Earring Jackets are a wonderful way to add a little variety to a simple pair of studs. Do you or your special someone have a limited earring collection? Put a little spice into them with earring jackets.

Earring Jackets are like accessories for your stud earrings. They are attached to a piece of metal with a hole in the center that slides over the metal post in back of the stud. Most earring jackets are round with a ring of colorful stones or glass set around the metal circle of the earring jacket. Other earring jackets are made with dangles, pieces of artistically shaped metal, glass, beads, pearls, etc that dangle via a small metal chain from the metal circle of the jacket.

Since studs are simple, usually just a diamond or cubic zirconium they often work in a variety of environments but sometimes you want to wear something different. Earring jackets provide the chance to create more elaborate looks with different feels for different settings. The more colorful jackets can be appropriate for parties with friends, while jackets with a silver dangle could be for a more elegant dinner. Then later on you simple remove the jackets place them into your purse and go about your day with a conservative look.

Earring jackets can be somewhat expensive ranging in price from a hundred to four hundred dollars. They are made of metals similar to any other piece of jewelry, sterling silver, gold, platinum, etc. and a range of semiprecious to precious gemstones including sapphires, rubies, diamonds, and opals. It's best to purchase a small box or velvet bag to store your earring jackets in when not using them as they can be easy to lose.
