Frequently Asked Questions

What should I know before choosing earrings?

Several factors play a part in choosing the right earrings for you. What colour metal do you like to wear? Do you prefer to wear a stud earring that is neat and versatile? Is your style more edgy with several piercings so you like to wear graduated sizes? Perhaps you are a fan of the ever popular hoop earring? Followers of fashion may seek out on trend chunky styles or glamour lovers might like a glittering drop earring. Consider how you want to wear them and go from there!

What’s the best way to clean and maintain earrings?

Remember that your earrings are metal and may contain a precious stone use a mild soap that won't react to the metal or stone. Store your earrings in a secure and clean padded jewellery box so there's less chance they will be damaged or lost.

What are the best earrings for everyday activities?

If you're out and about, living your everyday life, then studs would probably be the most practical choice of earrings. Stud earrings are less likely to become tangled in anything, and you can save the more glamourous earrings for another time. Small hoops are also usually a safe option because they look out of place in an everyday setting but still offer a touch of elegance.

What earrings should I wear with sensitive ears?

It's possible to wear earrings if you have sensitive ears or skin, but you should pay attention to the material from which your earrings are made. For example sterling silver, 14ct and 18ct gold tend to be hypoallergenic and should cause less of a reaction to your skin. Consult the team at Ryan Thomas beforehand if you have any issues regarding the best materials for sensitive skin.

What materials does Ryan Thomas use for earrings?

When it comes to selecting your earring material, the choice is yours. Ryan Thomas has a diverse range of materials used in our collection to make earrings, but the most popular options are gold, platinum, white gold, and silver. An accompanying precious stone, such as emeralds, diamonds, sapphires, and pearls, is often a feature of the earring to give it that stunning finish.

How do I know which earrings suit my hairstyle?

Choosing the earrings that will go with the hairstyle you have is straightforward. Generally, longer hair that reaches your chest tends to go well with stud earrings or small hoops, so the hair won't hide longer pieces of jewellery or become tangled with the earrings. Short hairstyles or updos mean that more of your neck will be on show, so you can opt for longer earrings to accentuate your neck and have the earrings on the show and uncovered by hair.

How do I buy earrings as a gift for someone else?

Consider the style of the person you're buying for, do they wear silver or gold or perhaps rose gold? Do they prefer dainty or chunky jewellery? Are they petite? If so perhaps a stud earring or a small hoop earring. If tall perhaps a longer drop earring might suit?
