Different Types Of Silver Hoop Earrings
by Jason Tye
plug itMen wearing jewellery has been condemned in the past, especially during the time when society didn't accept this practice. Although it has been shown in the history books that men of the earlier times did wear jewellery, it has become unacceptable in the succeeding eras. It was only in the mid-twentieth century that men wearing jewellery has become acceptable again as style icons such as musicians, celebrities, and sportsmen have started wearing jewellery as part of their packaging.
There are different kinds of men's jewellery available for one to choose from and these ranges from gold to silver to platinum and even leather. Most jewellery for men are almost similar to women's as they come in bracelets, necklaces, rings, and yes, even earrings. Earrings as part of the men's ensemble are probably one of the last pieces of jewellery for men that were accepted in the society because they were once thought to be largely for the female species. But now with the emergence of trends, earrings for men are widely accepted in the different parts of the world already.

While men's earrings can be made of different materials, the most recommended one is the one made out of silver. The metal silver used in the manufacture for these earrings are alloyed with copper to create a more durable material called sterling. Although not purely silver, sterling is one very workable material that is perfect when creating men's earrings. Aside from the materials used to make silver earrings, it is also important to note that there are two types of earrings commonly used by men, and these are the stud earrings and hoop earrings. A stud earring is just like a single dot that one can see adorning the ears of men. This stud can consist of precious stones such as diamonds. Hoop earrings; on the other hand, is formed like a ring that is hanged on the lower part of the outer ear.

There are different types of silver hoop earrings that one can choose from since these earrings do not just come in plain forms but also in the many different designs there is. One such design is the double hoop earrings which are made by two overlapping hoops to create an earring that is held in place by latch backs. Another design of silver hoop earrings is the huggie which is a thicker version of the usual hoop earring. This type of hoop earring is very simple yet elegant. Other wonderful designs of hoop earrings are those that consist of two or more metals in its make such as gold and silver, platinum and gold, titanium and gold, and all the other variations these selections can make.

One does not have to worry when choosing the right silver hoop earrings for his facial frame since most of these earrings are designed to fit just about anyone. The choice for hoop earrings is also countless especially in shops that offer jewellery online like Homme Rock since these shops make sure to bring business to their clients in the most professional way.

Common Types Of Earrings For Men : Earring jewelry store

Common Types Of Earrings For Men

plug itThe use of earrings for fashion can be traced back to the early 19th century where carved images of men wearing earrings, mostly of Persian descent, are displayed on palace walls. Even in the different parts of the world, such as Egypt and India, pharaohs and religious leaders were seen sporting earrings already.
Wearing earrings was originally thought to be of the female domain as to add to the glamour of the female physique. The popularity of earrings for female use started in Western Europe in the 1920's. It was only in the middle of the twentieth century that ear piercing became popular in the male world. Before, the method of ear piercing consisted of using a safety pin to create holes in the ear but now, this has evolved to a better practice of using ear guns to embed the earrings into one's ear. Earrings for men were popularized in the 1980's when famous musicians, athletes and show performers flaunted earrings during the gigs and games. Nowadays, you can see many men sporting earrings to complete their look. There are two common types of earrings that can be seen in men's ears, these are stud earrings and hoop earrings.

Stud earrings are largely popular to music performers at present. The main characteristic of stud earrings is that it seems to be pasted on the ear with no connection visible from the front. This works as the stud is constructed on one end of a post, which is what penetrates straight through the ear. A more classy type of stud earrings is the ones that feature a diamond as its stud. This type of stud earrings is very popular among the community since diamond stud earrings can be worn with casual or formal attires.

The second most common type of earrings for men is the hoop earrings. Hoop earrings are designed to resemble a ring so you can expect hoop earrings to be circular in design. Most hoop earrings are manufactured using metal tubing which has a thin wire attachment that penetrates the ear. Hoop earrings are fastened in a way that the wire attachment that is attached to the metal tubing will lock with the continuation of the metal tubing at the back of the ear as the wire attachment penetrates the ear. There are other hoop earrings that do not complete this circle though and works more like that of stud earrings, which has a lock at the back.

Choosing from the most common types of stud earrings is highly dependent on one's preference. If you are thinking of buying one for yourself, then keep in mind the occasion where you will be sporting the earring. You have to be able to tell if that particular earring will match what you are going to wear. It is also very important to be honest with yourself as to deciding if you will look hot or silly with that particular earring. Significantly, you must choose an earring that you really like and must be ready to flaunt it.

You can go with the necklace, a ring, or a pair of earrings. Knowing what is best to give to who will save you a lot of trouble in the future. However, which one is best to go with depends on the state of your relationship, each gift will say something different.
Earrings They are always a good gift and can be found for a decent price, almost anywhere you look. Buying earrings for someone, even a co-worker is a relatively harmless way to go. Not too much will be read into the gift and you don't have to worry that your token of appreciation to a co-worker is going to turn into mixed singles and their feeling that you are coming onto them with the gift. When buying earrings for your spouse or girlfriend, make sure you spend the right amount of money on them and do not go cheap. This could turn out worse for you if you buy cheap earrings, despite the notion of the thought counting.

Rings Rings are reserved for girlfriends and spouses. You should never buy a ring for a co-worker because it will send the wrong message about how you see them in the office. A ring is a token of commitment and love, and that has no place when you are trying to simply be friends with someone in the office. Of course, there are many different types of rings, including wedding, engagement and promise. Know what you are looking for when you get one and don't go cheap, it will show in the ring you buy.

