Diamond Chandelier Earrings from The Diamond Store.co.uk

Diamond chandelier earrings look fabulous worn formally with you hair up and a low neckline as they emphasise your neck and shoulders.  Or they look just as good dangling and tangled in your hair with a long flowing skirt for the boho look.   These earrings are made up from several tiers cascading with diamonds that are wider at the bottom than the top.  They are elegant and sexy and add a touch of glamour to any outfit. 

The idea for chandelier earrings can be traced back to the Art Deco period in the 1930s as there was a Spanish influence during that time with shapes and designs relating to curvy Indian and Moroccan architecture with diamonds set like the roof skylines. 

Chandelier earrings are real head turners and have recently been seen hanging from the ears of a whole range of Hollywood celebrities from Jennifer Lopez to Nicole Kidman to Natalie Portman to Renee Zellweger.

Harry Winston is the jeweller in Hollywood who is responsible for supplying the fabulous pieces of jewellery which the glitterati model as they walk along the red carpet for ceremonies like the Oscars.  His global director of communications, Carol Brodie, has recently been quoted as saying that these big, shoulder grazing diamond chandelier earrings will continue to be in vogue again next year.  This is surprising as the celebrity trend cycle spins at an alarming speed and they do not like to be photographed wearing the same fashions more than once.  The attraction of these earrings is that that they are glamorous and fun, and even if you are having a bad hair day you will look like a movie star when you wear them.

Crystal maker Swarowski are predicting the bigger the better, and the jewellery design director of Banana Republic loves wearing diamond chandelier earrings with a turtleneck sweater as they are very theatrical and a sweater acts as a perfect backdrop for them.
