Ellen- this one is for you... I was unable to find my original source for the rings in question (posted on Vintage Lovlies Pt 2)... but found these substitutes- One Two and Three... this earring is actually circa the 1950's in its style- thus you may be able to find a wonderful replica at your local antique store (had to throw that in the spirit of Blog Action Day)...
This little inquiry got the wheels a-spinning... and I realized how often I am asked for my opinion on the pairing of earrings with bridal/bridesmaid options. My feeling is that there is no set answer. Your earrings will be dictated by the hairstyle, formality of the event, face shape, and neckline of the dress. That being said, my basic rule of thumb is that if you put the earrings on and they are a bit distracting then perhaps you need to entertain another option. Chandelier earrings look amazing on those with prominent features, but often overwhelm others-the same is true with studs... they can be elegant on one lass and a massive understatement on the next... use your best judgement and take a few cues from the red carpet...
