    As you shop for earrings, here are a few considerations to keep in mind.


    • Select earrings that highlight your face shape. Long, dangly earrings can help elongate round faces while hoops can add roundness to square face shapes.
    • Choose earrings for your hair length. If you have short hair or plan to wear it in an updo, all styles of earrings—from studs to chandelier earrings—will be visible, but for longer hair, long earrings like dangle earrings tend to pop more.
    • Choose earrings for the occasion. Need a subtle pair of earrings that still make a statement for your next business meeting? Consider classic styles like simple studs, hoops, or wispy threader earrings. Going out for a night on the town? Consider playing up your accessories with bold dangly or chandelier earrings. But no matter the occasion, choose the earrings that make you smile!

    The best care for your earrings can vary, depending on what they are made of, but experts typically recommend keeping them dry and clean, by wiping them clean with a soft polishing cloth. Many jewelry sellers on Etsy provide instructions on how to best care for the gold and silver jewelry you buy from them.
