My Pearl of The Day: Diamond Earrings for Your Second Ear Piercings

I love all jewelry (bracelets, necklaces and rings), but often times, earrings are my grand finale. My big bang. My focus point piece of jewelry.

The reason I choose earrings as my "big bang" piece rather than, say a ring, is because earrings have what I think of as this magical ability to totally amp up anything I'm wearing.  

Out of all my jewelry, I always think it's my earrings that have the biggest impact on my appearance, and always in a positive way, unlike hair, it is impossible to have a bad earring day.

 Well, unless you were to lose one (or both), then that would be a bad earring day, I suppose.

And we were given ears for a reason, so why not put those ear lobes to good use?

Normally, I take advantage of getting to wear as many of my earrings as possible by using my first hole (the one nearest to the jaw) for my trendy, decorative pieces, and my second hole (furthest from the face) for a small, sparkly diamond earring. Always simple, but always lovely.

Since I  love vibrant colors and statement pieces, I like to go with colorful diamonds or a bold "dangly" earring. 

At this point, there's no sense in saying "also since I post bi-weekly about Avianne and Co. jewelry..." because ya'll know that by now. But there it is. I stalk their jewelry selection and share things that strike my fancy the most. 

Then, it always leads to really sparkly conversations with ya'll and I can't get enough of jewelry-talk with like-minded people. 

You seen it coming, but I must say it anyway:

 

Here are three of my favorite diamond earrings (this week) that are perfect for wearing in second earring holes without giving you earring-overkill, if you happen to have more ear piercings:

 Every time I go on a "favorite jewelry binge," I always end up with black diamonds.  These beauties are the Black Rhodium Plated Black Diamond Solitaire Studs. Studs -- very fitting because these guys could certainly be considered studs.

I love them because aside from your typical diamond earring, a pair of black diamond earrings ride perfectly in your second earring hole (or first, for that matter!) while your first holes sport a more bold design. 

Of course these are gorgeous alone, without other earrings, but I was looking around for earrings that could be worn in my own "second holes" while I still wore a pair of larger, dangly earrings in my first holes.

 

For the colorful, sophisticated lady in me, these Solid Blue Diamond Studs suffice.

Who am I kidding? There's no such thing as this "sophisticated lady" anywhere inside me. But I would still wear the heck out of these square-shaped studs.

And while we all love a good diamond earring, no matter the cut, this Diamond Solitaire Stud earring that resembles a flower offers something a tad more unique, shape-wise than your typical cut.

So, which are your favorite earrings to wear as a second-hole set? Do you prefer one earring per ear, or are you like me and tend to get as much use out of those lobes as possible? Love hearing from ya'll!
