Worn by men and women alike, earrings are a staple jewelry item. Despite a nearly endless range of earring styles and designs, there are three fundamental earring types: studs, dangles and hoops.

Stud Earrings
Studs are small, comfortable, and unisex. Stud earrings are perhaps the most classic of all earring styles. Whether they are set with diamonds, precious or semi-precious gemstones, stud earrings are timelessly elegant and graceful.
Dangle Earrings
Dangle earrings, also referred to as drop earrings, decoratively hang from the earlobe. They are the most ornamental of the three basic earring types. Dangle earrings were designed to be eye-catching and glamorous, and are often set with sparkling, brilliantly colored, precious gemstones.
Hoop Earrings
Hoop earrings have a far wider range in size than studs, but are widely regarded as an elementary and essential earring design. Women with a more traditional taste in jewelry may prefer smaller hoops while women who are a little edgier may choose over-sized, thick hoop earrings. Platinum, gold and silver hoops may be set with Diamonds or Gemstones for an added touch of style.
Earring Care
To keep your earrings in good condition, it is important to wear and store them with care. The specific cleaning, washing and storing procedures may depend on the materials used in your earrings and on the earring design. It is important for you to take note of the materials in your earrings and to care for them accordingly. Because earrings are so varied in design and material, we can only offer some general earring care guidelines. These are tips and suggestions that apply to all Earrings regardless of their make, design, etc.
