Types of Earrings

                                        
Earrings are classical pieces of jewelry that add beauty and style to any look. They have been around since ancient times and they are still popular nowadays. 
 
For many people, it can be challenging to know which kind of earrings can bring out the characteristics of their face and outfit. 
 
XIMIVOGUE came up with a guide to help you be familiar with the main types of earrings. 
 
01 Stud earrings
 
As its name suggests, stud earrings are earrings shaped like studs that are placed directly on the earlobe. 


Simple Tail Earrings
 
Typically featuring a simple design, stud earrings can be worn with a wide selection of jewelry pieces and look great with any outfit on various occasions. 
 
These types of earrings come in different shapes, sizes, and designs. Unlike other earrings, they do sit snugly on top of the earlobe without dangling down. 
 
02 Drop earrings
 
If you want a pair of earrings that are still simple but have a little bit of length to them, then a pair of drop earrings that drop below the ears might be just what you are looking for.

They are usually with a gem, a pearl, or another ornament that hangs at the bottom. Some styles are mobile while others are fixed. 
 
Like a tiny water droplet, this kind of earring is the perfect choice for a subtle statement. 
 
03 Dangle earrings
 
Just as their name describes, dangle earrings have long embellishments suspended from the earlobe. Sometimes they have a thin crescent wire to hold the earrings.

Similar to the drop earrings, dangle earrings also hang down below the earlobe. Dangle earrings typically have a more intricate design and feature continuous movement. 
 
Focusing on looseness and volume, dangle earrings are decorative and can feature a wide range of designs, from simple chains to tassels. 
 
04 Hoop earrings
 
Hoop earrings, as the name indicates, are round earrings shaped like hoops that create a striking statement.
