Chandelier earrings are those long, dangling earrings that you see adorning the ears of celebrities on the red carpet, so it’s no wonder they epitomize formality and class. Save your best pairs of chandelier earrings for formal events and dinners, or dare to wear a simple pair with an otherwise plain outfit during the day. Chandelier earrings show confidence and a good fashion sense when paired with the right outfit. Keep the clothes simple so you don’t overdo the look.

Any form of dangling earrings other than chandeliers can be dressed down to be not quite as formal. Be careful, though, as dangling earrings show movement, and movement in jewelry can be considered sensual. They are sexy and feminine, and can dress up just about any out-on-the-town outfit. Try to steer clear of wearing dangling earrings in professional settings, but if you do, pair them with a more casual outfit and a simple hairstyle, rather than something too dressy.

Earrings are often one of the first pieces of jewelry someone sees on another person. Choose earrings to go with your next outfit wisely, and be sure to visit J.M. Edwards Jewelry in Raleigh, NC the next time you need a classy pair of new earrings!
