Sterling Silver Earrings have been a huge trend the fashion world as of late.  Due to economic factors which make gold and platinum impossibly expensive, many people have turned to sterling silver.  Sterling silver simply means that it has a content of over 92.5% fine silver and only 7.5% alloy.  Using sterling silver instead of gold or platinum can be an incredible price savings.  Having said that, what are the hottest trends in sterling silver earrings right now?

1.  Ethnic:  Square style earrings with pave set cubic zirconia or crystals around a square center stone are hotter than hot.  You can mix and match colorsof the center stone to go with just about any outfit or look.  Also playing with the size will definitely give you different looks.  Also the lenght of the dangle and what you put around it are other areas that can greatly change this look.  The most popular right now are blue centers that lok like turquose which has a rough and natural finish surrounded by nice brilliant cut pave set CZs.

2.  Studs.  CZ Studs are a staple.  They are a must, just like a Coach purse or a little black dress.  Nobody knows if the diamonds you are wearing are diamond or CZ or silver or gold, so dont waste your precious money on metal and stones that are not discernible unless a gemologist is evaluating your pieces under a microscope.  You can vary your mounting type from a traditional 4 prong basket to a martini, which is hot and trendy right now.  You can also vary size, but the bigger you go the less likely they are to convince people to be diamond studs.  Then again, that only matters if you care what other people think, which is a waste of time anyway.  You can also vary stones in the studs.  Cubic zirconia is very popular, but that doesnt mean that precious and semi precious stones wouldnt make great sterling silver earrings.  Keep in mind that you can do sapphire, diamond, tourmaline, whatever you wish.

3.  Hoops.  Hoops are along the same lines as studs.  They are classic and will forever be a fashion staple.  Like studs, they vary greatly.  They have inside out so you see stones from every direction.  Different shapes, sizes and stones also make this an awesome fashion accessory.  Again, if you choose to do silver and CZ they are inexpensive and you can own a few pairs and vary what you wear.

So the conclusion is that sterling silver earrings are increasingly popular and trendy.  They are inexpensive so you can own several versions and variations and not have to feel like you are breaking the bank.  For great samples of earrings, try .
