wear for most Americans. Many young girls start wearing gold studs as infants. Gold pierced earring styles can be seen on nearly every woman at home, work, and at social functions. Throughout the early 1900’s gold earring wear was limited to women. However, over the past several decades earrings for men have become increasingly accepted, and men’s gold earring have since become more popular than ever.

Perhaps the most well-known and popular earring throughout history is the gold hoop earring. Gold hoop earrings are available in nearly every shape and size. From wide gold hoop earrings, to large radius gold earring hoops, it seems that the only limit to a woman’s gold hoop earring size is that her ear will be able to support it and that they will dangle above her shoulder.

Gold button earrings, dome earrings, knot style earrings, and ball earrings are also very popular. Gold post earrings that lay directly on the lobe are comfortable and easy to wear on an everyday basis. Gold dangle earrings provide motion and attract many glances achieving a livelier look. It seems gold dangles come in just as many variations of shapes and sizes as gold hoop earring designs do. Dangle earrings are also available in themes, from flower earrings, to earrings of favorite pets and animals. So whether they are butterfly earrings or dangling gold cross earrings, gold drop earrings can make just as much of a fashion statement as any other piece of jewelry.

SAPPHIRE EARRINGS

Sapphire earrings are the most sought after of all of precious gem earrings. This glistening gem can be found as simple as a sapphire stud, and as dramatic as a breathtaking sapphire and diamond earring that dangle just above the shoulder. Rich blue sapphires are coveted by woman in all social circles.

The popularity of sapphire earrings is to be expected. The rich cobalt blue that a sapphire is associated with is a favorite color to many women. The rich deep color of this gem paired with brilliant white diamonds is very dramatic. There is no end to the compliments that will be paid to the wearer of elegant diamond sapphire earrings during an evening out. Case in point, the “Lady Di Earring” is a world-renowned classic; this stunning sapphire diamond earring rests on the lobe, consisting of a simple oval sapphire surrounded by smaller diamonds.

Sapphire diamond earrings can be worn as white gold sapphire diamond hoops with dramatic circles of alternating stones, or as pave diamond sapphire hoops with dramatic contrasting colors. Sapphire dangle earrings achieve an even more noticeable look, as they dance in the light with every motion.

The traditional blue sapphire earring is most well known, however in recent years, pink sapphire earrings and golden sapphire earrings have become increasingly popular. The sapphire is one of the few gemstones available in a rainbow of colors, and sapphire earrings make it possible to own a precious stone earring in every shade except for red, as red sapphires are actually rubies.

RUBY EARRINGS

Ruby earrings in brilliant true red colors are a breathtaking addition to any woman’s jewelry collection. Rubies have become the most valuable of all well-known traditional gemstones. It is a wonder of nature to find a bright red ruby, and it is an even greater wonder to find two that match for a pair of fine ruby earrings.

The tone and color of ruby earrings varies from orange tones, through pink and burgundy tones, with the most desirable color of ruby earrings exhibiting true red. Of course, the rarest ruby earrings you can own are Burmese ruby earrings of all natural origin.

The value of fine ruby dictates whether or not it deserves to be accented with diamonds. Ruby and diamond earrings are most often set together in order to accentuate the vivid reds present in a ruby gemstone. Ruby diamond earrings will often be set as clusters, or as contrasting pave ruby diamond earring designs. For a more dramatic look, ruby dangle earrings and ruby hoop earring designs provide a lot of motion, drawing the attention of admirers everywhere.

Today, most ruby earrings consist of quantities of smaller rubies intermingled with white diamonds to dramatize their color. The exception seems to be the classic ruby stud earring for those who have long planned on procuring a larger stone ruby earring. Whatever your taste in rubies you will find examples of them all at Jewelry Designs.

In our elegant jewelry store you will see ruby earrings ranging from simple ruby studs and ruby cluster earrings, to dramatic ruby drop earrings. In addition to all of the ruby hoops and diamond ruby earring designs on display, Jewelry Designs has a collection of loose rubies for you to choose from. Virtually any ruby earring combination can be made for you by one of our custom jewelry specialists.

EMERALD EARRINGS

For those who have seen fine emerald earrings, there is no doubt that the emerald gemstone is mystifying. The emerald is the only stone where the internal characteristics, or flaws, are held in comparison to a “garden” of sorts. Perfectly clear emerald earrings are extremely rare and almost nonexistent. Emerald earrings can range in color from a forest green, to a glistening blue tinted green, seen in Columbian emerald earrings. An emerald earring can be virtually any shade of green.

To truly enhance fine emeralds, these gemstones are best set as emerald diamond earrings. The rich color of emeralds is best dramatized by groups of diamonds surrounding it. Both yellow gold emerald earrings and white gold emerald earrings are commonly worn by today’s fashion connoisseurs.

In the Jewelry Designs gallery you will see simple emerald studs. Choose between diamond emerald earrings that lie close to the ear, or emerald diamond hoops and drop emerald earrings that dangle from the ear. At jewelry Designs any of our gemstone earrings can be created with an emerald, so your options are limitless. Along with the diamond emerald earrings in our showroom, we have an extensive collection of loose emeralds and precious gems for you to choose from.

So if you are looking for green in its most precious form, visit our elegant jewelry store in Western Connecticut located on the New York State line. We will show you our exclusive line of designer jewelry and emerald and diamond earrings that will delight even the most discerning customer.
