Questions about this piece
Will statement earrings bother sensitive ears?
It is almost always the metal rather than the size that causes trouble, and nickel is the usual culprit. A nickel reaction shows up within a day or two as itching, redness or a weepy spot right at the piercing, and it can start years after you have worn the same kind of earring without any problem. What to look for is surgical stainless steel, titanium or solid gold on the post, since the post is the only part actually sitting inside your ear. These are lead and nickel free with surgical stainless steel posts and backings, which is the combination most people with touchy ears can wear all day.
How do you wear statement earrings without looking overdone?
Let them be the only bold thing you have on, and keep the neckline underneath clear. Statement earrings sit right beside your face, so a chunky necklace, a busy collar or a scarf knotted at the throat competes for the same few inches and the whole look starts to feel crowded. Hair up or tucked behind one ear gives them room to be seen, and if you want a second piece, make it small and quiet like a thin ring. These are the chunky handmade kind, so they sit squarely in the category that wants everything else kept plain.
How big and how heavy are these earrings?
An inch and a half long and an inch and a half wide, so they are exactly as broad as they are tall. That squared-off proportion is what makes them wearable: the whole earring sits up around the lobe as one compact shape instead of dropping down alongside your jaw, so it does not swing or catch in your hair the way a long chandelier style does. The weight is the other number worth knowing at 7 grams, roughly a quarter of an ounce, which is light for something this size and the reason the posts are not dragging on the piercing by the end of an evening.
