Earrings are a very old piece of jewelry that has been worn since ancient times. They represent both a precious piece of jewelry and a stylish accessory. In practice, they can take different forms, from the exuberant pendant to the most discreet ear stud. Indeed, there are types of jewelry for all tastes and styles, as well as for all budgets. But ultimately, no matter its form, the goal of these ornaments is to elegantly dress a face and hair with precious jewelry.
EARRINGS FOR ALL WOMEN
Earrings are one of the essential pieces of jewelry owned by almost all women. A favorite piece of jewelry for great designers, earrings are worn on all occasions and are changed very frequently to effectively adapt to your outfits. Thus, it is common to own several pairs. From the exuberant long pendants set with fine stones, to the essential gold hoop earrings, to the practical vintage clips, not to mention the timeless diamond studs, a woman can be tempted by a whole collection of antique earrings with character!
THE PENDANTS
The pendant earrings are derived from the imposing 19th century girandoles that were very popular during the Napoleonic era. Long and voluminous, these frivolous earrings are terribly chic and bring an unprecedented touch of sophistication to evening wear. Luminous, these jewels capture the light as they swing with your movements. From the 20th century, the pendant earrings became more refined and it was the house of Cartier that then created the first platinum jewels, particularly resistant and fine, set with precious stones in a garland style very popular with elegant and daring women.
THE SLEEPERS
At the end of the 19th century, a more discreet type of earring entered the jewelry market. These were the precious sleepers. These slightly dangling earrings fit more discreetly around the earlobe than the girandoles and the pendant earrings, and were perfectly suited to the up-do hairstyles that were fashionable at the time. They were made of yellow gold, pink gold or white gold and were delightfully set with fine stones and diamonds. Antique sleepers were also frequently set with pearls, or even simply decorated with pretty chiseling.
EAR FLUCTUATIONS
Stud earrings, also called ear studs, are pieces of jewelry that appeared later in the history of jewelry. It was in fact around the middle of the 20th century that the first variations of this jewelry began to adorn jewelers' windows. Discreet, they were easy to match and women were then seduced by models adorned with colored stones, such as sapphires and emeralds, cultured pearls, or diamonds set with claw settings. Timeless, antique stud earrings were worn every day and quickly became an essential part of the bourgeois environment.
THE CLIPS
Born in the 1950s, ear clips have a definite advantage: they can be worn on an unpierced lobe. This piece of jewelry therefore allows you to do without the usual ear piercing. Clips are generally large pieces of jewelry that are very characteristic of an era. Their vintage look is highly sought-after today and can be adapted to many clothing styles. This piece of jewelry exists in a costume version or a precious version, i.e. made of gold plate or yellow gold set with colored stones or even diamonds.
