Do You Like Earrings?

I do. But I don't own a lot of them due to my own clumsiness that I keep losing them. Most of my collections now are singles and I have about twenty different styles including the ones in pairs. Besides, my ears can get sensitive to certain metals. I usually have no choice but to stick with the ones made with at least 10KT gold or nickel free alternatives.

There seems to be no statistics collected about how many pairs of earrings on average a woman has. For shoes is nineteen pairs and handbags is seven. And since earrings won't occupy as much space, almost never go out of styles and can be bought a lot cheaper if you are not into the expensive precious stones, I would assume that the number of collections for women is much higher.

Here, I am going to share with you some of my favorite kinds and hope you like them too!

How Many Pairs Of Earrings Do You Have?

Count a pair of earrings as one pair and count two singles as one pair.

Cubic Zirconia Earrings

Cubic zirconia is a synthesized material made from crystalline form of zirconium dioxide. According to Wikipedia, "because of its low cost, durability, and close visual likeness to diamond, synthetic cubic zirconia has remained the most gemologically and economically important competitor for diamonds since commercial production began in 1976. Its main competitor as a synthetic gemstone is the more recently cultivated material, synthetic moissanite."

I love cubic zirconia earrings because they come in so many different styles, colors and price tags. For the most part, I like their shine and cut that mimic that of the diamond counterparts but you can easily get them for a lot cheaper.

There is nothing more versatile than having a simple pair of cubic zirconia earrings like the ones featured here. They are the perfect accessories for any occasions. Suitable to dress up or down. They are equivalent to the little black dress in your closet.

Nickel Free Earrings

One of the most common materials that can be found in earrings is nickel. Because it is cheap, sturdy, durable and able to hold colors well, nickel is usually added into other metals in the making of jewelery. Unfortunately, nickel also shown to be the culprit causing a lot of the skin allergies and sensitivities. Chronic skin itchiness, rash and raised bumps are commonly reported by people who wear nickel containing jewelry. As much as 50% of people who have pierced ears have allergic reaction to nickel jewelry earrings. Some have minor symptoms while others experienced serious side effects such as watery blisters or even seizures.

It is advisable to consult a doctor before you decide on whether you are truly allergic to nickel or nickel only as there are other metals such as gold, silver, lead and titanium that may trigger a reaction too.

Birthstone Earrings

May is my birth month and green is my second favorite color. Green usually signifies growth, nature and money. It is a color for balancing energies as well as increasing our sensitivity and compassion. It has a calming effect, especially in inflamed conditions of the body. It is soothing to the nervous system, restful and revitalizing to overtaxed mental conditions.

Emerald promises love, healing and prosperity.

One of the world's largest emeralds is the so-called 'Mogul Emerald'. It dates from 1695, weighs 217.80 carats, and is some 10cm tall. One side of it is inscribed with prayer texts, and engraved on the other there are magnificent floral ornaments. This legendary emerald was auctioned by Christie's of London to an unidentified buyer for 2.2m US Dollars on September 28th 2001 ( www.gemstone.org).
