Consider the Options for Spring

1. Pick earrings for spring that are made from materials that are sturdy enough to withstand a more active lifestyle. A base metal of sterling silver or gold should be good for any activity.

2. Choose colors that complement your spring wardrobe. Earrings are available in traditional soft spring colors such as blue, pink, green and yellow.

3. Stay current with the latest trend in spring fashion colors and pick up a pair of earrings to match. These trends change from year to year.

4. Wear small hoop earrings or light-colored gemstone studs for daytime activities. Stay in fashion while participating in your favorite sport or activity. Additionally, small hoops and studs are office-appropriate, making them day-to-night versatile.

5. Celebrate the nights in spring when you pick earrings that dangle and shimmer. Glass beads, crystal and cubic zirconia give a dimension of glamour in a variety of colors.

6. Buy chandelier earrings for stepping out in style at any spring event. Chandelier designs are available in low-cost sterling silver and glass beads to high-end diamond and precious stone adornments.

7. Get a springtime look when you match your earrings to the color of your eyes. Matching your eyes and skin tone should be considered as important as matching your outfit.

Design Drop Earrings

8. Determine the color of earrings to create.

9. Purchase the head pins, wires and beads in your choice of colors and sizes.

10. Choose head pins in the length of earring you desire. Head pins are flat on the bottom, which keeps the drops securely in place.

11. Alternate colored beads and spacer beads in different sizes to make your earrings unique.

12. Bend the head pin with a pair of round-nose pliers to complete a loop to attach the wires. Wires are made in many colors, including brass, steel, silver-plated and gold-filled.

Tips & Warnings

• Pick a size and design of earring that complements the shape of your face. For instance, just about any shape of earring works well with an oval face, while round faces may need longer earrings to slim down the shape.
• The shape of the ear and the hairstyle will affect the choice of earring.
• Avoid earrings with nickel-based alloys if you're allergic to nickel. Hypoallergenic earrings made of titanium are an alternate choice.
