There is a very concrete reason why so many earrings are made with beads. This is because beads are particularly beautiful, especially when they’re illuminated with natural light. This is precisely why so many of these earrings are drop earrings, which can be exposed if the wearer has short hair or long hair that’s tied back in a ponytail or bun. When these earrings dangle down, they often take on even greater hues and colors than they would otherwise.
Because they take on these additional characteristics with the addition of light, beaded earrings usually utilize beads made out of natural gems such as agate or quartz. As semi-translucent stones, the earrings can end up looking entirely different between night and day. Knowing that, make sure that the earrings still coordinate with your outfit. If they look brownish when exposed to light, pair them with tan khakis and an earth toned tunic top. If they look noticeably darker by night, match them with your sassy little black dress and stiletto sandals.
