Earrings Guide

Earrings may be one-size-fits-all, but that doesn’t mean that one size is perfect for all. Since we’re aiming for personalized perfection here, there are a few things to think about when choosing a pair of earrings.

Start with your own comfort, any allergies, and - of course - what you like! Here’s a quick and easy guide to picking the perfect pair of earrings for you.

Introduction to Earring Styles

Earring Types

There are three basic earring styles: studs, hoops, and dangles. Stud earrings are set on a post and flush to the ear. Hoops are classic circular frames that go all the way around the earlobe. Dangle earrings come in the biggest variety of shapes and sizes, but essentially they are any pendant earring that swings freely from the ear.

Choosing the Right Metals

Metals

Because the skin on the ear is very sensitive, allergies to certain metals are quite common. (We all remember the horror stories of cheap earrings turning our earlobes green!) Nickel is the most likely metal to cause allergic reactions, but I do not use any of it in my earrings (or my jewelry in general.). All of my earrings are sterling silver or 18K gold and my solders are also nickel-free.

It’s much less common to have an allergy to silver, but it does happen. Fortunately, there are many gold earring designs available on my site. When in doubt, I recommend opting for gold earrings or even platinum.

Choosing the Right Size

Earring Sizes

Many people love big statement earrings, but some find heavy earrings uncomfortable. That’s why many of my designs are available in multiple sizes. If you’re headache-prone or simply don’t like large earrings, opt for the mini or petite versions.

My Ripple Hoops are available in both standard and grand sizes, for the fashionistas out there. If you’re looking for itty bitty hoops, the Spiraling Wave earrings delicately hug the ear in the most petite hoop possible.

Earring Backs and Hooks

The number one piece of advice I have for earrings is to always wear the rubber stopper! I know it can seem redundant to put that stopper in after the metal earring back (using both the ear nut and the rubber back at the same time), but it makes a huge difference. Don’t lose your earrings!

All of my earrings are made with simple posts for studs and French hooks for dangles. For extra security, I also offer a lever-back upgrade. Just reach out and let us know if you’re interested.

Layering Earrings

I am a huge supporter of layering and stacking jewelry, so it should come as no surprise that extends to earrings. I love contrasting simple studs, like the Seashell Speckle, with larger statement pieces, like the Glitter Trail. These days, even a full ear of sparkle can be sophisticated and classy. Go go ahead and get those extra piercings. There’s more opportunity to express yourself and have fun!

A single rose is dropped into a clear pond. As tiny droplets sparkle like diamonds on both petals and thorns, the cool water becomes perfumed with the scent of flowers, nature’s delicate gift.

The Rosewater earrings feature a rippling, hand-textured gold dangle culminating in a gorgeous oval gemstone. Petite diamonds are placed asymmetrically along the gold channel, like thorns on a rose stem glittering with droplets of water.

The Ripple Collection by Kristen Baird draws inspiration from the rhythms, textures, and ever-changing nature of flowing water. Look upon soft snowdrops blanketing mountain peaks. Imagine the gentle rush of a riverbed as it winds its way home. Each piece in the collection combines organic shapes with modern design. Ideal for everything from casual wear to formal occasions, these staples will quickly become your forever go-to's.

These handcrafted earrings measure approximately 25mm in length, by 5mm at the widest point, for a total hang length of around 35mm. They feature a pair of 4mm x 6mm oval faceted gemstones in your choice of available colors, which are raised in prong settings. Handcrafted of 18K Yellow Gold, 18K Rose Gold, or Platinum these earrings showcase three G/H VS1 lab-grown diamonds each side for maximum sparkle.

For your convenience, rubber earring backs are included with these dangle style earrings. To ensure balance of comfort and secure placement of your earrings, we recommend always wearing your pieces with the provided rubber earring backs.

At Kristen Baird® Jewelry, we use partially to fully recycled sterling silver. The 18K gold used is certified 100% recycled and the gemstones we use are carefully selected in line with our commitment to social responsibility. Each piece is precisely handcrafted in our Savannah, GA studio, using a metalsmithing process called reticulation. As proof of authenticity, each piece is stamped with the 18K/Plat quality mark and whenever possible, is signed/marked with the Kristen Baird® maker’s mark, prior to delivery.

Due to the natural characteristics of handcrafted designs, each piece may contain slight variances from the photos shown. These variances allow uniqueness in every creation, but never take away from the quality of work or the complexity of design.
