With so many different types of diamond earrings out there, it's easy to find a style that matches your mood, outfit, or even your face shape.

Stud Earrings

Studs are the most straightforward and wearable kind of earring. They sit directly on the earlobe and don’t hang or move, which makes them perfect for daily wear. Whether you choose loose diamonds, pearls, gemstones, or simple gold balls, stud earrings are comfortable and low-maintenance. If you're exploring various types of earrings to build a basic collection, studs are a must.

Hoop Earrings

Hoop earrings form a loop that goes through the earlobe and comes in a range of sizes. From tight-fitting mini hoops to large, statement circles, hoops can match any vibe. Some are sleek and polished, while others come with textures or embellishments. Among the different kinds of earrings, hoops are especially known for their versatility and boldness.

Drop Earrings

Drop earrings hang just below the earlobe, often with a charm, stone, or decorative piece that stays in place. They’re a step up from studs without being too dramatic. These are great for work, brunch, or anytime you want something subtle but stylish.

SHOP DROP EARRINGS

Dangle Earrings

Unlike drops, dangle earrings are made to move. They swing with your motion, which adds a playful or elegant touch depending on the design. Think of chandelier styles, threaders, or multi-piece danglers. These earrings often stand out in a crowd and are perfect when you're dressing to impress.

Teardrop Earrings

Teardrop earrings have a distinct silhouette, rounded at the top and tapered at the bottom. They're graceful, often embellished with diamonds or pearls, and are a go-to for weddings or evening events. That said, they can easily transition into daywear with a simpler design.

Halo Earrings

A halo earring style features a central gem surrounded by a circle of smaller stones. This design enhances sparkle without needing a large stone in the center. You'll find halos commonly in stud and drop styles. They're a great option when you want a little extra shine without going too big.

SHOP HALO EARRINGS

Leverback Earrings

Known for their secure closure, leverback earrings hook through the ear and snap shut at the back. This mechanism keeps them snug and safe. You’ll often see leverbacks in drop or dangle designs, especially in pieces meant for daily wear or travel.

Earring Jacket

Earring jackets add a modern twist to simple studs. They feature a decorative back piece that peeks out from behind the earlobe. The front stays minimal, while the back does the talking, giving you a layered, trendy effect with minimal effort.
