14k Rose Gold Chandelier Earring

You may have heard your friends talking about the new chandelier earrings they purchased and you may have asked yourself, " What is a chandelier earring?"

Chandelier earrings are typically long, ornate earrings that dangle from the ear. They tend to have several layers of decoration and depending on the style may have some elements that move independently when they dangle from the earlobes.

They attach to the ear much the same as any other earring. It can be a straight post that inserts through the piercing in the ear and is held in place with a backing. It may be a simple wire hook that goes through the earlobe and generally doesn't use any type of backing. The third manner of attachment is a clip-on earring which clips to the earlobe without utilizing the piercing. It is somewhat less common in a chandelier-style earring.

Chandelier earrings come in a large variety of styles. Some are very short and only extend just past the earlobe. Other styles are much longer and extend almost to the shoulder. They are designed to be very lightweight so that even when they are larger they won't stretch the earlobe or cause a tear in the piercing hole.

The materials used to create a pair of chandelier earrings vary widely and are only limited by the designers imagination. The "chandelier" portion of a chandelier earring can be made with precious or semi-precious gemstones that sparkles and catches the light, not unlike a real chandelier. While some chandelier earrings are made of diamonds or other, more expensive stones, other styles are made of lab-created gems. It is also popular to add glass or plastic beads, sequins, or even, in some instances, feathers to these earrings. Many earrings of this type add multiple colors of gemstones or beads

The base and the wire for attaching chandelier earrings will typically be made with hypoallergenic materials like sterling silver, gold or surgical-quality stainless steel, for those who may be prone to having an allergic reaction to more common metals.
