Earring Jewelry

Let’s say Mother’s Day is around the corner, or your wife’s or sister’s birthday, or your wedding anniversary, and you’re stumped on gift ideas. Even if your female friend, relative, or companion is easy to shop for, finding that perfect present may still prove a challenge. You want to give something from the heart that best complements your loved one’s personality, and while jewelry is usually a safe bet the cost of some pieces in a chain store could prohibit you from wanting to browse possibilities.

With a gift like handcrafted earrings, however, you can’t go wrong. Whether they are pierced or clip-on, hand made earrings are eye-catching accessories that look great for any occasion. If you are able to connect with an artisan who specializes in creating custom jewelry, you have the opportunity to gift your loved one with a pair that is truly one of a kind.

Types of Handcrafted Earrings

As you search for different designs online or at craft fairs, you’ll notice that earrings often come in four types:

• Hoop style: This style is self-explanatory – wire hoops are shaped to fit the ear, and some pairs may be decorated with gemstones or Swarvoski beads for a bit of sparkle.
• Drop: Stone or metal charms hang from small chains or long, flexible wires. Drop earrings may fasten to the ear by posts or “hooks,” and all lend the wearer an exotic, elegant appearance.
• Post: A common style, these earrings consist of a design-a large gemstone or acrylic shape-affixed to a post.
• Clip-On: Similar to the post earring, only a clip is attached for people who don’t have pierced ears.

Where to Find Handcrafted Earrings Online

It isn’t difficult to buy earrings online if you know where to look. Auction and community sites like eBay and Etsy showcase handcrafted earrings by hobbyists and professional craftspeople, and with affordable hosting and e-commerce solutions available it’s easier for designers to set up their own unique shops. A thorough search through a major engine will yield hundreds of images to study while you decide which pair makes the best gift. Some independent jewelers and craftsman may even take custom commissions online, allowing you to design a pair according to birthstone or other favorite gems.

This year, consider buying handcrafted earrings for your sweetheart. You don’t have to wait for a special occasion. Surprise your loved one with an exclusive give from the heart.
