Sterling Silver Statement Earrings

Whether it's better to wear gold or silver statement earrings depends on your personal style. The perfect statement earrings will always be the ones that best align with your personal style, and that you feel drawn to.

Think about where and how you'll wear your earrings. Gold statement earrings are a chic everyday accessory. Statement earrings in silver have a clean yet classic feel that's beautifully suited to eveningwear. Complement silver statement drop earrings with a necklace or pendant or a pair of silver bead threader earrings with a sterling silver bracelet.  

While both gold and silver statement earrings are timeless and versatile enough to be in your regular jewellery rotation, think about the design of the pieces you’d like to wear with them. Aim for pieces that will look stylish and that will complement your favourite pieces.

Wearing a necklace with silver statement earrings can be a perfect match when it comes to styling a bold look.  

Often, people wear more subtle pendants or necklaces to ensure that their statement earrings remain the focal point. With a pair of sterling silver statement earrings, you can wear a station necklace or a halo diamond pendant for a hint of radiance.  

Others, however, might feel bold enough to pair their earrings with a statement necklace for a more eye-catching look, like a pear or double circle pendant. 

Silver statement earrings with a necklace can offer a striking look for any occasion. You can even style silver statement earrings for a wedding - go for simple and sophisticated if the ceremony is formal or try some edgy drop hoop earrings and a  circular pendant necklace if the dress code is a little more relaxed.

It’s perfectly acceptable to wear long silver earrings to work, though this can vary according to your workplace.

For those who need to adhere to a dress code, a good rule is to keep your earrings above the jawline. In this case, a pair of silver drop statement earrings with a small ring of diamonds can provide a hint of chic while still feeling professional. Likewise a pair of silver drop hoops will give a polished yet modern feel that won’t be distracting. Add a small pendant or a silver bangle to create a more streamlined look, keeping other accessories lowkey so that your earrings stand out.

Large silver statement earrings need to be durable and feel comfortable enough to wear throughout the day, so be sure to choose lightweight designs. 925 sterling silver is the quality standard for fine jewellery, so it’s the perfect choice for an enduring piece. At Michael Hill, we only use 925 sterling silver, so you know you’ll only find the highest quality sterling silver jewellery that you’ll have for many years to come.
