When it comes to statement jewelry, long chain earrings for women top the list due to their playful and effortlessly chic allure.

Whether it’s casual chic or ultra glam, chain earrings have been a real game changer on the fashion front.

Earrings For Every Mood

But before you get carried away with buying every long chain earring style out there, you must know how to wear long chain earrings. The correct length, according to your face, the type of embellishment and design, every little aspect can either make or break your look.

Here are the different ways in which you can rock these earrings, the right way.

1. Choose Long Chain Earrings With Gemstones

A little ‘extra’ oomph never hurts, especially when it comes to long chain earrings for women.  Instead of the standard chain earring, go for one with added embellishments. Pearls and precious gemstones like rubies, diamonds and sapphires look ethereal when suspended on a long chain earring and they truly add some pizazz to your overall look.

2. Try a Wrapped Style

This is a bold and contemporary option for those with two or multiple piercings on one ear. The chain earring is threaded through one piercing from the front to the back and threaded through the other piercing with a tightening of the loop at one end. Additional elements like crosses, links, stones and beads make this wrapped style extremely unique. Punk rock in every sense of the word, this wrapped style gives a rock chic vibe, but is not for the faint-hearted in fashion.

3. Pair Chain Earrings With an Appropriate Necklace

Less is always more when it comes to chain earrings for women. That said, if you absolutely MUST wear a necklace, then make sure it is in the same aesthetic zone as your long chain earring. If your long chain earrings go below the jawline, then stick to a sleek choker around the neck, but if your long chain earrings are of medium length, you can wear a minimally layered necklace. Just make sure it’s not OTT, as you don’t want one piece of accessory to clash with the other.

4. Mix up the Metals and Have Fun

The great thing about fashion is that it keeps evolving, and gone are the days when gold and metal stayed in their own lanes. Chain earrings for women look lovely when you blend gold and silver metals, and this is yet another unique way to wear and flaunt them. In fact, most jewelers have caught up with the ‘metal blend’ trend and have created beautiful two-tone pieces that can accentuate any look, regardless of whether it’s casual or elegant.

5. Pull Your Hair Up

Even though you could wear your hair down while wearing long chain earrings, it is recommended to pull it up and away from your face in order to highlight the chain earrings, as well as your neckline. If you own a pair of long chain earrings with lots of detailing, then this is the best way to make them stand out. Besides, by putting your hair up, you don’t get delicate, long chain earrings stuck in your hair, which can get pretty annoying.
