Different Types of Earrings
Understand how studs, drops, hoops and more elaborate silhouettes differ in construction and visual proportion, then choose the expression that suits you.
READ MOREShop Everyday Chic drop earrings with a single suspended accent, from softly colored beads to polished sculptural forms that sit below the earlobe.
A drop directs attention toward one focal element. Its shape and the distance below the lobe determine whether the effect feels subtle or statement-making. Try comparing the proportion with earrings you already enjoy wearing.
From understated details to expressive interpretations of the drop silhouette.
Independent designers and established names worldwide.
Typically under $200
A changing selection chosen for creativity and everyday expression.
One carefully placed detail gives drop earrings their clarity. In the Everyday Chic edit, decorative surfaces, color and approachable styling make this a versatile alternative to elaborate hanging designs.
Color, texture and shape bring a fresh point of view to the drop earring. A single bead or sculptural component can have more impact than a complicated arrangement when its proportions are well judged.
For a quieter look, select a drop that barely extends below the lobe. A longer, brighter interpretation introduces a clear focal point without the multiple moving elements of a chandelier.
“A single detail can make a beautiful impression.”
Explore drops through Little Luxuries, Fine Treasures and Haute Joaillerie, comparing distinct approaches to materials, proportion and craftsmanship.
