How to choose gold earrings?
BELLER gold earrings are designed to highlight exactly what you desire on any given day: sometimes a subtle glow right by your face, other times a striking accent reserved for the evening. For everyday wear, we offer studs and small hoops made from 585 gold, light and so discreet you can easily forget them; for special occasions, we have dangle earrings with diamonds that come alive with every turn of your head. Our gold earrings start from PLN 750, and you can view and try on every pair at BELLER boutiques before making a decision.
We have many styles in our display cases: studs, hoops, dangle models, with or without stones, in yellow, white, and rose gold. We will guide you through them just as we do at our counters in Warsaw and Krakow: from the gold purity, through the style, to that quietest but most important question – what you truly want to wear.
Earrings are the only jewelry others see when they look you straight in the eye. That's why we design them to work harder for your image than a ring hidden in your hand or a bracelet tucked under a sleeve: a well-chosen pair brightens the complexion and makes the entire outfit look thoughtfully put together, even when it consists of a simple sweater and jeans. This one decision deserves a moment of true attention.
Which gold purity for earrings: 585 or 750?
Gold purity indicates how much pure precious metal is in the alloy: 585 means 58.5% gold, 750 means 75%. In earrings, this difference matters more than in a ring, because earrings accompany the delicate skin of the face all day long, from morning coffee to late evening.
585 gold is harder and more resistant to scratches, which makes it ideal for everyday wear: studs, small hoops, delicate pendants. 750 gold has a warmer, deeper color and reflects light more nobly, so it thrives in evening earrings and in combination with colorful stones. If your skin is sensitive, a higher purity often proves gentler because it contains fewer additional metals.
White, yellow, or rose gold?
Yellow gold warms the complexion and remains a classic that defies fashion. White gold is rhodium-plated, meaning it's covered with a thin layer of rhodium, which gives it a cool, silvery luster and brings out the fire of diamonds. Rose gold, colored with an admixture of copper, brings warmth and a romantic touch. Usually, two of these shades suit one face, so it's good to try them on and let the mirror decide.
One simple observation helps in choosing the color. If you look better in warm clothing colors, beiges, and browns, you'll most likely love yellow and rose gold. If you lean towards cool blues and grays, white gold will enhance your beauty. However, you don't have to decide this once and for all; more and more people wear two colors of metal simultaneously every day, as this combination looks casual and modern, and also allows you to combine earrings with different rings or a watch.
Studs, hoops, or dangle: which style suits your face?
The style of earrings can visually slim the face and soften its features, which is perhaps its most underestimated role.
- Round face: elongated and dangle models lengthen it; it's better to be cautious with large hoops.
- Long or oval face: hoops and wider, more rounded forms balance it.
- Square face: soft, rounded lines and delicate studs soften it.
- Heart-shaped face: earrings that widen towards the bottom look beautiful.
These are guidelines, not rigid rules. The most important thing is that the earrings are yours, meaning they make you feel completely yourself. That's why we always encourage you to try on several styles in front of a mirror and at different times of day, when the light can be forgiving or more demanding.
Also, consider your daily routine. If you spend your day at the computer, in scarves, turtlenecks, and headphones, you'll appreciate models that hug the ear and don't snag on fabric. If you like to put your hair up and want your earrings to be visible, feel free to reach for hoops and dangle styles, as they will then sparkle to their fullest. The best pair is not the most beautiful one in the display case, but the one you will actually wear, instead of putting it back in the jewelry box.
How much do good gold earrings cost?
At BELLER, gold earrings start from PLN 750 for delicate, everyday models, and the collection currently includes nearly 95 options. The price increases with the gold purity, the weight of the metal, and the presence of stones. A pair with D-E color and VVS1 clarity diamonds costs more than a plain stud, as you pay for both the stone itself and the precision of its setting, where there is no room for error. Engraving on the clasp or inside, a date, or initials, is done free of charge.
How to care for gold earrings to last for years?
Gold is durable, but cosmetics, perfumes, and hairspray settle on its surface and dull its shine over time. The rule is simple: put on earrings last, after makeup and perfume, and take them off first. Store them separately to prevent scratching, and wipe them with a soft cloth occasionally. It's good to check the earring backs from time to time, as they ensure security.
Every once in a while, entrust your earrings to professional cleaning and polishing. As part of BELLER's lifetime service, we clean, polish, and perform minor repairs, and we refresh white gold by re-rhodium plating, which restores its original, cool luster. Details are described on our service page.
Frequently Asked Questions about Gold Earrings
Can you sleep in gold earrings?
It's better not to wear them to sleep. The stud's clasp can easily bend, and thin dangling elements can snag on bedding. By taking off your earrings at night, you extend their life and save your ears from unnecessary risk.
Do gold earrings cause allergies?
Pure gold does not cause allergies; reactions are usually caused by additional metals in lower-purity alloys or nickel. If your skin is sensitive, opt for 585 or 750 purity; at BELLER, every earring is made from gold of certified purity, so you can wear it safely every day.
Can you wear gold earrings in the shower and at the pool?
A quick shower won't harm them, though soap and hard water can eventually leave a delicate film on the gold, dulling its shine. It's better to remove them at the pool, as chlorine treats the metal and set stones mercilessly; a little daily care ensures that gold retains its full luster for years.
Where can I try on BELLER gold earrings?
At our boutiques: in Warsaw at Mokotowska 71 and in Krakow at Szczepańska 9, Monday to Saturday from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. It's best to come without rush, as earrings are best viewed in natural daylight and in your own reflection.
An example from our workshop
This is clearly visible in the pair of On the Edge N°1 gold earrings: small, geometric, with diamonds set to catch the light with every nod of the head. This model feels equally at home with a white shirt in the office as it does with an evening gown. The diamonds in our earrings have a D-E color and VVS1 clarity, and stones above 0.3 carats receive a GIA certificate; smaller ones are confirmed by a BELLER gemologist certificate. We hallmark the gold itself at the assay office, so you can be sure of the declared purity. If you prefer a form with character, opt for earrings from the Stained Glass Krakow collection, inspired by the city's stained glass: the same craftsmanship, but a more authorial line. Every detail, from the clasp to the final polish, passes through the hands of one jeweler, ensuring the pair is truly finished, not just assembled.
