As a woman gets older, her preferences in clothing and makeup change. Images become more feminine, makeup is discreet, and accessories are more laconic. A 20-year-old girl can dress in short denim shorts and complement her daring look with bright plastic earrings. A woman over 50 will not take such risks, and there is no point in doing so. Each age has its own beauty and attractiveness, you just need to highlight it correctly.
But with clothes things are simpler than with jewelry. On an intuitive level, as a woman gets older, she chooses the right clothes and understands that they definitely won’t suit her. But it’s easy to make a mistake with jewelry. Wanting to add a touch of richness to a summer look with bright jewelry, a woman risks looking ridiculous.
Therefore, knowledge about the relevance of jewelry is as important as knowledge about clothing, style and makeup.
Which earrings to choose after 50
Stylists tirelessly repeat the truth to us - good accessories complement, complete and make an image unique. Coco Chanel said in this regard that before leaving the house you need to look in the mirror and take off one piece of jewelry.A minimal amount of fine jewelry is better than 10 bling, at least for mature women.
What you definitely shouldn’t do is wear bright, youthful earrings in an attempt to refresh a restrained look. With this approach, a woman risks looking ridiculous.
For the earlobes, which for decades have worn various jewelry, including massive ones, it’s time to rest. This doesn't mean stop wearing earrings, just choose lightweight jewelry. Due to constant wearing of earrings, the earlobes become stretched and deformed. This feature is not an advantage and it is better to hide it with light earrings.
IMPORTANT! If you have thin, sensitive earlobes, continued wearing of massive jewelry will deform them.
Eliminate the following earrings from your wardrobe:
- plastic jewelry. Such jewelry looks good in youth looks. They will not add elegance to you, and the youthful style will work against you;
- large studs, chandelier earrings and other massive jewelry;
- earrings studded with colored stones;
- gold models with an abundance of stones.
Styles, design
Congo earrings and studs will fit well into the wardrobe of an older woman. They are not heavy, which means a stretched earlobe will not attract attention. Earrings with English, Italian and French locks are also appropriate, but with proper design. The design can be very different, so it’s worth going into more detail.
Styles and their advantages:
- Studs. The carnations should be neat, with or without a small stone. They are suitable for every day and almost any look, except for evening ones. For the evening they are modest;
- Congo. These are small rings that envelop the earlobe. They may be without unnecessary decoration, but if you love stones and they are appropriate, choose a model with one or three small stones.It is desirable that the stone be a diamond, but cubic zirconia or ztrkon will also work. Congos are also universal, and if, when leaving home, you forgot to change earrings to match your look, the rings will not ruin it;
- With English, Italian and French clasp. The styles of earrings with such clasps are very diverse, and for women over 50, small items with one stone are suitable. Or earrings with miniature pendants. Flat gold earrings with an English clasp without unnecessary decoration are suitable for every day and business meetings. The main thing is that the plate is not large and does not pull the ear down;
- Long evening earrings also change their style. Now choose a length of 2-3 cm, and make sure that the distance between the shoulder and the earring is slightly greater than the length of the earring. Otherwise, you risk making your neck visually shorter and fuller. And of course, laconic decor - a few stones or no stones at all.
Materials, stones, brands
At an advanced age, jewelry should be respectable. It is best if the earrings are made of precious metals - gold, silver, platinum.
ADVICE! At the age of 50, give preference to yellow gold. It will emphasize your status and at the same time add softness to the image.
If you like bright plastic jewelry, replace it with ceramics or wood. Colors can be bright, but restrained and close to pastel. You should wear such earrings carefully and only in the appropriate situation.
If you can’t buy several expensive jewelry, costume jewelry can help. But in appearance it should be close to expensive metals. Don’t skimp on cheap jewelry that will peel off or turn black in a month. The jewelry market has reputable jewelry manufacturers who use high-quality materials.Here are some of them:
- Pilgrim is a Danish brand of expensive jewelry. They have current earring models suitable for women over 50;
- Nomination is an Italian brand, there are models with gold plated. Main materials – steel, silver, zircons, Swarovski crystals;
- Pandora has a large selection of jewelry at an affordable price.
The situation with stones is the same as with metal - no matter how old the stones are, so are the stones. An elegant diamond in a gold frame is just right.
IMPORTANT! Diamonds are affordable today. You don't need to buy big earrings covered in tons of gems. Stud earrings with one miniature stone or gold earrings with a small diamond pendant are enough.
Pearls will fit perfectly into any lady's everyday wardrobe. Especially if your job involves spending a long time in the office or having business lunches with partners. Pearls are appropriate for everyday, evening and business looks. For ladies over 50, this is a real friend. And if you want to add some zest, choose earrings with baroque pearls. Besides, this is a trend for 2019.
