Channel Knockoff Earrings

About Chanel

The Chanel design house was started back in 1909 by Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, who began by making stylish hats out of her small Parisian shop. Within a few years she opened a shop at the popular vacation destination Deauville, where she sold sportswear aimed at the modern woman. This success lead her to open a couture house in 1915, from where she created her popular fashion clothing lines. Before long she expanded her business to include perfume, launching the scent "Chanel No. 5" which became a classic and continues to enjoy strong sales to this day. Around 1924 Chanel launched a costume jewelry line that revolutionized jewelry. Until that point, a well-dressed woman would only be seen wearing fine jewelry, but Chanel showed that a woman could be fashionably dressed and express her individuality with fun, faux jewels as well.

Earrings as Jewelry

Although the extremes of body modification have been made more popular in our culture, it has been done for hundreds of years, and ear piercing is one of its oldest kinds. It has been worn by both men and women as documented by unearthed coins that show them wearing earrings. The oldest earring excavated was found in the noble Graves of Ur of Iraq, which dates back to 2,500 B.C.

Types of Earrings

Earrings are attached to the ears by two means, the use of posts and the use of wires. From there, a variety of earrings was created to suit each individual.

The most common type of earrings is the stud earring. It is attached to the ear through the post, which makes it seem to float on the earlobe. Stud earrings are held in place by the friction back to keep it in place without fear of it falling off.

Hoop earrings are those circular earrings that are attached to the ear by wires to make a complete ring. Posts can also be used to secure it to the ear, but it is not a complete circle.

Dangle earrings, so far, is the favorite among women as it is commonly seen anywhere. They measure from a centimeter to even just barely touching the shoulders. Wires and posts are also used for ear attachments, but most frequently, wires are used shaped into a small hook.

Huggy earrings are so called because they seem to hug the earlobe. Many earring crafters take advantage of huggy earrings to show off their expertise in this field and tend to make elaborate and varied designs.

The move Star Trek made Bajoran or slave earrings popular. It is a stud earring that has a thin chain attached to an ear cuff, and the ear cuff is then attached higher up on the ear.

Ear threads are those that are made of delicate chains slim enough to pass through the ear hole. It comes back out and dangles. To add some style to ear threads, people usually place beads and other materials on the chain.
