A woman always tried to decorate herself and attract more attention of the opposite sex. A variety of means were used for this, and jewelry was a wonderful combination of business with pleasure. It is believed that the gold earring in the ear is an exclusively feminine jewelry, but this is not entirely true. To understand this, you need to look into the history of this product.
The story of one earring
Oddly enough, but the gold earring has long been considered a purely masculine jewelry. At different times and in different parts of the world, this product could tell a lot about its owner. For example, in Egypt, one earring in the ear spoke of the high status of a man. In eastern countries, a silver or gold earring was encrusted with precious stones and again indicated a high position in society. A copper earring in an ear in Russia meant that you were a serf, but earrings made of precious metal, on the contrary, spoke of the high rank of the one who wears them. And only in the XVI-XVII centuries this jewelry began to belong to the female half of humanity.
Gold earrings in modern times
Today, earrings are perhaps the most popular type of jewelry among women. For the fair sex, this is a way to draw attention to your face and even, possibly, visually correct any of its shortcomings. Jewelers are pleased to offer women a huge assortment of gold earrings, suitable for any image, style, mood of its owner.
Earrings classification
Conventionally, all gold earrings can be divided into groups according to the type of clasps:
- stud earrings (otherwise they are called "cloves");
- earrings with a pendant element;
- classic earrings with an English clasp;
- earrings on a fastener "loop";
- clip earrings.
If we talk about the presence of inserts, then a gold earring can be:
- without insertion;
- with cubic zirconias;
- with precious stones (diamonds, emerald, sapphire and ruby);
- with semiprecious stones (all quartz, organic stones, as well as ornamental rocks).
Classic gold earrings and earrings with cubic zirconias
This is the most inexpensive option, which is especially popular among young people. Jewelry without inserts can be diamond-treated, which gives the product a greater shine. Cubic zirconias are more often framed in a "diamond cut". This method helps cubic zirconia to "catch" a greater number of rays of light, which provides a magnificent sparkle decoration.
Gemstone Earrings
This group includes stones such as topaz, amethyst, aquamarine, pearls, coral, amber, chrysolite and many, many others. Choosing such jewelry should be based on your color type. So, for example, gold earrings with amethyst (lilac stone) are more suitable for girls with dark eyes and dark skin. Blue topaz perfectly emphasizes the beauty and depth of the gray or blue eyes of a white-skinned beauty. But earrings with chrysolite or chrysoprase will become the best friends of the swarthy owner of green or brown eyes. Gold earrings with pearls (representative of the class of organic stones) are considered the best decoration of the bride. It is white pearls that can emphasize the beauty, tenderness and innocence of any bride.
Jewelry earrings with diamond
Diamond is a classic of the genre, this stone is to face everyone. Today in jewelry shop windows you can increasingly find earrings and other diamond products made in white gold. It so happened that a transparent, purest diamond in a white frame looks much more advantageous due to the fact that the stone seems to be much larger than it actually is. However, such jewelry has a very impressive cost.
