Earrings are rapidly becom
ing the most important fashion
accessory of our time. In recent
years a terrific excitement has
invaded the world of earrings.
Styles of earrings vary as
much as types of people, but the
agreement of their overall
popularity is resounding.
"Rhinestones are hot!” says
Chrstine Vogue of Brooks, in
Valley River Center. On
average, the cash register at
Brooks rings to the tune of the
100 to 150 pairs of earrings that
are sold each day.
Jay Jacobs, also at Valley
River Center, sells a variety of
earrings with laces, though
these aren’t as popular as other
styles says a Jay Jacobs clerk.
Dangling, large and rhinestone
earrings are the fastest selling,
according to Audrey Durbie. Jay
Jacob’s sell around 100 pairs per
day, and like Brooks, their
prices range from $3 to $18.
Both stores have a good selec
tion of what are called “weird,”
neon or fluorescent earrings.
Making a comeback are the
long-beaded earrings of the ’60s
according to Sandra Edgemon
of the Emporium. The varieties
are astounding; anything goes.
Materials include wood,
porcelain, coral, plastic, pearls,
gem stones, liquid silver and
metal alloys.
Another fashion trend is the
triple-pierced ear. A move
toward a “three in one, two in
the other” asymmetrical com
bination is swiftly catching on.
Wearing unmatched pairs of
earrings is a growing fad.
Besides being able to use one
earring if the other is lost,
friends can share or exchange
earrings.
There is also a great demand
for Laurel Burch designer earr
ings according to Tamiko
Shibahara of Valley River
Center’s Meier & Frank, a store
that sells about 100 pairs per
week. Their prices range bet
ween $14 to $29.
Earrings reflect the per
sonalities of those who wear
them. Their influence on
fashion is undeniable.

Delicate to dangling: Earring styles vary with the whims of the
person whose ear they adorn.
