Buying Tips for Gemstone Earrings

Earrings today are available in a variety of types, styles, and sizes. While this extensive selection means you’re sure to find a pair of earrings that’s just what you’re looking for, it can also mean that shopping for earrings can be confusing. Let us help you cut through the confusion with the following tips for selecting gemstone earrings.

Earrings and Color

Color is the most obvious attribute of gemstones and perhaps the easiest selection when it comes to choosing earrings. If you’re giving earrings as a gift, choosing a color that you know your recipient loves is a sure way to make the earrings a cherished gift. Not sure about what color gemstone is right? Earrings accentuated with nearly colorless gemstones, such as white topaz and crystal quartz, are a great option for versatility. You’ll be able to match these earrings with just about any outfit.

Styles of Earrings

Which style of earrings is the right choice depends upon where – and by whom – the earrings will be worn. Chandelier earrings, dangle earrings, and drop earrings are styles that can create a dramatic and glamorous look. Many women prefer to reserve these styles of earrings for more formal occasions. In fact, a particularly stunning pair of gemstone earrings can easily act as the focal point of a look for a big night out. Long earrings of these styles are an excellent choice for women with round face shapes. Hoop earrings and stud earrings are often well suited to long and square faces.

Metal Choices for Earrings

Earrings are available with gemstones set in a variety of metal types. From yellow and white gold to sterling silver, it’s generally simple to find earrings in the metal you prefer.

Once you’ve got an idea of the gemstone color, style of earrings, and metal type you’re looking for, it’s a lot of fun shopping for that perfect pair of gemstone earrings at Sam’s Club!
