Though they are small, earrings give the world glimpses into our personalities. Earrings are the perfect form of assertiveness, revealing so much with so little. These are your earrings, your expression.

If you want to project strength, whimsy or elegance, finding the right earrings will do that for you: from power pearls to no-fuss studs and OTT statement sparkles, here’s a breakdown of What Your Earrings Say About You.

You are authentic and upfront but always diplomatic. You’re a traditionalist, and love life’s little rituals. You always manage to bring a touch of class to the everyday in some small way, whether it’s the delicate teacups you serve up with finger sandwiches, the charms on your cocktail glasses or the folded napkins at your dining table.

There is always a tasteful flash about you – from the gemstones in your ears to your daily updo. You’re a minimalist, but extravagant in the way you do everything: it might be simple, but it’s always the best. You have a gift for throwing parties and entertaining and love order, where you’ll be found with a glass of champagne, prosecco or any other sparkling wine – chased by cups of teas for rehydration

You’re no fuss and low maintenance, keeping life simple. You’re always on the go and likely to lead a healthy lifestyle — with your studs fitting in nicely everywhere you go, right from the gym to the office. You’re more of the quality versus quantity kinda gal, feeling most comfortable in intimate situations.

You are careful about mind, body and spirit and know what you want, with a plan for the next step. You are career focused and know exactly who you are – and aren’t afraid to show this. You obsessively love your gin, intimately knowing all the brands and preferring to get right into the botanicals. You’ll enjoy it with a refreshing tonic from a goblet with a sprig of rosemary – the Mediterranean way.

Have multiple studs? You want it all – and deserve it.

Roll out the red carpet for this bold beauty. The epitome of class and sophistication, cluster and chandelier earrings are for the daring — especially if you choose to wear them with the casual uniform of white tshirt and jeans. You know how to act like a star, showing confidence and great fashion style.

When you’re enjoying a tipple, you’ll start with an Espresso Martini and continue with any other high-end cocktail. You’re always prepared to take centre stage. You’ll be stopped frequently by everyone asking “where did you get those sparkles?”

Distinctive and exotic, you live an alternative lifestyle and enjoy going against the grain. You are a trendsetter and influence others in your own way: you don’t need social media to prove anything. You love your art, walking through museums and art exhibits on your own while feverishly following music and bands with a soul that goes deep. You talk in innuendo and quote proverbs while drinking straight tequila.

Your earrings capture your uniquely carefree spirit. You have an understated style that doesn’t need to be shouted from the rooftops: you just are. You are more than average but don’t sway into the extremes. You are fun and people love being around you because you allow others to share the light with you. You love long nights, deep conversations sharing bottles of red wine, with your earrings adding pops of colour and playfulness to the conversation.

You’re friendly, creative and have a fun social life. Just like your hoops, you’re open to new experiences, and love meeting new people. You are extroverted with a big personality and always have lots to say with plenty of sass thrown in for good measure.

As the life of the party, you’ll be found handling vodka cocktails but will rest on crisp white wines across the night. Your light is your superpower – so you’ll always be surrounded by people who love to live in this light with you.

We look up to you. You’ve grown up from the boss b’tch ho hoop to the huggie. You’ve evolved from the fun-loving OTT social creature into the dependable, power professional.

Reliable and in charge, you’re the one tying up loose ends bringing order to chaos. When you’re letting your hair down, you don’t mind imbibing on a few rosés here and there.

You certainly like to stand out and make a statement. You know who you are and you’re not afraid to show it – or say it. The bigger, the bolder: there are no limits with you. You radiate confidence and have a specific eye for design, showcasing your unique flamboyant style in your clothes and attitude.

When it comes to fashion, you’re not afraid to be daring. You take joy from the obscure, seeing fun where others may not see anything at all while sipping on Elderflower Bellinis. Sexy and feminine, you are that little more extra without needing to steal the limelight.

You are creative with a unique sense of style, dressing for yourself. You’re a one-of-a-kind – and your jewellery says this about you. You embrace your sensuality and are most certainly not a basic b’tch – which means no one else in the room will be wearing what you are.

You’ll be found handling cranberry vodkas or Frangelico and straight lime on the rocks in a tall glass, sitting back alternating between being a participant and listener in deep conversations and amusing tales.

You exude a sense of superiority and present an air of “don’t you know who I am?” A unique statement unto themselves, your earrings are bold – and so are you without overwhelming others.

You love vintage styles, presenting these with a fearless attitude while enjoying amaretto sours. Your confidence can be intimidating, but you’ll always attract authentically secure people with such bright and audacious charm.

With that timeless, classic look, pearls exude purity and innocence – and that you are in total control. Want to portray forceful leadership qualities? Power pearls say you are fiercely feminine.

You’re always keeping things together, so a cappuccino to start with cups of tea in your favourite teacup and saucer are your go-to, to keep you powering through your day.
