Material
- Gold. One of the most popular metals that is well tolerated by the body. Yellow gold is considered a classic, it suits girls with a warm color type. However, its popularity has declined recently. Modern girls tend to prefer white gold.
The main drawback of gold is its high cost, which not everyone can afford.
- Silver. It is a hypoallergenic metal with a noble luster and a silvery shade. White metal should be chosen by girls with a cold color type. New silver earrings are almost indistinguishable from white gold jewelry unless you are a jeweler.
The low cost of silver earrings allows you to have several pairs for all occasions.
- Of steel. Medical steel is also hypoallergenic, outwardly very similar to silver. At the same time, the cost is much lower, therefore, high-quality costume jewelry is often made from it. Its only drawback (if it can be considered as such) is that such a metal does not carry any value, in contrast to the precious one.
- Made of polymer clay. Earrings and other jewelry made from this material are very popular. Anything can be created from clay; earrings with "edible" elements are popular among young girls: pieces of cake, cakes, sweets, muffins. Fruits, animals, birds look interesting.
Older girls prefer floral motifs, balls of roses and other flowers look especially beautiful. Such studs are worn mainly in summer, when you want something bright and light.
For women of elegant age, such jewelry is unlikely to suit; it is better for them to give preference to traditional metals.
Colour
The color of the metal you choose should match your skin tone. If you have golden or dark skin, go for gold or bronze.
If your skin has a cold undertone, silver, platinum, white gold will suit you. White metals will refresh the complexion.
When choosing studs with inserts, pay attention to how they are in harmony with the color of your eyes.
Light sparkling stones are suitable for blue-eyed ones. Turquoise, lapis lazuli, black agate, sapphire will favorably emphasize their color.
Emerald, malachite or agate are suitable for gray-green, thanks to which the eyes will shine.
If you have dark brown eyes, go for a carnation with rich stones. Amethysts, rubies, garnets, corals will look good.
If you want to play with contrast, give preference to white stones - pearls, cubic zirconia, diamonds.
How to put on and take off?
There are usually two types of stud earrings that have problems.
Modern studs often have a thread on the pin, onto which the clamp is screwed. The first time you may have difficulties, in fact, everything is very simple. Slide the earring into your ear and tighten the clip in the same way as a screw. The earring will stay securely in your ear.
In salons, when piercing the ear, they usually put pusts made of medical steel. They have pretty tight locks, and when it comes time to take them off, not everyone can handle them.
The easiest and most common method involves the use of long-ended nail scissors.Insert the ends of the millet from the clip ring and pull towards you. This usually helps to remove the earring, but if you still run into difficulties, go to the salon where your ears were pierced.
