Red Earrings

Thanks to their bold and fiery hue, red earrings can convey confidence and evoke strong emotions, especially passion, intrigue and vitality.  

Red ruby earrings often come to mind when thinking of symbols of love, with rubies once believed to be made from hardened fire that ignited your heart’s true desire.  

Other red gemstones, like garnet and pink tourmaline, are also thought to represent the power of love and can extend to friendship. Pink tourmaline is believed to symbolise happiness and compassion, like other varieties of pink earrings, while garnet can embody a certain lightness and vitality. 

Like some types of green and blue earrings, red gemstones are steeped in cultural and historical significance. Centuries ago, garnets were set into signet rings to signify royalty, while rubies are one of the most historically significant coloured gemstones, beloved by European royalty and first traded along China’s North Silk Road as early as 200 BC. 

With such rich symbolism, red gemstones can make for incredibly sentimental gifts. Red dress earrings like garnet halo studs are perfect for celebrating a 2nd wedding anniversary, symbolising a flame that will never go out, while ruby is the traditional 40th wedding anniversary gift, beautifully capturing a timeless love.

No colour seems to elicit emotion quite like red. It can ignite passion, inspire confidence, put a smile on one’s face and, most importantly, radiate love of all kinds. 

This evocative nature is what makes red gemstones such a stylish and sophisticated choice when it comes to putting together the perfect outfit, whether it’s for a day out with friends or a night on the town. 

Pair red drop earrings with an outfit in similar shades to create a clean and cohesive look. Use neutral tones like dusky pink, sandy beige or soft cream to help red and gold earrings stand out, adding a bright yet warm accent to your outfit.  

Gold and red earrings can also create a visually stunning contrast to the lush and equally vibrant green, so try wearing a ruby stud earring with a pair of emerald huggies for a stylish earring stack. 

Red earrings can also appear bolder and more intense when paired with beautiful black. Create a stark contrast by teaming red statement earrings with an all black look, bringing out their colour and brilliance while allowing your earrings to be the focal point.

Red stone earrings can be worn by anyone looking to add an elegant pop of colour into their jewellery collection.

For a subtle look, a pair of red stud earrings in ruby, garnet, or pink tourmaline will create a timeless feel. Or, for those who love the symbolism of this passionate and fiery red stone, red garnet earrings in a drop style are a bold choice.

Whatever your style, red stone earrings will always make a statement.
