Dangling earrings

Among the jewelry earrings occupy almost the first place in popularity, and elongated models, commonly referred to as “pendants” are considered an attribute of exclusively ladies' collections and are distinguished by a variety of shapes, designs and stylistic orientation.

Earrings hanging are a symbol of femininity, although the accessory was originally intended for men. Their first production was established seven thousand years ago in Asian countries, as well as in Egypt, Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. Moreover, if the Egyptians earrings meant a high social status, then among the Romans it was the identification mark of a slave, and among the inhabitants of Greece - the representatives of the oldest profession.

In the epoch of the Middle Ages, the fashion for earrings either gained momentum or was subjected to sharp criticism from the clergy. In the end, the topic of the controversial accessory was tired of exaggerating and let things slip by. Earrings have become part of everyday life and have become one of the favorite jewels of wealthy, wealthy women.

To date, all brands that specialize in jewelry, include earrings in their collections. Gold, silver, with pebbles, with engraving - any fashionista can find a model that meets her taste preferences.

Depending on the shape of the product, earrings can be divided into two types: solid-cast and composite.

The color of the stone is able to harmonize with the color of the eyes of the owner of the accessory and its outfit. In this case, the image is so consistent that you can pass for the style icon.