Necklace This is a gray area. You could buy a necklace for a co-worker but it does mean intimacy if you do. For a spouse or girlfriend, it is a good gift as it shows a degree of thought and necklaces are usually expensive. There are several options with necklaces, including getting a locket with pictures of the two of you in it.

All of these choices will work for a girlfriend or spouse, but getting them a ring or necklace is the best bet. With a co-worker, you should go no further than earrings, doing so will send the wrong message and it could get you in a lot of trouble. So think about your choices and make the right one, it can mean a lot to your relationship.

Earrings For Men : Jewelry shopping sale online

Earrings For Men : Jewelry shopping sale online
by Jason Tye
Men's earrings became widely acceptable as a fashion statement during the late 80s and early 90s. They were catapulted into fame by celebrities like George Michael and Harrison Ford who were known for using them. At present, men's earrings are still a popular form of jewelry, but they have either slipped into subtlety (when worn by socialites) to blatant displays of individuality when they are worn by grunge and rock stylists. Below, are some earring styles that are commonly seen nowadays.StudsStuds are perfect for any occasion. They can be made of a solid diamond or it can be a stud of precious metal or semi-precious stone. No matter the style, studs are still considered to be a great choice for men's earrings. Because they are so versatile, a single 30 carat diamond stud can both be worn on the red carpet and also in the club scene. Perhaps, something a little smaller and less flashy would be appropriate if you want to wear it to the office. HoopsHoops were the original choice when it came to earrings for men. They can either be worn on one ear alone or on both - depending on the style and taste of the wearer. In the 90s some regions in Europe have even established a code, by which a person can pinpoint your sexual orientation by the number of earrings you are wearing and where you are wearing them. Today, jewelers often make men's hoop earrings in pairs, so, if you don't want to wear two at once, you can either keep one as back-up or you can split it with a friend.Clip-OnWhen actor Jamie Fox went to Oscars, he was sporting a diamond stud clip on earring. The one he was wearing was very descriptive of the modern style of men's earrings. The make was so impressive that it wasn't immediately obvious that he was wearing a clip on because the link between the front and the back clasp was so minimal, that it nearly passed unnoticed. That just shows how much jewelers have improved over the years. Clip-on earrings used to be reserved for women because they were often big in order to accommodate the size of the clasp in the back. Now, they are much more stylish and as demonstrated - have been perfected for use by both genders.Ear Cuffs and Flesh TunnelsIf you like to appeal to the eccentric in you, why not go for more ethnic and tribal looking earrings. You can avail of beautifully carved ear cuffs or flesh tunnels (if you dare). For some people, they would prefer the quick fix offered by the ear cuff. These intricate semi-tubes attach to the cartilage portion of the ear without piercing through the tissue. This is definitely the perfect accessory as it is as easy to remove as it is to put on. However, if you really want to stand out - you can always try multiple ear piercings or even a flesh tunnel. With the flesh tunnel, you can see how far you can widen that hole in your earlobe.

Girls' Guide To Buying Diamond Chains For Her Man

Girls' Guide To Buying Diamond Chains For Her Man
by Andy West
plug itTwenty first century women all know that if they want their relationships to go to the next level, they should probably take it there themselves. Buying diamond chains and other jewelry for your man can be a great way to start securing that commitment that he's been trying to avoid. However, you want to make sure that you don't scare your guy off by being wishy-washy with giving this gift. And you definitely want to make sure that the diamond chains that you buy are sending the message that you want to send loud and clear.
The first thing that you need to do before making an investment in something like diamond chains is to ask yourself what the reason behind it is. Maybe his birthday is coming up and you want to do something nice to remind him that you're his girl. Maybe he's been having problems with his job and you want to surprise him with a gift that will light up his face, and the rest of the room. Or maybe you feel like he hasn't been giving you the attention that you deserve and you are hoping to draw his eyes back your way with a fancy gift. Knowing the reason behind the gift can make it a lot easier to decide whether you really want to buy it and specifically what you want to buy.

When selecting diamond chains for a man, you'll want to think about where he's going to wear them. Is he the kind of guy that is going to be totally comfortable making this an every day piece of jewelry? If so, you might want to think about getting subtle gold chains that have diamonds worked into the design. If you think your man is more likely to just wear this on the weekends when you're going out to the clubs, you might want to get diamond chains with a little more bling to them. Ultimately, you have to really know your man to know what kind of chain he's going to want to wear.

What you really need to think about, though, is how you're going to give him the diamond chains that you buy. This goes back to knowing what kind of message you are trying to send with this gift. If you just want to surprise him with something nice, a simple wrapped package left in his mailbox or on his pillow would do the trick. If you're trying to get his attention back on your relationship, you should plan a romantic date and present the gift at dinner so that it becomes the big deal that you want it to be.

It's nice when the men in our lives buy us diamond jewelry of our own. However we're no longer living in a time where women sit and wait for those gifts to be showered upon them. If you're interested in being in a relationship where giving gifts is part of the package deal, then you may need to take that first step and buy him something. Of course, people don't always understand our intentions when we give a gift like this. Sometimes you just have to be blunt with the guy that you're seeing so it doesn't hurt to have a little speech prepared to tell him why you bought the diamond chains and what you're hoping it means.

Diamond chains are just one choice that you have when trying to get your relationship to that next level. Think carefully about whether this is the right gift for your man. Make sure you know what you want to happen by giving this gift. And then make sure to choose wisely when picking it out. It could be the first step on the way to the wedding chapel.
