What jewellery is best for earrings through the ages?

Earrings are one of the primary forms of jewellery found throughout history. These ornaments, worn to decorate the ears, were initially predominantly male adornments. Even 7,000 years ago, earrings were popular in ancient Asia. In ancient Egypt and Assyria, earrings indicated that the wearer belonged to the upper class. The term "earring" refers to jewellery or ornaments attached to the earlobes, and in the late 20th century, ear cuffs, worn on different parts of the ear, were also added to the earring category. Earrings have traditionally been worn as cultural symbols by various tribes to signify marital status, age, and rank. However, the primary function of earrings is to complement one's ears, as they are prominently placed near the face.

Since earring designs come in different shapes and designs, selecting the right kind depends on the face type:

Earrings for Round Face Women with round faces can elongate their faces by choosing long danglers, square, and oval-shaped earrings.

Earrings for Oval Face Women with oval-shaped faces can wear almost every style of earrings. However, they can create a particularly striking look by wearing danglers or studs.

Earrings for Square Face Women with square faces should choose oversized round earrings or large drops and danglers.

Earrings for Diamond Face Women with diamond-shaped faces should look for studs for office wear and lovely evening danglers.

Earrings for Rectangle Face For rectangular faces, small drops or chandelier earrings would be well-suited.

GIVA offers different styles of earrings, from simple studs to exclusive statement pieces, making it the preferred destination for customers to buy earring designs online.

Stud Earrings Stud earrings are one of the most popular and comfortable ways of wearing a pair of earrings. A stud earring features any gemstone or ornament design mounted on a post that passes through the earlobe and is then fixed with a screw from the back. Piercing is mandatory to wear stud earrings. Studs commonly come in the form of single gemstones like solitaires and diamonds, gemstones, or any motif. The diamond stud is perhaps the most classic, elegant, and versatile pair of earrings. Studs are the go-to earring for everyday wear. GIVA offers exclusive designs of studs for daily wear, office wear, or special occasions. One of the best pieces from the Studs Collection is "THE TAYLOR EARRINGS."

Drop Earrings Drop earrings attach to the earlobe with gemstones, pearls, diamonds, or any design motifs with chains that dangle down. Drop earrings vary in length from short to very long with different styles. They are also known as droplets and danglers, which include chandelier earrings and statement pieces. Chandelier earrings are mostly reserved for evenings or events, making a statement and finishing your look. GIVA has a wide range of drop earrings for office wear and special occasions.

Hoop Earrings Hoop earrings are always round or half-round shaped designs that look exactly like a ring. They usually have an opening where thin metal passes through the ear piercing with a locking system. Hoops are available in different styles and sizes, making them a classic style that never goes out of date. GIVA offers unique styles and exclusive designs to customers under the Hoops Collection.

Jhumka Earrings Jhumka Earrings Jhumkas are traditional earrings, ageless and perfect for special occasions. Indian wedding jewellery sets are incomplete without Jhumkas. Traditional Jhumkas usually come in circular, dome, or bell-shaped designs with filigree work and bigger studs. GIVA offers an exclusive Jhumkas collection called "Ethnic Charm" with traditional and fashion looks.

Sui Dhaga Earrings Sui Dhagas are very fashionable, unique, and perfect for any special occasion. Sui Dhaga is an ear string and thread-like chain, thin enough to slip into the ear hole and come back out as danglers. GIVA offers beautiful designs of Sui Dhaga earrings listed under the "Sui Dhaga Collection" with both traditional and contemporary designs.

Chandbali Earrings Chandbali earrings are popular with traditional designs inspired by the concept of the "Half-moon." They are considered statement pieces, as one can simply choose to wear a stunning pair of Chandbali earrings without any other jewellery. GIVA offers a wide range of earrings listed under the "Chand Bali Collection" with diamonds, precious stones, and pearls.

Onyx Back Earrings Onyx gemstones are believed to have protective powers and are considered the anniversary gemstone for the 10th year of marriage. GIVA offers unique styles under the "Onyx Back Earring Collection," where a dash of black onyx peeking from behind makes for a unique adornment for any special occasion. The products listed under this collection have a unique locking mechanism with the onyx having a hole drilled into it and the front part of the earring worn as a screw.

Front and Back Earrings GIVA offers exclusive pieces listed in the "Back it up Collection." The uniqueness of this collection is that the studs and danglers are detachable, allowing one to wear only the stud or along with the hanging for any special occasion.

Mismatch Earrings Mismatch earrings are among the latest trends. They are unique because both studs are non-identical. While a few design elements and themes remain the same, the colour, stone, and style will vary.

Earrings for Men Earrings for men can be traced back to African-American men who were first spotted wearing them. Men wearing a single stud earring on the left ear is a recent trend and has become an essential accessory, like a watch, to match the outfit. GIVA offers unique single stud earrings for men with plain gold and diamonds.
