Whether it's simple studs or dramatic dangles, earrings are the quintessential no-fuss piece of jewelry – helping you look put together but not overdone. From more modern earring styles like ear cuffs and threaders to classic earrings like diamond studs and gold hoops, we've got you covered with the basics on all the different types of earrings and earring backs.
Hoop earrings are shaped like hoops and loop from the front of the earlobe to the back. While most hoop earrings are round, they can come in varying shapes like triangles, squares, and ovals, and range in size from small to large. Smaller hoops create an understated look while larger hoop earrings provide for a more dramatic effect. For a glamorous look, opt for a pair of in and out diamond hoops.
Stud earrings tend to be on the small side and sit snuggly on top of the ear lobe without dropping downward, looping backward, or climbing upward. Typically featuring a simple design, studs are comfortable to wear and look great with any outfit. Diamond studs are a jewelry box staple and one of the most popular styles of earrings.
If you want an earring that's still simple but has a little bit of length to it, a delicate drop earring might be just what you are looking for. Drop earrings hang down below the earlobe and are typically stationary, almost like an extended stud earring.
Cluster earrings sit tightly on top of the earlobe and are comprised of several stones or gems grouped together to create a cluster. These decorative earrings can come in the form of a stud or have a slight drop.
Dangle Earrings
Similar to the drop earring, dangle earrings also hang down below the earlobe. Dangle earrings typically feature a more intricate design and have more movement to them than a standard drop earring.
Huggie Earrings
Huggie earrings hug the earlobe, wrapping snuggly around it. These mini hoops are ideal for those that want the look of a hoop earring without the risk of them catching or snagging.
Chandelier Earrings
Chandelier earrings are a type of dangle earring with a shape that resembles an ornate crystal chandelier. Chandelier earrings exude elegance and femininity and are thought to be the most luxurious of all the earring styles.
