Origin of Dangling Diamond Earrings

Let’s travel back in time and learn about the origin of these lovely earpieces. For over hundreds of decades, diamonds were used in jewelry, but were never incorporated into earrings until the late 2500 BC - 3000 BC. At that time, the diamond encrusted earrings were highly expensive and mostly affordable by only the wealthy and royal class. During Renaissance, women styled their hair in swept-up fashion, and showed off their earrings. Gradually, even noblemen wore pearl and diamond-crusted dangly earrings with the further evolution of fashion trends.

Today, dangling diamond earrings come in diverse styles, designs, and metals. With the advent of lab diamonds, these luxurious jewelry pieces have easily become a dream come true for the common people and are also worn by numerous celebrities at their weddings. Which is why they have been bestowed with the title of “Timeless Classics for Bridal Jewelry”. Owing to their sturdiness, diamonds represent eternal love and loyalty and dangling earrings symbolize elegance and charm - making a perfect combination for the new beginnings of life, like marriage.

How Dangling Earrings Rose to Popularity

Personalities from all spheres of life have succumbed to the charm of the dangling earrings. Celebrities prefer to grace red-carpet events with a pair of lab diamond studded earrings that swing as they move. These earrings also represent balance; their mobility being a distinctive feature symbolizing energy and sensuality.

How to Style Dangling Diamond Earrings

Face shape: Dangling diamond earrings are an ideal duo for you if you have a round face, as they make it look longer. That said, there's no hard & fast rule that only round-faced people can wear this iconic pair. It ultimately comes down to how you pair it with hairstyle, makeup, and clothes!

Hair: Consider tying your hair into a bun or give it a French twist. Dangling diamond earrings tend to catch more attention with tied up hair.

Bridal Gown: How you accessorize your bridal dress or gown will vastly depend on its neckline. Dangling diamond earrings and a necklace combine beautifully with a strapless gown or off-shoulder gown. Whereas dangling diamond earrings on their own look stunning with gowns that have boat neck, v-neck, high neck, or asymmetric necklines.

Makeup: These earrings will look stunning with a blush on your cheeks and a rich lipstick tinting your lips. You can experiment with your makeup to attain the desired subtle or bold look on the wedding day.

Things to Look For in Your Dangling Diamond Earrings

Quality: Diamonds used for earrings are likely to have minute flaws. This is because many craftsmen make this assumption that earrings will be tucked high up on the face and won't be subject to scrutiny. So always ensure that the design, metal polish, color & clarity of your diamond earrings are to your liking.

Metals: Platinum, rose gold, yellow gold, and gold are ideal bases for diamond earrings. Though everything boils down to your preferences and budget, you should avoid using sterling silver because it will neither exhibit the diamond’s shine, nor carry the weight of diamonds.

Diamond Cut: Cuts determine the stone's ability to reflect light. With the right cuts, you can achieve desirable results such as contrasting patterns and shine. Shapes can affect the reflection & sparkle of diamonds too, which is why some shapes are more costly than others.

Finding Your Ideal Dangling Diamond Earrings

Some earrings have a single metal band that extends past the earlobe, whereas others incorporate multiple bands to make intricate patterns. There are multiple metallic bases such as platinum and gold. These metals can be of different colors too.
