The top pair is usually diamond studs, but I'll swap them out for other things too.&nbsp;If I'm wearing a statement necklace, then I'll usually&nbsp;wear simple hoops, studs, or pearls. Occasionally I'll do more prominent earrings with a statement necklace, or wear two sets of larger flashier studded back earrings. I have no qualms mixing gold and silver (and copper and rose gold and bronze, for that matter), especially if looking at just the setting of&nbsp;small earrings.&nbsp;Many of my statement necklaces are gold, and my little diamond studs have a silver setting so I've got auto mix right there. I really&nbsp;think you'd be just fine wearing silver set earrings with a gold necklace. I wouldn't match the stones though, wear something that's similar but not the same if you feel like wearing something that matches more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-wear-earrings-with-a-statement-necklace#post-1220719 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 16:29:36 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1220719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it really depends on the necklace. Like karymk points out, it can totally work with both. I also feel unfinished without earrings, so I try on different pairs to see what works, and sometimes a necklace does look best with very small or understated earrings, sometimes it can handle more than that.</p> <p>I've never followed a "rule" about not wearing both or not matching or whatever. I judge combo by combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-wear-earrings-with-a-statement-necklace#post-1220699 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 16:14:43 +0000 karymk 1220699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I Feel unfinished if I leave out the earrings. &nbsp;Diamond studs are great, or just another type of post earring.&nbsp;</p> <p>But the other night on the news, one guest had on both hoops and a statement necklace. &nbsp;Both were gold and the two together really framed her face nicely! It made me think again about the earrings with a statement necklace conundrum. &nbsp;</p> <p>You could put together some combos for YLFers to check out here and help you with.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-wear-earrings-with-a-statement-necklace#post-1220684 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 16:03:14 +0000 annagybe 1220684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't wear earrings when I wear statement necklaces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-wear-earrings-with-a-statement-necklace#post-1220681 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 15:55:26 +0000 retailgirl 1220681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always wear earrings. I think pierced ears without earrings look weird. A diamond stud set in white metal is neutral enough to wear with gold, IMO. Pearls also go with both gold and silver. Earrings light up your face! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-wear-earrings-with-a-statement-necklace#post-1220632 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 14:56:53 +0000 carter 1220632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always wear earrings with a statement necklace, but I keep them subdued so they don't compete with the necklace. I wear both gold and silver, so I bought <a href="http://www.erwinpearl.com/004429002.html" rel="nofollow">these from Erwin Pearl</a>. One side is gold, the other is silver. I'm also a fan of mixing metals, but I want it to look intentional, so I might add a third piece (bangle maybe) that is two-tone if I'm wearing gold jewelry with my white gold watch. I think your pearls would also be good if they work with the necklace and your outfit. I wear my diamond studs with platinum setting with gold all the time. It's not the prongs folks are looking at...it's the diamonds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-wear-earrings-with-a-statement-necklace#post-1220618 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 14:49:27 +0000 Mo 1220618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is some thought to having just one focal point of jewelry, especially when it is a statement piece. &nbsp;But I do see plenty of gals wearing both earrings and necklaces at the same time. &nbsp;Pearl studs sound very subdued and will still allow your necklace to take center stage.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-wear-earrings-with-a-statement-necklace#post-1220613 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 14:46:43 +0000 always trying 1220613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends on your hair too.&nbsp; If you have pierced ears and shorter hair like me you would feel better not leaving ears bare.&nbsp; what I do is wear very small gold or my very thin gold small hoops with the gold, and very small silver with the silver.&nbsp; I think the pearl studs would work just fine too.i researched this a while back and best I could find said-since the necklace is the statement piece, you do not want to call attention to the earrings.&nbsp; If your hair is such that you do not see ears then go with the no earrings.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-wear-earrings-with-a-statement-necklace#post-1220612 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 14:46:25 +0000 always trying 1220612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends on your hair too.&nbsp; If you have pierced ears and shorter hair like me you would feel better not leaving ears bare.&nbsp; what I do is wear very small gold or my very thin gold small hoops with the gold, and very small silver with the silver.&nbsp; I think the pearl studs would work just fine too.i researched this a while back and best I could find said-since the necklace is the statement piece, you do not want to call attention to the earrings.&nbsp; If your hair is such that you do not see ears then go with the no earrings.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-wear-earrings-with-a-statement-necklace#post-1220598 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 14:33:10 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1220598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen so many pretty statement necklaces lately, and at all price points! I only wear silver, and figure that pearl studs are neutral, but so many of the pretty necklaces I'm drawn to have gold chains. Would I wear any earrings with a big necklace? I wouldn't want to match/coordinate the stones, would I? I can't wear my diamond studs which have silver prongs with a necklace that has gold, right? </p>
