Earrings

I do not wear dangly earrings although I have a evening pair I wear on formal nights on cruise ships. My favourite pair of earrings are gold nuggets. Went to shop in South New Zealand in Yellowtown and the shop had gold nuggets that they make into earrings. You choose a pair of nuggets, they weigh them and tell you how much they cost. You put them back and get a lot smaller pair. These are then made into earrings.

I have a lovely set of pearl necklace and earrings from Dower and Hall, with blues and greys and a silver heart at the front. I feel guilty now, I haven't worn them recently.

I tend to wear either of 2 pairs of pearl studs, a black pearl pair and a very pale pink pair. I do have some short drops from Dower and Hall but only wear them occasionally.

I have 2 expensive pairs [pearls and diamonds] and I hardly dare wear them.

er -rings? ear -rings!

In the last year I have lost 3 ear-rings in the house[from different sets] very annoying.I favour studs more these days, certainly for during the day and have lots in different colours.I only wear [slightly] dangly in the evening for going out and also when I wear a dress.I think when you are young you can wear what you like, but pensioners in jeans and dangly er-rings isn't usually a good look.Just saying.

it is so annoying to lose one. I have lost a lovely earring, somewhere in the house. I know it will turn up eventually. Earrings are always an acceptable present for anyone who wears them. x

My DD gave me 9 pairs yesterday Brand new, in a presentation box. She had ordered them online in silver and they sent gold (not real silver and gold - just plated). She told them they had sent the wrong colour and they told her to keep them and they would send the correct ones. So I struck lucky, they are lovely.

I inherited a pair of diamond ones, but am petrified that I will lose them.

I do have a pair of black opal earrings, they were bought 19 years ago after I had my son, to go with my engagement ring, which is also black opal. They are very pretty, in the shape of a flower with a larger central stone surrounded by lots of little stones. The ring is the same, set in a gold filigree leafy band. I don't actually 'do' rings, earrings are my thing, but I think it is the most beautiful ring ever. (Only for me!) It's my birthstone, too. I did manage to find a pair of dangly moonstone earrings that looked almost identical, although they are set in silver, not gold.

Don't look at all the gorgeous earrings they sell, you will be here all night!

I wear earrings to match my outfit even if I am just doing the chores. As a hobby I make a lot of jewellery to give to charity so I have plenty of raw materials. I hate to see a naked pierced ear! I must admit I favour studs these days.

Pearl earrings go with most outfits, I have several pairs of studs of different sizes and a pair of pearl drops that my parents gave me. Amethysts are my favourite stones followed by blue topaz. Can't afford diamonds except the fake kind!

I love earrings, or my efalump keyrings as my dgd calls them!

When I'm being smart I wear pearl or diamond studs, but when I'm feeling giddy they're dangly.

Galen I love opals, what a lovely gift.

Diamond or pearl studs. Though I have one pair that are diamonds and pearls.
Looking at the moment for a pair of black opal ones to match the gorgeous ring my aunt has just given mr.

I have loads of earrings all shapes and sizes they are mainly very plain,I wear a classic pair of pearl studs everyday and for something special a glittery pair of large studs,I find dangley tend to get caught up in my hair and then there is a fight with them at a night time to get them out.

I've got more earrings than I care to think about [some of which I've never worn] but I end up wearing one of three sets, a black pair, an amethyst pair or an amber pair [the 1980's parrot ones are in a drawer somewhere; I refer to that as 'my Bet Lych period']. Because I tend not to wear them every day I do tend to struggle to put them in sometimes but find that putting a bit of vaseline on my earlobe helps.

Most of my earrings are dangley ones and I have lots and lots, though I tend to wear small hoops most of the time (and I do sleep in them). Was never able to wear clip-ons - they were so painful!

Jane those are lovely earrings (on the website). I can feel a spend-up coming on. I don't really count those as proper danglers (that weigh a ton).

I have my mother's earrings from the 50s but they are clip on.

I can remember wearing those when I was much younger and having to take them off every few hours because they were pinching.

As for current fashion - I never did throw out my eighties earrings. Some of the less flamboyant ones are perfect for now. I saw some on eBay advertised as 50s - no they weren't, I remember buying them in 1990!

Is it? That's good, I'm not with it today. Yes, they are all very individual and often they are the only pair like it, so no worries that you have picked up a pretty pair from the carousel at Sainsbury's and your friend has the same set! Or Pia, whose earrings are roughly the same price.

I wish the necklaces were a little longer, but I have solved that with necklace extensions.

It's more or less the same earrings on both links janerowena. They're lovely aren't they and relatively inexpensive.

I wear glasses when I am singing, and I know what you mean, I am very careful which glasses and which earrings I wear. I don't have to worry about the tiara though. Not for lack of trying, but he wouldn't buy me one when they were in fashion!

Oops - wrong link.

I like Plumo, too! Also Pia.

I have an earring fetish. He is threatening to buy a cupboard just for earrings. I even have a special going-away earring travelling case that holds 32 pairs!

I'll have a look at that site in a minute.

I wonder if whether or not one wears glasses makes a difference.

I saw a pic of the Queen once, glasses, crown and earrings and it looked very cluttered.

Danglers or studs, I wear either quite happily depending on what I am wearing and how I have my hair - which is quite long and curly, so I need fairly large earrings when it is down otherwise they don't get seen!

'Austere' earrings are for going shopping in. What I think of as functional, everyday jewellery, usually silver. In the evenings I like quite colourful matching earring and necklace sets, maybe murano glass, although I also wear them if I am going out for a nice lunch or something.

DBH buys me a set from here for xmas every now and then. So not too dangly.
