And Kam asked:


I am planning on giving my partner a beautiful set of earrings with pink sapphires from Tiffany's. Her birthday is in July, which is Ruby, so is it okay to go with the pink sapphs?

- she likes studs so this is a good match
- i'm pretty sure she doesn't actually care for birthstones, horoscopes, etc.
- this is a Christmas gift

Okay so I got my ear's pierced about three months ago at clairs.
I waited six weeks to take my clair's studs out and got some new earrings that was made of white gold and rubies. Anyways when I took my old studs out I noticed a bump on my right ear lobe next to the piercing. And it hurt when I put my new earrings in. It has been a month since then it still hurts when I put different earrings in and I still have that bump thing, it goes away after awhile but I can still feel it. Do you know what's up??

Okay, first off I have had my ears pierced for at least 7 or 8 years. I had my ear cartilage pierced at Piercing Pagoda. I only had a problem with my ears being allergic to nickel after a year of having them.

Now, this past weekend I decided to wear my birthstone studs I got when I first got them pierced and after wearing them for maybe fourteen hours, I came home and my ear was painful to touch (Btw, I never had a problem with these earrings before). I quickly took out my earring, thinking the pain would subside, but after two days it still hurts.

When I touch it is quite painful and slightly swollen. When I push the piercing from the back the hole itself is really red and gross. I know it is either reacting to some sort of metal or they are infected. Any suggestions would help.

I recently got my ears pierced like a week ago for the second time (the first time didn't work out too well either). Within a day of getting my ears pierced one of them started to bother me-the same one as last time i got me ears pierced 4 years ago. Its a little swollen and red-not noticeable though unless you really look at it. Is it possible to be allergic to the earring in one ear but not the other? I'm cleaning it well using the ear cleaning antiseptic (the one they give you at Claire's) 3 times a day and also using neosporin-i have the 14k gold april birthstone studs. Oh and taking them out is not an option! Help?

Oh and if I switch to titanium earrings is that a bad idea since i would have to take out the earring (and because it is swollen it might be hard to put back in)

When you buy jewelry as a gift for a woman, whether it is your mother, your sister, a friend or someone special, make it a pair of earrings.

Why?

If you get her a necklace, chances are she wouldn't wear that necklace until she's bought a pair of earrings that match. If you buy her earrings, she'll be able to wear them right away.

Why is that so?

If she has pierced her ears, she'd probably wear earrings most of the time. Otherwise, the piecing would show.

Now for the earrings themselves. How do you know which pair would suit her best?

First, look at her overall size? If she is petite, get her something small and delicate that would be proportionate with her size. If she is big, tiny earrings would get lost on her. In that case, chunky jewelry would suit her best.

Do you want to really impress her? If you have the budget, get her diamonds earrings. After all, diamonds are a girl's best friend and diamonds would dazzle any woman.

What sort of earrings should you get?

There are so many designs. Which would she prefer?

Although I'm partial towards drop earrings, as a gift, I'd recommend stud earrings. They are the safest. Unless you know she has a preference for a different type of earring, like hoops or chandeliers, studs are your best bet. Every woman can wear them. Some women feel self conscious wearing dangling earrings while others might think they look silly with hoops but practically everyone can wear stud earrings.

Is it going to be a birthday gift for her?

I suggest you get her birthstone jewelry. There's a birthstone for every month of the year. Garnet for January, Amethyst for February, Aquamarine for March, Diamond for April, Emerald for May, Pearl for June, Ruby for July, Carnelian for August, Sapphire for September, Opal for October, Citrine for November and Turquoise for December. A birthstone is more personal as it is specially for those born in that month. Get her a personal birthstone set in earrings. Now that would be a wonderful birthday gift for her.

Why are earrings the most important item of jewelry? By important I mean the piece of jewelry that will do the most for your appearance. As with all jewelry it should blend with your overall attraction. You don't want the first comment to be about your great jewelry and then you come in second. Your overall look is what needs to be fabulous, then after the comments of how stunning you look, they can notice your cool jewelry. Later we will look at what style of earrings the stars wore to the Oscars.

Earrings are what frames your face, along with hair, if the colour and style of your earrings are right they will be like two spotlights adding a glow to your face, making it brighter and more alive. Earrings with a decoration on the front of the post, covering the pierced hole, has the reflected light starting from the right point. Earrings with a shepherd hook usually start from a lower aspect and part of the effect can be lost. Also with the shepherd hook if the earring is heavy it shows up the drag on the lobe, these earrings are probably better suited for lighter more casual wear.

Looking at the Oscars 2007. On the Red Carpet almost all of the earrings that the stars wore were decorated from the front of the post, very few were shepherd hook earrings. Most earrings at the Oscars were quite elaborate but not overly so. Some like Nicole Kidman only wore tiny studs. I only saw one star, where the first thing that stood out was her jewelry, the rest were very tasteful.
