REAL LIFE

Tips for wearing dramatic earrings.

TIP 1
Don't go crazy with your jewels.  Let one piece be your statement whether it be a dramatic pair of earrings or a big statement necklace.


Serenity Stone Drops - $49


Capri Chandelier Earrings - $49


Tigris Earrings - $59

Tip 2
Costume jewelry for the most part is made with gold or silver plated metals.  If you have sensitive skin, be sure to ask an associate before making a purchase.  Gold prices are high right now so many manufacturers are having to use less expensive metals such as brass to keep the costs down.







Tip 3
Take a risk!  If you only wear silver, branch out and buy a great pair of gold earrings.  Be even more daring and buy a pair with bold colors.  It will add instant color to your face!
