Types of Earrings

Earrings are the best, aren't they? When it comes to accessories, they may be the one piece of jewelry that can really stand alone. Who needs a bracelet or necklace when you have a refreshing pair of earrings? Although, earrings can also play a backstage role. It's all up to you.

Your earrings can peek out from behind your hair when you wear them down, or they could be the main event when you rock a ponytail or pixie cut. That's the beauty of earrings. For every mood, style, and outfit, there's a perfect earring to match.

If you're tired of wearing the same old earrings, read on or watch the video! We've shared five must-have earrings for your collection and have some fun options for those who like to stay on-trend.

1. Simple studs

Everyone needs a classic pair of studs to go with their everyday attire. Many people like to wear earrings all the time, and studs live up to that. They may be simple and small, but there is a style for everyone, from classic rounds and pearls to miniature stones and intricate designs.

Pro tip: Make sure your studs have gold or silver backing so they don't tarnish or turn green in the shower or pool. (Or, put a sticky note in your bathroom to remind you to take yours down!)

2. High-quality dangles

You want a pair (or two or three) of fine dangles for those fancy dinners and weddings. These don't have to be fine jewelry, but they should definitely have a bit of shine to them. Choose dangles made of silver, gold, beads, or gemstones. Wear them whenever you want to take your outfit to the next level.

3. Funky dangles

We're committed to filling your jewelry drawer with oversized and funky dangles to wear at brunch or to take you around the world on a cruise ship or the streets of London. Dangles are more upscale than basic everyday studs, but they really bring the color. 

4. Pearl or diamond earrings

Trust us, you'll love wearing a pair of pearl or diamond earrings when it's crunch time. These add a touch of elegance to any outfit, and they go with almost anything.

5. Hoop earrings

Hoops come in all shapes and sizes, and we don't discriminate. Choose the ones that make you feel great. You can pair them with a pair of chunky oversized tortoiseshells, slim metal hoops, or even cute little Huggies (these are mini hoops that fit over your ears).

A more stylish earring option

There you have it: the five earrings everyone needs.

But if you look around, you may have noticed that earrings have undergone quite a renaissance! There are many new types of earrings to wear, but here are three of our favorites. Whether they are declining in popularity or becoming a timeless classic, why not rock them while they're hot?

Cuff earrings are like mini bracelets designed just for your ears. They wrap around your earlobe. If you like a lot of bling on your ears, then you'll love wearing these and a pair in your pierced holes. That being said, with cuff earrings, everyone can wear earrings, even if their ears aren't pierced!

Threaded earrings are made for those of us who hate having those pesky backings poking our necks. These chic chains go through your piercings and hang free. If you have multiple earring holes, you can even loop them multiple times!

With all these earrings, you'll need an earring case to keep them safe. Meet the Wanderer. It's a travel jewelry box with earring rods for threaded earrings or studs and pockets for larger dangles and earrings. With its luxurious vegan leather look, it can double as your purse whether you're on a first date after work or traveling the world.
