Think about it: If you're wearing a ring, but not waving it in front of your face, it might get overlooked. The same could be true of a bracelet. And if you have your back to someone, they likely won't appreciate the fabulous necklace you're wearing. But earrings are right in the line of sight. If someone sees your face, they will see your earrings. In fact, you can see someone's earrings from the front, side and back. So if you are really dressing up, the right earrings are essential.
