10 Chandelier Earrings to Raise your Wedding Wow Factor
With so many decisions around your wedding, it can be a sudden flood of choices from start to finish! Jewelry is another one of those choices that you want to get right, particularly earrings that are close to your face and featured in all of your close-up photos.
Chandelier earrings have traditionally been that one go-to earring that truly makes a statement. Glamorous, elegant, and particularly popular among celebrity wedding circles, these earrings add a perfect finish to your bridal look.
Hair Style Considerations
Typically worn with up-dos, chandelier earrings do an incredible job accentuating the jawline. An advantage to their length and statement style is that they can also work with hair that’s down as they will not easily become hidden or lost behind longer curls. If choosing to wear your hair down, keep in mind that you’ll want them to hang properly, especially in photos. Tiny, delicate stones and intricate designs may get tangled, so you may want to choose larger stones and settings.
Dress Neckline
Another aspect of their versatility is that they work with almost any dress neckline. We love the look of these earrings with bare shoulders or ultra thin straps. As a general rule, the more simple your hair and neckline, the longer and more elaborate your earrings and jewelry can be. These beautiful earrings can also be paired with an equally stunning necklace, complementing without competing, like this by Powder Blue Bijoux (note the simple hair and neckline!)
Chandelier Comfort
In terms of comfort and wear-ability, this style of earrings can potentially be heavy depending on material and length. Take this into consideration when browsing different designs. If you have sensitive ears, choose a pair with smaller stones or a shorter length. Additionally, there are very effective fix options available for heavier earrings such as emLobe Wonder/em, which eliminate stretching and strain on your ear lobes.
