The history of large earrings
Did you know that large statement earrings have been around for centuries? In ancient Egypt, oversized jewelry was worn as a status symbol. During the Renaissance, gemstone earrings became popular among the elite. In the 80s, large, colorful earrings made a comeback as a symbol of self-expression and power.
Today, statement earrings combine modern aesthetics with classic influences. At Donna Dorée, we take inspiration from this rich history and add a contemporary touch to our jewelry designs.
What is the best material for statement earrings?
Not only the design, but also the material plays a big role in statement earrings. Durability and comfort are essential. We work with these materials:
- First grade silver; 925 sterling silver: a timeless precious metal that lasts a long time and does not discolour quickly. In our own collection of jewellery, we work with a rhodium ring layer over your statement earring silver, which perfectly protects your jewellery against discolouration. Very good for daily use!
- Gold plating and gold vermeil The base is sterling silver 925, on top of that comes a gold plating in a certain thickness so that you receive a beautiful statement earring gold with your order. For a luxurious look without the high price tag of solid gold.
Lightweight statement earrings
Although statement earrings are often big and flashy, that doesn’t mean they have to be heavy. At Donna Dorée, we design our earrings with comfort in mind. Thanks to the use of high-quality materials such as 925 sterling silver, our statement earrings are lightweight and comfortable enough to wear all day long. This makes them perfect for parties, weddings or even a long day at work. You don’t have to choose between style and wearability – with our designs, you can have the best of both worlds.
How do you wear your statement earrings?
Combining statement earrings can sometimes seem tricky, but with these tips you will always make the right choice:
- Minimalist outfit: Let your earrings be the star of the show by pairing them with a simple outfit in neutral colors.
- Hairstyle: Wear your hair up or behind your ears to show off the earrings. But it also looks great with loose hair! They do stand out ;)
- No excess: Do not combine statement earrings with other large jewelry. For example, choose subtle rings or a fine bracelet. Personally; I also wear big with big. More is more ;)
