Gold Earrings for Women

Whether you're looking to elevate your style or add a little sparkle, gold earrings for women are a must-have in your jewelry box.

There are as many different options for earrings as there are for gold chains and bracelets. Knowing the different styles and ways to wear gold earrings for women can help you determine which type would be best for you.

Gold earrings are quite common and popular among men and women. Stud gold earrings for women are worn in most ear piercings.

A stud will have a straight post that goes through the ear. What sits on the earlobe is likely small, but it can be any shape or stone.

Earrings for Women

So now you're wondering what kind of earrings for women you like, and maybe you want to try some. One thing that's important to know is what gauge your gold earrings are.

The most common size for regular piercing earrings for women will be a 20 gauge. Now that sounds like it would be large since it's a higher number.

The higher the number, the thinner the wire or post of an earring. The lower the number, the thicker the wire or post.

Small Earrings

It's not just the type of earring you wear that matters, whether they are small earrings or large, the backing also matters. Many never realized that there are different types of backs or closures for an earring. Some are simple backs and others are specially designed to help prevent them from falling out or off.

• Push Backs (Butterfly Back): This is the most common style of backing for post or gold earrings. The end of the stud passes through a small hole in the middle of the back, and then the back will be pushed against the back of the earlobe.

• Screw Backs: These types of backs are like push backs, but they screw onto the stud for greater protection against falling off. This type of backing is commonly used for diamond earrings or those that are more expensive.
• Latch Back: Latch back closures are often found on hoop and "huggie" style earrings. The latch is a small wire or post that hooks into the back of the earring to secure it closed. This back is already attached to the earring and is not an additional piece.
• Lever Backs: The lever style can be found with dangling or drop earrings. The hook goes through the ear, and the back of the earring closes against the hook to secure it in the ear.
• Fish Hooks: A fish hook style earring is an earring wire that looks like a fish hook. This is curved and goes through the ear, and usually has nothing at the end. Some people use a small rubber stopper that can slide over the wire to help secure the earring in the ear.

Small Gold Earrings

You think you've figured out what kind of earrings you like and what clasp you prefer... but now you want to know more. How do you clean them? Can you sleep in them? What about showering with them? Can I wear them all the time? Don't worry, we have the answers for you!

Can I wear my small gold earrings all the time?

Yes, but it's up to you. Depending on the style of the small gold earrings you're wearing, they may not be comfortable to wear all the time. Typically, if someone chooses to wear a pair of earrings all the time, it's likely a post or stud style earring.

Smaller hoops are often worn constantly every day. 14k gold earrings are likely to withstand the daily wear and tear they can endure. 18k and 24k gold earrings are softer and can scratch more easily if worn all the time.

Can I shower with them?

Yes, however, it is not recommended. Wearing small gold earrings in the shower poses a risk of losing one of those beauties. Earrings made of yellow gold, titanium, or stainless steel are more likely to withstand the harsher chemicals in soaps and shampoos. But even though they can withstand it, you don't want to risk losing them (or getting them caught in your hair).

Is it okay to sleep with them?

Again, yes, it's okay, but it depends on you and the style of the earring. Larger style gold earrings are likely to be uncomfortable when it comes to sleeping. Also, the backing of the earring can also make a difference. Fish hook style gold earrings can dig into your neck and be uncomfortable. The same goes for stud earrings, they can also dig into your neck.

How do I clean my earrings?

There are a few different ways you can clean your gold studs for women. There are jewelry cleaners designed for specific types of metals and stones. So, if you have 14k gold earrings, you'll want to use a gold cleaner and not a silver cleaner. You can also soak your pretty earrings in warm water with a mild soap and scrub them with a soft-bristled toothbrush.

If you don't have the brush, you can also use a cotton swab to remove residue. It's important to keep your gold studs clean, as dirty earrings can cause infections or residue buildup in or around the piercing. You should also use an antiseptic to clean your earlobes frequently to help ensure the cleanliness of your earrings.

Gold Earrings

Gold hoop earrings come in many sizes and shapes. A hoop earring will have a straight or slightly curved post or wire that goes through the ear.

Hoops are commonly a circle, but many new shapes like squares, hearts, and other forms are also common.

Gold cluster earrings are traditionally a type of post or stud earring, but instead of a single shape or stone against the lobe, there is a cluster.

Depending on the size of the cluster, there may be a central stone or gem, with 6 stones or gems surrounding the middle one. This might look like a flower in smaller sizes.

With a gold drop-style earring, there will be a piece that hangs but doesn't actually move. Dangling gold earrings will have free movement and, depending on the shape, will swing or twirl. A chandelier-style earring gets its name from an actual chandelier. The shape will have a tiered look, with layers of gems or designs, and will likely hang from the earlobe.

With so many different styles, not all are as common as others, but some you might encounter could be threaders. Gold threader earrings will have a long wire or post that goes through the ear and connects to a very thin chain and has a shape or stone attached to the end. This style will hang from the ear and is usually small and delicate.

Huggies are a much smaller version of a hoop and connect and "hug" the earlobe. Finally, barbells, tunnels, and tapers are used in larger gauge piercings or to start the gauging process.

14k Gold Earrings

Pairing your 14k gold earrings can be difficult for some people. You have so many options, and you just don't know what to wear with what. Matching your earrings to your outfit isn't the only thing you should do.

There's also your face shape and skin tone. Some skin tones (like pale or milky white) may look better with a pair of white gold earrings than with yellow gold. But for others with darker skin tones, 14k gold earrings tend to show their luster and shine better.

When looking at gems, or what color to wear with your 14k gold earrings, often darker colors help yellow gold stand out. Gemstones like emeralds, rubies, and sapphires can make gold pop. Wearing similar colors (burgundy, dark greens, and blues) can also make gold earrings stand out.

If you're not one for bright colors, neutrals like white and black are best when pairing your earrings.
