Cool Earrings for Men

Filed under Men's Jewelry no comments

Cool earrings for men make a dramatic fashion statement and are available in a multitude of styles in all price ranges. Men’s earrings are taking the fashion world by storm, with celebrities like movie stars and sports greats, and other cutting-edge fashionistas likely sporting one or a pair of trendy earrings. Ultra cool bling for men, earrings range from extravagant $5,000 diamond-encrusted studs to relatively reasonably priced cubic zirconias and Swarovski crystal. Diamonds and diamond look-alike earrings take center stage and shine with an undeniably masculine sparkle!

Like women’s earring styles, the sky is the limit with men’s earrings, too! If you have the panache to carry it off, there is no style too bold or daring. Like everything else in the world of fashion, there are style faux pas. For example, if you are wondering what style earrings go with long wavy hair for a guy, it’s a matter of personal choice. Long dangling earrings, however, can look rather messy entangled in curly or wavy long locks. Choose a nice stud style with or without a stone or embossed design to complete your look. These simple styles work best and complement long or short, wavy and curly, or straight hair. If you like a drop style, choose a hoop and arrowhead drop like the Gloffin at Chainz.com.

Shopping for Cool Earrings for Men

There are many online jewelry boutiques catering exclusively to men. When browsing through a virtual store watch for the phrase NOT in pairs to be sure whether you will be purchasing one or two earrings. Even though the product image may show two earrings, they may be two separate views and not be sold in pairs. Look for reputable shops storefront and online which offer a wide range of high quality jewelry and warranties on high end items.

Sizes and Popular Choices for Men’s Earrings

Men’s earrings are meant to be fairly flush to the ear rather than protruding like a woman’s earring. The idea is for the earring to be subtle yet arresting. Many designers of men’s earrings make this distinction while lower end earrings will be set the same for both men and women.

The size of stud or hoop you choose is a matter of personal preference, but again taking subtlety into consideration, the size of your round or square stud should be in proportion to your ear lobe. If you try a variety of sizes you will soon see how the correct size for your ear (or ears) becomes obvious.

Men’s earrings come in all shapes and sizes and popular gemstones are black onyx, diamonds and diamond simulants like CZ’s, [tag]Swarovski[/tag] crystals in many colors, red garnet, turquoise, and many other gemstones set in sterling silver, 14 karat white or yellow gold, titanium, and stainless steel in either shiny, burnished, or matte finishes.

Another option is custom earrings commissioned and handcrafted by a silversmith or goldsmith which may be engraved, embossed, or customized to your exact specifications.
