Earring styles explained — studs to chandeliers and what they suit

Earrings are the everyday category — and the one where PHYSICS matters as
much as style (weight pulls, clips ache).

The families

• Studs — the uniform of jewellery; comfort and permanence.
• Drops — short vertical movement; office-friendly.
• Hoops — face-framing circles; from sleepers to statement.
• Chandeliers — length + movement + drama; evenings and events.
• Climbers/crawlers — along-the-ear-line modernity.
• Ear cuffs — no-pierce layering.

Pairing — round faces suit length (drops, linear chandeliers); angular
faces suit curves (hoops, teardrops); everything suits studs.

For makers — weight is the product spec: over ~6g per side and wearers
take them off by noon. Ear-wire quality and loop security are the
make-or-break details — the wirework guide covers the joints.
