Costume jewellery:3 styles of earrings you absolutely must own

Hoops, queens of costume jewelry

Favorite earrings of the French, the creoles are also perceived as the most feminine. Jewelery or costume jewelry versions, everything is possible for these ear rings:miniature, the creoles are discreet, even combined with several on the same lobe. Medium sized ? They play on subtle femininity, perfect for a strict dressing code at the office or a day of relaxation. As for the oversized hoops, they can be worn in a sporty version with a relaxed silhouette, or ultra-feminine with an evening dress!

To choose your earrings, adapt the size of the hoop earrings to your face type. Prefer elongated hoops for a round face, round for a square face and small size with a short face. With a short cut, on the other hand, or an elongated face, dare the big models! Watch the closures of your costume jewellery, some systems being more resistant than others:if you tend to lose them, opt for sleeper or chip fasteners. If you don't have pierced ears, choose clips.

The essential dangling earrings

Brushing the face with every movement and elongating the neck, dangling earrings are the elegant costume jewellery. The principle ? A clip holding one or more chains, to which are attached rhinestones, beads, charms, feathers and many others. Feminine models, also used in jewelry to simply highlight precious stones.

Beware of pendants that are too heavy, which could deform the lobes of pierced ears. Clip-on earrings, on the other hand, tend to fall off, or worse, make you suffer! Also prefer a length adapted to your face… by reserving long models for short faces, and vice versa. The perfect length? The one that balances your face, without ever exceeding the jawline. As for the shape of the pendant, opt for balls on square faces, clean lines for round faces. Avoid this type of curls with octagonal faces... and prefer chains without pendants at the end, for a rectangular face.

Stud earrings, a costume jewel to decline

Small, cute, stud earrings are miniature earrings. Their advantage? These fancy jewels are so discreet that they allow all the follies, in shape as in color! Simple rhinestones or real pearl, silver bow or neon virus, each has its own look for a subtle glow, illuminating the complexion and awakening the look without changing the proportions of the face.

Before choosing studs, make sure you are not prone to allergies:these earrings being smaller, they are easily worn for several days in a row, or even kept overnight. If this is your case, choose a quality metal, gold or silver, and regularly disinfect pierced ears. All that remains is to choose the style, fancy or classic!
