Sometimes stud earrings are perfect for the occasion, with their simplicity, but sometimes you want something a little more elaborate, and that’s where earring jackets come in. Earring jackets are decorative pieces of jewelry that are held onto the ear by a stud earring. They have a hole in the center for the stud to be placed through, and can come in two main styles – shield style, and those that dangle.
Diamond Earring Jackets
Earring jackets for diamond studs are amongst the most elegant available. While a single diamond is quite beautiful on its own, nesting it in a shield-style diamond earring jacket multiplies this beauty. Adding diamond dangle jackets brings an entirely new look to your favorite pair of diamond stud earrings. The dangles can be made of solid precious metals, or they can include more diamonds, making them a truly stunning addition.
Gold Earring Jackets
If you don’t want to add extra diamonds to your earrings, you can always go with a pair of gold, or white gold earring jackets. These add some additional flare to any studs, and are perfect for any occasion.
Pearl Earring Jackets
While single pearl studs look incredible, you can get jackets for pearl earrings as well. With pearls, you can use any of the previously mentioned styles of jackets, or you can add on earring jackets with pearls as well. Pearl dangle jackets also look great with diamond studs, and similarly pearls look great nestled in a diamond jacket. Such jackets have a rounded out shape to them to accommodate the shape of a pearl.
Silver Earring Jackets
Silver is gold’s less expensive cousin. Paired with cz, or cubic zirconia, silver earring jackets look just as beautiful as the more expensive versions, with a significantly lower price tag. Whichever style you go with, earring jackets are a great addition to stud earrings for women.
