Almost each of us succumbed to a random impulse and immediately bought the thing that we liked the most - a handbag, shoes, a dress ... And, sometimes, only at home we notice that the new thing does not suit us at all or there is absolutely nothing to wear it with.
This is also true for precious items! No matter how delightful the ring looks in the window, no matter how shining the earrings are, their main purpose is to COMPLETE the appearance of their owner and EMPHASIZE her dignity. Simply put, the decoration must go.
In this regard, the opinion of British scientists from the University of Northumbria is interesting. The essence of the study: they invited men and asked them to watch the passing women. And then they asked what detail attracted their attention the most, what accessory caught their eye.
As a result, they refuted the established opinion that a woman in high heels is more likely to be noticed by the male sex. The subjects COULD NOT answer the question after the fact whether the woman they liked was wearing heels or without them. Those. they just didn't notice! An even more insignificant role of men was given to handbags. And women choose them, sometimes, very carefully.
According to the general opinion of the subjects, they draw a conclusion about the attractiveness of a woman based on her “general appearance”. And such an accessory as earrings plays one of the main roles in shaping the image of a woman. Brazilian designers say that leaving the house without them is like going out in front of people “naked”.
Small or large, they have hypnotic powers.
And it is very important not to make a mistake when choosing them. So…
What should you pay attention to when choosing gold earrings?
The information is relevant when choosing any earrings, not only gold ones. We weren't able to find all the photos in gold, but it is quite possible to form your own opinion on how this or that model will look on your face.
1. For age
Time does not stand still: yesterday you were a mischievous graduate in stud earrings, and today you are a mature female leader. Light youth earrings will look out of place on you. Give preference to more voluminous models, ideally with gemstone inserts.
And a teenage daughter will look vulgar in luxurious long earrings adorned with large stones. Better look for your young fashionista small earrings in the ear at Gold24.ru .
2. On the type of figure
Women with a slender and ascetic physique are advised to buy small and elegant gizmos; in voluminous, large accessories, it will seem even smaller.
The site shop-ultra.ru advises more complete women to give preference to massive products with large inserts. Wearing tiny and thin earrings, she visually enlarges herself. The contrast will be very strong.
3. On the shape of the face
There is only one secret here: the shape of the earrings should be opposite to the oval of the face. A round face should not look even rounder, a triangular face should not look sharper, and a square face should not look too heavy.
The division, of course, is purely conditional, but still:
a) the owners of an oval face can afford any earrings! The only exception is narrow elongated models, which can visually “stretch” the proportions. And this is absolutely not necessary!
b) the task of chubby girls is to visually reduce the volume of the cheeks, visually “stretching out” the face. This can be achieved with long pendants or geometrically clear models, for example, in the form of an inverted triangle or square shape. Long pendants will also be good, they will lengthen the face and bring its proportions closer to the ideal oval shape.
c) a triangular face will be brightened up by elongated earrings with a volume in the lower part or a round one, for example, Congo earrings. You may also like curved or curved earrings, such lines will balance the upper part of the face.
d) for a square face, you can safely choose oval, round or triangular earrings. Drop earrings are also appropriate. Your task is to soften the expressive outlines of the lower jaw and forehead, so the earrings should be longer than wide.
e) rectangular chin makes the face very heavy, rounded earrings, for example, drop earrings (by the way, they look very sexy because of the constant swaying), can level this drawback. Stud earrings are also able to shift the focus from overly large features.
Your task is to choose those earrings that will visually correct the shape of your face.
4. On the color of eyes, hair and skin (color type)
Paying attention to the color type is worth it only if you choose a piece of jewelry with an insert. Gold earrings without inserts will suit everyone.
For brown eyes, choose stones in warm reds and golds, as well as crystal, amber, and pearls. The look of brown eyes will become brighter if you wear earrings with bright colored stones.
Green eyes look advantageous with gems of greenish hues. Beryl, turquoise and malachite are your choice.
For blue-eyed girls, the site shop-ultra.ru advises stones of cornflower blue, azure, blue, purple colors - sapphire, turquoise, lapis lazuli, topaz, amethyst. By the principle of contrast, stones of a light orange and golden hue will also look great on you.
Any stones of cold tones, lilac and pink stones, such as tourmaline or amethyst, are combined with gray
Transparent minerals are the perfect solution, they look harmonious on any girl.
5. Other features of appearance
Not only the above nuances are fundamental when choosing earrings, also pay attention to the earlobe, neck length and your height.
If the earlobe is small, oblong-shaped earrings along the earlobe, without shine, will look good. On a large earlobe, it is better to wear flat-shaped earrings. On a thin earlobe, only miniature light earrings, such as cuffs or studs, look good. The latter are very delicate and never go out of style!
Women with a short neck should not buy long jewelry, it is better to opt for neat ear studs or earrings that do not extend beyond the earlobe. Similarly, long dangling earrings should not be worn by women of short stature.
Tall women with a long neck can experiment with jewelry of various shapes and lengths.
And finally, a few words about caring for gold jewelry.
To make the earrings sparkle with their beauty, follow a number of simple rules:
- avoid contact of gold with cosmetics, perfumes and detergents (stains may appear),
- take them off before visiting the bath and sauna,
- do not expose them for a long time under the direct Sun if the earrings are decorated with jewelry stones. This is especially true for earrings with topazes and amethysts (they can lose their brightness),
- wipe them from time to time with a soft cloth - microfiber, flannel, suede,
- timely remove various contaminants from gold and inserts, including soap deposits. This can be done by dipping the products in a homemade solution (a glass of water + a little soap + 5-10 drops of ammonia),
- freshly squeezed onion juice can return the shine to gold. Wipe the darkened product with a cut and rinse well with clean water after 2-3 hours.
- jewelers recommend at least once a year to bring gold jewelry for prevention. They will wash them with special jewelry cosmetics or in an ultrasonic bath (if possible, because such cleaning is contraindicated for some stones), check the reliability of the fasteners and fastening of the stones.
