A Sophisticated New Look With Dangle Earrings

Many people do not consider the dangle earring to be something to be worn by both men and women. A pair of dangle earrings is often more associated with being a female-only style of jewelry, worn for special occasions to add a touch of elegance, so they are great for weddings and other times when a woman wants to look elegant. For older men, a dangly earring is more of a fashion faux-pas, looking decidedly odd. But for younger men, it is a little more acceptable, especially if they belong to a youth subculture, for example if they are Goths.

You will be able to find different lengths of dangle earrings in the stores, with anything from the very short inch-long ones, to showpieces which are very elegant but which can reach almost to the top of your shoulders. Styles and designs are also varied, from cute and playful ones for younger girls, to more professional style ones for work, to almost ludicrously flamboyant ones you might see a celebrity wearing for a movie premiere.

Despite the fact that you will easily be spoilt for choice when shopping for a nice pair of this style of earrings, your first concern should be your health. Many types of cheaper jewelry contain nickel, so if you happen to have a metal allergy, this is something to avoid. Look for a pair which promises to be hypoallergenic or ‘nickel-free’, in order to avoid all that itchiness and other complications.

The next important thing to consider is the weight, especially true if you are shopping for dangle or chandelier earrings. You might feel you want to make a huge fashion statement with a giant pair of chandeliers, but unfortunately some of these styles of earrings can be so heavy that they cause problems. The main one is stretching the piercing holes on your earlobes, which is pretty ugly and often very painful too. So you will need to strike a balance, but always remember that if you have recently got your ears pierced that you must stick with simple studs for a while first. This will give you enough time to let them heal up properly before moving to heavier jewelry.

Despite needing to be a little careful, you will still be able to find a huge number of stunning and reasonably priced earrings in the stores, so you can add a little – or a lot of – glitter to your look.
