Of all the jewelry styles for earrings, chandelier earrings are definitely the most romantic. Dangly and ornate, they are like tiny replicas of magnificent crystal chandeliers that adorn dining room mansions. They are a popular choice for the bride with an upswept hairstyle.
The multiple levels of chandelier earrings vary in length and style with some being long enough to just sweep the top of the shoulders. They are designed and made light so as not to tear the piercing hole in the earlobe. They are made from a variety of materials such as gold, silver and other metals. Many feature beautifully cut and polished jewels. Gold and diamonds have traditionally been popular for designers to fashion chandelier earrings. Other precious and semi-precious stones used include emeralds, tourmalines, and amethysts.
Chandelier earrings are a must-have for an elegant ball or party. Below are five lovely designs.
