Modern Ear Piercing Ideas

The piercing of ears actually began a long time ago in multiple cultures. Yet, they were not fully accepted by modern society until relatively recently. Since the most sensitive ears can become pierced these days, the various styles of earrings have completely boomed in order to meet everyone's personal fashion needs.

Beginning pairs of earrings for those who have just recently had their ears pierced and for individuals who have multiple piercings within a small area of space along their ear lobes or a restricted area along the outer cartilage tend to be small in size themselves and are generally known as studs. If you are one of this group of people, you should not fear a lack of variety in earrings choice. Elegantly cut precious gemstone earrings in many different shapes (circular, square, teardrop, etc) act as the perfect accessory to add shimmer to your ears without having to give up additional space for larger earrings. Diamonds are some of the most popular gems for these solitary studs, whether the normal clear color stone or the now much loved colored ones such as yellow diamonds, pink diamonds, or even black diamonds. Larger studs that are composed of multiple diamonds, called diamond cluster earrings, can also be exquisitely beautiful. Studs created with precious metals such as silver or gold but without the presence of gems are also popular in their own way as long as they follow lovely shapes. The most common shapes right now are flower earrings and especially heart earrings of course.

If you have had your ears pierced for an extended amount of time, you might want something a bit larger than a simple stud in your only or primary lobe piercing. This group would most likely love to have a pair of dangling earrings-whether made of silver, white gold, or yellow gold for the primary hanging structure. Chandelier earrings which feature a delicate structure with a smaller top side that expands in width as it hangs with multiple connections that are held together with precious or semiprecious gemstones are a lovely accessory for when you are wearing your hair up and away from your ears since locks of hair have a tendency to get caught in these types of earrings very easily. Normal dangling earrings which hang straight down without the extensive width of most chandelier types are more suitable if you want to wear your hair along the sides of your face and head though.
