Ah, Santa, in terms of earrings I like either kind, but if they dangle they'd better not dangle too low as I don't have a long neck! What I am looking for, perennially it seems, is a good pair of everyday hoop earrings in either silver or gold. I keep losing one, so I have a fine selection of mis-matched ones at the moment and it's always interesting to see if anyone notices that they don't match. Or if they are too polite to mention it.
