Blue is one of the most popular hues of the rainbow when it comes to style and fashion in North America. Accordingly there are many blue stones used in sterling Silver earrings for the women’s jewelry market. Blue sapphire in earrings is perhaps the most popular not necessarily because it is the birthstone of September but because blue is such a popular color.

    When blue sapphires are set in sterling silver they look great because usually the sterling silver earring mountings are rhodium plated giving it a bright white finish that is the perfect backdrop for a dark blue sapphire gemstone whether set in sterling silver stud earrings, dangle earrings or huggie earrings.

    Matched pairs in blue sapphire are easy to come by for use in sterling silver earrings. The most sought after shapes for sapphire matched pairs include oval, round, Emerald and trilliant. Round sapphires are of course the most popular for use in silver stud earrings.

    They make great birthstone earrings as well as simple blue gemstone studs for accessorizing with every day. These earrings go great with every day wear like blue denim pants, skirts and jackets. They also go great with work wear like navy skirts and jackets with white blouses. The traditional black pants suit worn by many women to work goes great with dangle blue sapphire earrings.

    The most common type of sterling silver earrings for every day wear include stud earrings, hoop earrings and drop earrings.
