Change your earring-wearing habits to give your ears a much-needed feeling of relief.

Throughout the ages, both men and women wore earrings to represent beauty, wealth and status. Nowadays, earrings are fashion accessories that can be the finishing touch to your look.

White gold is not a naturally occurring metal. Rather, it's an alloy or mixture of yellow gold with a silvery metal, such as nickel. Since white gold rings tarnish eventually, some owners of white gold jewelry turn to rhodium plating to restore the whiteness. However, rhodium is expensive. Palladium -- a member of the platinum family -- is a silvery element that adds durability and shine to white gold rings and is less expensive than rhodium. You can reset a tarnished white gold ring in palladium plating so that the brightness of the white gold is restored.

But unlike other fixtures, pendants can be grouped or divided to provide just the right balance of light.

An adjustable ring usually has an open end that allows the ring to be pressed to fit the size of the finger. The opening can be exposed and centered at the back of the ring or hidden under the setting mount. Some ring designs use a slide-past technique to hide the opening.
