Chandelier Earring Tips

By CountryDutchess.com

They're big, they're bold, and they're hard to miss! They're chandelier earrings and they're here to stay!

And whether it's with jeans and a peasant top or that little black dress and stilettos, chandelier earrings can turn any outfit into instant trendy chic - even take you from day to night with just the flick of some crystal!

And indeed, chandelier earrings are what you wear if you want to make a fashion statement!

Unfortunately, if don't wear your chandelier earrings in quite the right way, your fashion statement could be "I'm fashion clueless" !
Well, we don't want that to happen! So we asked our designers to come up with a few guidelines for making the best possible fashion statement with your chandelier earrings!
How To Wear A Chandelier Earring
1. Keep other jewelry to a minimum. And we do mean minimum! If you wear a necklace, limit it to a thin chain with no more than a small pendant. You can add a couple of bangles and maybe a ring - but you want the earrings to do all the work - so don't distract the eye with other baubles!
2. Chandelier earrings look best with simple outfits - like that little black dress or pantsuit or even jeans and a tee. If your clothing is garnished with lots of sequins, sparkles or other embellishments there's just too much going on for a chandelier earring to take center stage. You would do much better with a smaller dangle earring - like a small CZ drop style.

3. If your chandelier earring features colored beads or stones, choose one other accessory in that same color - and no more than two. If your chandelier earrings are red, for example, you can choose a red bag and red shoes - or red shoes and red belt - but not all three. Again, you want to keep the focus on the earrings.

4. Chandelier earrings look best when there's not a lot competing for attention - so try to keep necklines lower than your collar bone. The other option is to wear them with a solid color turtleneck to act as a "frame" for the earring. Neutral colors such as black, white, cream, tan, plum or navy form the most attractive frame for most colorful chandelier earring styles.

5. Put on your chandelier earrings before you put on your make-up. More so than any other style of jewelry, earrings are right next to your face, so it's almost like they are part of your cosmetic look. When the earring is large and colorful, it's even more noticeable. And that means you might want to tone down the glittery eye shadow or sparkly blush and opt for a cleaner simpler look. Having your earrings on while you apply your make up will help you build a total look without overdoing it.

6. Scale down your other accessories. If you're wearing a chandelier earring, skip the "statement bag" or "statement belt". You only need one outstanding accessory per outfit - so let your earrings shine!
