Diamond Drop Earrings from The Diamond Store.co.uk

Few fashion accessories make as much of an impact as earrings. They are one the earliest forms of jewellery with many elaborate earring styles found in the Egyptian King Tutankhamen’s gold encrusted tomb. Dainty diamond drop earrings add a subtle and romantic accent to any outfit. While longer and more dramatic styles like a multistrand drop that dangles in front and behind the ear are made for dressier occasions.  Diamond drop earrings frame the side of the face drawing attention to it,  and are a timeless piece of jewellery that can worn by women of all ages.

Over the last year chandelier earrings have literally swung to one side to make way for the more linear style of diamond drop earrings. While the chandeliers are still hanging on in there the new linear designs are plainer and a little longer.  The upside of this being that that you can have them shortened if your taste changes as many diamond drop earrings have loops in-between the gemstones that are not complicated to shorten.  If the diamonds are set on the currently popular single chain, it is just matter of cutting off however many links you want and re-attaching the chain to the loop in the earwire.

The most important factor with diamond drop earrings  is to follow whatever style works best for you. With advanced technologies the jewellery market now has more cuts and designs than ever. This in turn has brought costume jewellery right back into fashion. Diamond drop earrings can elongate your neck and face and make you look taller, but beware as styles that are too long can have the opposite effect. A safe length is just below your jawline.

Diamond drop earrings can be understated or ultra elegant and nowadays can be worn for all occasions. They come in all shapes and sizes ranging from single strands to the more elaborate boho chic styles.  They vary in weight depending on the total carat weight of the diamonds and the size of the mount.  The important thing is that they feel comfortable to wear and do not feel too long or heavy.
