No matter whether you are wearing them on a daily basis or there are requirements associated with some special day, earrings will always remain a quintessential piece of jewellery. They are always the most in numbers in every woman’s jewellery box and this is majorly due to the fact that they are available in different types for different occasions. Understanding all of them and particularly, the most trending pearl earrings will give you a better understanding of which one to wear and when, on what occasion. Here in this article, we will give you an overview of the most common types of earring available in the markets.
EARRING TYPES
STUD EARRINGS
These earrings tend to be very small and can sit snugly on the top of the ear lobe.
There is no dropping downwards or looping backwards or anything that is climbing upwards.
They are typically available in very simple designs and because of this, they are utterly comfortable to wear all day long.
They even look great with any outfit until you choose some specific colour of earrings and a dress with colour that is totally contrast.
Diamond studs are a jewellery box staple and one of the most popular styles of earrings.
DROP EARRINGS
Vendors of costume jewellery say that these earrings are ideal for those who are looking for earrings that are simple like studs, but there is some length present.
They hang below, down from the earlobe and in a majority of cases, they are totally stationary.
In short, it can be said that they look exactly like the stud earrings.
CLUSTER EARRINGS
The first thing you will notice about them is that these cluster earrings sit tightly on the top of the earlobe.
Unlike pearl earrings, these cluster earrings are comprised of several stones or gems.
These stones or gems are grouped together and from there, they get this name of "cluster earrings".
These decorative earrings can come in the form of a stud or have a slight drop.
DANGLE EARRINGS
They are very similar to drop earrings and just like them, they too hand down, below the ear lobe.
The only difference between them is that these dangle earrings feature a more intricate design.
Moreover, they also have more movement front and backwards as compared to standard earrings.
HOOP EARRINGS
According to the vendor, gold hoop earrings get their name from the shape that they come in, i.e. the hoop.
This hoop continues from the front of the earlobe to the back and in a majority of cases, they are round in shape.
But they can come in a variety of other shapes like triangles, squares, and ovals and range in size from small to large.
Smaller sized gold hoop earrings create a more formal look while the bigger ones often give a very dramatic appearance.
Those willing to get a more glamorous look can use a pair of diamond stud gold hoop earrings.
HUGGIE EARRINGS
These earrings actually hug the earlobes and from this, they get this name of huggie earrings.
They are ideal for those who want the look of a hoop earring without the risk of them catching or snagging.
