Hoops
Hoop earrings are one of the easiest go-to earrings because of its versatility. Whether you are wearing them into the boardroom or the classroom, hoops add character to your look without drawing too much attention.
They are flattering for almost all face shapes especially for people with a narrow face structure. With the help of earrings, hoops can add curvature to the face to make it look fuller.
There is an overwhelming amount of hoop styles out there.
So, what should you choose?
We find it’s best to stick with simpler classic designs. Our Square Geometric hoops is a great day-to-day option. Its striking design complements your face without being too overpowering, which makes it perfect for the work setting or a coffee outing with friends. For a more edgy and bold look, our Square Tortoise Shell Hoops might be the ones for you.
Studs
Studs are timeless classics, and for good reason!
They add a simple, subtle and understated glamour to your look.
Pair our Lovely Opal Stud stud or Floral Chunky Stud with a casual outfit to elevate your everyday look.
Pearls and diamonds are common motifs in stud earrings because of the rarity and exclusivity of these gemstones.
Simulated pearls and cubic zirconia are affordable high-quality counterparts to pearls and diamonds.
Our Opal Pearl Studs is exactly what you may love with the opal surrounded by dainty faux pearls for a high-quality piece within a budget.
The unique setting of this pearl is contrasted against the gold adds a final touch of elegance to any ensemble.
Ear Jackets
Studs aren’t fancy enough for you? Ear jackets are a trend you need to know about, if you don’t already!
Ear jackets, like the name suggests, wraps around your stud earrings to turn them into bold, eye-catching pieces.
Ear jackets are attached to the backing of your earring and you can wear them with your diamond or pearl studs to give it that extra shine!
Drops
Drop earrings are earrings that drop just below the earlobe. The ornament piece of the earring is stationary and does not move.
The “drop” part of the earring usually comes from the attachment piece that will move slightly along with the wearer’s movements.
One of our store favorites is the Black Drop with thick gold hoops which feature a hoop plated in 14K gold.
They make a great everyday earring or a gift for a loved one!
Dangles
Dangle earrings are similar to drop earrings, but their movement is a lot more substantial than that of drop earrings. Dangle earrings hang below the earlobe and sway to and from.
Our Purple Arches are highly loved for its versatility. The simple design makes these earrings the perfect pairing for casual weekdays or date nights.
