Jewelry Design Guide: Earring Styles

Identifying the four basic earring types is easy. Identifying when to wear them can be a bit more tricky. Here is a breakdown:


earringsStud: Stud earrings are the skeleton key of accessories, they always work. You can wear stud earrings with a choker or a classic strand of pearls. Consider semi-precious stones by day and diamonds by night.

Celebrity JewelryDrop: This style is designed to accentuate your neck and jaw. Pull your hair up and show off your beautiful earrings. Drops may move a bit, but most stay stationary. Consider bright colors and eye-catching patterns like those found in our Green Beryl Drop Earrings.
     

Celebrity JewelryHoop: In terms of both functionality and style, size matters. Smaller hoops that sit snug against the ear are perfect for active wear. Larger hoops work well when your hair is let down and let loose for a night out. You may also be able to pull off larger hoops if you have short hair, so long as your head doesn't look smaller because of them. Consider experimenting with oblong hoops. Check out our Green Opal Pave Hoops or our Hammered Hoop with Grey Suede.


Dangle: Dangle earrings are attention grabbers, both for their length and the way they move. Tons of fun to wear dangles can reach down almost to the shoulder. Consider leather fringe or beaded hoops for daytime and crystal encrusted or gold filigree at night.
