Earparty samenstellen? Zo combineer je jouw favoriete oorbellen!

A beautiful earring in your first piercing, a small heart next to it and maybe an ear cuff a little higher up your ear. See, this is what makes choosing earrings really fun!

Because why wear the same earrings all the time when you can create all kinds of different combinations?

At Just Good Jewellery, we have hoop earrings in many sizes, from small 10 mm hoops to large 70 mm hoops. And we haven't even mentioned the hearts, pearls, birthstones, drop earrings and statement earrings yet.

But how do you combine them all without it becoming a jumble? We'll share our favorite ideas for a fun ear party. With one, two or three piercings. Or simply with an ear cuff added!

What exactly is an ear party?

An ear party is a combination of different earrings worn together. Think small hoop earrings, studs, drop earrings and ear cuffs.

For example, you can wear three different earrings in one ear, but even one piercing and an ear cuff can make a nice combination.

The idea is mainly to play with shapes, sizes and details.

A smooth hoop next to a beaded earring, for example. Or a small heart next to a larger hoop.

And no, they really don't all have to be exactly the same. We love that difference.

Start with a pair of earrings you really love

Do you have a pair of earrings you always reach for? Start with those.

Maybe they're your delicate 12 mm gold-colored hoop earrings. Or perhaps those eye-catching earrings with three hearts.

Then see which other earrings would look nice next to them.

With a slightly larger hoop, we might try a small stud, for example. And a minimalist hoop can be a really nice addition to an ear cuff.

So you don't have to choose three new pairs right away. Start with your favorite and build the combination around it.

Combining small and large hoop earrings: play with the sizes

This is perhaps the easiest way to put together an ear party.

Take two hoop earrings in different sizes and you'll have a nice combination right away.

At Just Good Jewellery, you can choose from slim hoop earrings in sizes such as 10, 12, 14 or 16 mm, but also from wider models and larger hoops.

Do you have two piercings? Then try a 16 mm hoop in your first piercing with a slim 10 mm hoop in your second.

Want to combine three piercings? Then we think this is a nice combination:
•    First piercing: a 16 mm hoop.
•    Second piercing: a slim 12 mm hoop.
•    Third piercing: a small stud.
This creates a nice progression from large to small.

But also try two hoops of the same size with different widths. For example, a wider 12 mm hoop next to a slim 12 mm model.

Same diameter, but a completely different look!

Hearts, beads and unique shapes: just fun to mix

An ear party doesn't have to consist only of round hoop earrings, of course. At Just Good Jewellery, we also have oval and heart-shaped hoop earrings with beads, hoop earrings with a twist and various earrings with hearts.

And you can create really fun combinations with them.

How about a heart-shaped stud next to a small smooth hoop? Or a drop earring with a heart, combined with a slim hoop in your second piercing?

For a slightly bolder look, you can also combine a textured statement stud with a minimalist hoop.

Our tip: choose one special detail and repeat it somewhere else. For example, a round hoop with beads next to an oval hoop with beads. The shapes differ, but the beads still make them match beautifully.
And if you love hearts, you can of course simply combine two different heart-shaped earrings.

An ear party with pearls, birthstones and natural stone

Do you like jewelry with color or unique materials? Then our earrings with pearls, birthstones and natural stone will certainly be fun to combine.

For example, we think a pearl earring next to a delicate gold-colored hoop looks really beautiful. Especially if you want a minimalist look with just one special detail.

And birthstone earrings are perfect for adding a little color.

At JGJ, we have birthstone earrings in flower shapes, among others. Such a small colored flower looks really nice next to a smooth hoop.

Natural stone can also look beautiful in an ear party. For example, combine an earring with natural stone with a simple hoop, so that the color and shape of the stone get all the attention.

By the way, you don't necessarily have to choose earrings that are exactly the same color. A small accent of color among your gold-colored or silver-colored favorites can actually be surprisingly nice.

An ear party with one piercing? Of course you can!

Do you only have one piercing per ear? No problem. You can still create fun combinations.

And this is where our ear cuffs come in handy.

You wear an ear cuff around the edge of your ear, without needing an extra piercing.

For example, wear a beautiful 14 or 16 mm hoop in your earlobe and place a minimalist ear cuff a little higher up your ear.

Or choose a slightly bolder hoop with a delicate ear cuff next to it.

This makes it look as if you're wearing multiple earrings, even though you only have one piercing.

Do you have no piercings at all? Then you can also create a nice jewelry look with one or more suitable ear cuffs.

When putting it on, make sure the ear cuff fits comfortably and securely. You don't have to squeeze it tightly. Follow the instructions for the chosen model.

Two or three piercings? These are our favorite combinations

Do you need a little inspiration? We would start with these combinations.

 Number of piercings Fun JGJ combination
1 piercing  16 mm hoop with an ear cuff higher up the ear
2 piercings, minimalist Slim 14 mm hoop with a slim 10 mm hoop
2 piercings, playful Drop earring with heart and a small heart-shaped stud
3 piercings, different sizes  16 mm hoop, slim 12 mm hoop and a small stud
3 piercings, with color  Smooth hoop, flower-shaped birthstone earring and a delicate stud
3 piercings, eye-catching Wide hoop, a small hoop and a textured stud


Of course, these are just ideas. You might actually think a large hoop looks much nicer next to two heart-shaped studs.

Be sure to try out different combinations. Sometimes you only discover in front of the mirror which earrings really look good together.

Large hoops or statement earrings? Let them stand out

And then, of course, we also have our large hoop earrings!

At JGJ, you can find hoops in sizes 30, 40, 50, 60 and even 70 mm. They deserve to get all the attention.

For example, wear a large gold-colored hoop with a simple shirt and a blazer. Add a delicate necklace and you'll have a beautiful jewelry look right away.

If you have multiple piercings and enough space between your earrings, you can wear a small stud next to your large hoop.

But one eye-catching pair is also perfectly fine.

The same goes for our statement earrings, such as the bold models, textured studs or larger heart-shaped designs.

Sometimes I would choose not to wear too much next to them. Then the shape of that one earring will stand out much more beautifully.

Wear gold-colored and silver-colored earrings together

Do you usually wear gold-colored earrings? Or do you prefer silver-colored ones?

As far as we're concerned, you don't always have to choose.

A silver-colored hoop next to a gold-colored hoop can look really nice. Especially when you combine different sizes.

Or wear a gold-colored stud with a silver-colored ear cuff.

Do you find it difficult to get started? Then choose two earrings with roughly the same shape, but in a different color.

And once you're used to that combination, you can easily add a third model.

Which ear party suits you?

A few small hoops with a heart-shaped stud, a combination of pearls and gold-colored hoops, or an eye-catching drop earring with an ear cuff added.

With all these different types of earrings, you can try something different every time.

And you really don't need six piercings for that. One or two piercings and a few nice earrings are more than enough.

So take a look at the earrings you already have and try another model next to them. Maybe that new combination will be your favorite soon!
