first you look to see what color of jewlery she tends to wear the most - gold or silver (go with white gold instead of silver to get away from the tarnish problem)
second - stay away from long danglies etc etc, they are special occasion earrings and useless for every day use. (Office - working girls with long danglies or too fancy of jewelry tend to get labeled)
third, stay with a stud type... look at what she has stonewise to see if she prefers one cut over another... marquis versus princess etc (you don't need to know the cut 'name' just see what shape it is and tell the jeweler, they will know)
fourth... no more than 1/4 ct per ear. 1/3 ct if you can find them are plenty large enough... 1/4 ct would be just as nice. Get them too big and you are back to the same place as the danglies... too gaudy looking. And if you go out to bars, a loss of a large stone is hard to swallow financially... you want to stay in the range that can be replaced withuot mortgaging the farm.
The trick is, you want a pair that will go just as well with jeans as they would with a nice evening gown.
