How to Wear Chandelier Earrings

Without a doubt the most glamorous earrings you can wear are chandelier earrings. These have the biggest WOW factor when walking into a room and add instant glamour to any outfit. As beautiful as they are they are not always the easiest piece of jewelry to wear. Here are some do’s and don’t on chandelier earrings that I wanted to share with you.

Do – Select the right size for you. Depending on the shape of your face you can go smaller or bigger. If you’re very petite with small features steer clear from extra large earrings or they will just make you look smaller. Round face will be elongated with longer chandeliers.

Don’t wear with a statement necklace. Your earrings are a statement piece so no need to clutter your look by adding more bling around your neck. Stick with a simple pendant to accessorize but chances are you don’t even need it.

Do – Put your hair up. Show off the beauty of your chandelier earrings by putting your hair up in an elegant bun or high ponytail. Sweep your hair away from your ears to let your jewels really shine.

Don’t wear them to the office or during the day. Chandeliers are elegant and sexy. They dress up an outfit and sparkle beautifully at night. Not very professional for the office. If you really want to, opt for shorter chandeliers.

Do – Use them to dress up your daytime look. Chandelier earrings are the perfect accessory to go from daytime casual to nighttime chic with the same outfit. If you have plans after work, simply drape your ears with dramatic chandeliers to dress up your regular work attire like in this outfit below.

Don’t wear them for an entire day – Put these earrings on at the last moment before going out. Since they do tend to get heavy it would be wise to not wear them for a long period of time. Reserve them for nights out rather than all-day glamour.

Do – Wear chandeliers at any age. Everyone deserves a little glamour. I often hear middle-age women say they are too old to pull off this look. I couldn’t disagree more. Ladies, put them on! They are look fab whether you’re 20, 40, 60, etc.

Find The Best Earrings For Your Face Shape

Getting dressed up for a night on the town? Getting ready to walk down the aisle? Jewelry can make ALL the difference, but we don’t always give it the time of day, especially when it comes to earrings.

Urvi Tejani, Creative Director and Founder of Tejani Jewelry, gives GalTime the lowdown on finding earrings that flatter your face shape.

Round: If you have a rounder face, look for length in skinny dangles that elongate your appearance. Pick a pair of earrings that are a slightly longer than your chin.



Square: Balance out an angular face with round earrings. Think oversized teardrops or circular multi-tiers. Circles and curves will smooth out your look. Try to avoid sharp edges or diamond shapes because these styles emphasize square features.




Heart: To complement a heart-shaped face, look for drop earrings that are wider than they are long. Drops with circular details, like teardrop stones or dangling pearls, will help round out a narrow chin.



Oval: Wide earrings will flatter any oval-shaped face. Whether you prefer simple studs or statement chandeliers, make sure their width is substantial. These styles will balance narrowness and produce a sleek look.


Never let your accessories wear you: To flatter your face shape and height, make sure to wear earrings that are appropriately sized. Amp up your look, but don’t overdo it. You never want to drown in a pair of dangles , or lose the flash with too-simple studs.

Take your time: Selecting the right earrings – or any jewelry for that matter – is usually a last-minute decision. Instead of choosing the first pieces that catch your eye, select what looks best. Jewelry is an integral part of any outfit, so treat it as such! Mix personal style with flattering silhouettes, and you’ll truly shine!

Costume jewelry versus the “real” thing: According to Tejani, jewelry is all about achieving a “look,” so consider spending a bit more on well-made costume pieces. They’re the perfect middle ground between cheaper baubles that tend to fall apart and diamonds that cost a pretty penny. They’ll help you capture the trend du jour on a budget, and can still be worn time and time again.
