MEN’S EARRINGS – ONE EAR OR BOTH?
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE YOUR MEN’S EARRINGS, READ THIS.
Left or right? Flush or claw? Pink or black? How you wear your earrings defines your style. Purchase with care. And wear in confidence.
The ‘rules’ for men's earrings
The crucial first question – right or left? In the 1980s, gay men wore an earring in the right ear as a coded signal – but nobody could ever remember if it was left or right, so that trend died out fast. These days men wear earrings in either or both ears, and you won’t catch anybody squinting at your ear in an attempt to guess your sexuality.
Men’s earrings set with oversized diamonds (or lookalikes) are increasingly popular: a trend started on the rap and hip-hop scene, where exuberant bling is used to define social status. A quick Google will show you the huge diamonds sported by stars like Jamie Foxx. Match the size of your ego with an enormous diamond, and leave the supercars in the garage.
Afraid of choosing a girly earring? Designers of men’s earrings have developed a distinctive style (which is handy to help you tell them from women’s earrings). Diamonds are often mounted in a flush setting, rather than the claw-style setting that’s typical for women’s diamonds. The stone will be flush to the frame, creating a sleek and masculine look. If you want an alternative to diamond, choose a signity zirconia, black carbon, or a pink sapphire. Huggies (manly hoops) are enduringly fashionable, for work or play. And the metal choice? Gold is popular, but steel and titanium are catching up fast.
The latest men’s earrings online
Homme Rock hand-picks the best trends and designers, giving you a shortcut to sure-fire style. From über-cool Brighton designer Denison Boston to established names like Seven London, Fred Bennett and the gorgeous Kirsten Sander, our selection covers the finest design talent in the UK. Make a seasonal trip to our site to geek-up on the latest trends (and grab a few for yourself).
Like most people, we try to stay current. We make sure we’ve got the latest men’s earrings from our designers, and we try to ensure that we’ve always got stock of your favourites. On the website, availability figures are refreshed every 15 minutes, including which colours and sizes are still available. Once you’ve ordered, sit back and expect a shiny, fat package in the post. (It might just improve your sex life, too.)
Buying men’s earrings as a gift?
If you’re buying jewellery for someone else, the choice can be even more daunting. That’s why our customer advisors are trained in helpfulness – to make your job easy. Drop us an email and get personalised advice tailored to the lucky blighter you’re buying for. Everything online, from earrings to cuffs, arrives in a designer gift box – so you don’t even have to fiddle about with gift-wrap.
If you hate them…
Send them straight back. One of the biggest worries reported by online shoppers is being unable to arrange returns or refunds. If your item is faulty or you simply change your mind, you can send it (in original condition) straight back to Homme Rock for a full refund.
