There are many types of earrings. They can be classified into four categories: studs, hoops, dangles and drops. Studs are the most common type of earring and they come in a variety of shapes, colours and materials. Hoops are generally circular or semi-circular pieces that hang from the lobe to the bottom edge of the outer ear. Dangle earrings have chains or wires that connect them to a post at their top end which hangs down from behind your ears. Drops also hang down but these ones rest on your shoulders rather than dangling below your ears.

Stud earrings are a classic and elegant piece of jewellery. They come in many different shapes and sizes, but they all have one thing in common: the post goes through your piercing hole and securely attaches by a butterfly backing. Wearing a simple diamond stud or pearl stud is considered an elegant classy style. Studs also look great when you want to mix up your style from day-to-night with just a change of jewellery.  Stud earrings have been around since the late 1800's when women would use them as sewing needles and pins. The first ones were made from gold or silver metal with a small ball at the end that was hammered into place to make it stand out more against fabric or skin.

Hoop earrings are a classic look that never goes out of style. They're perfect for any occasion and can be worn with anything from casual outfits to formal wear. Hoop earrings come in many different sizes, shapes, colours and materials so you'll always find the right pair for your personal style. The most common type of hoop is the large round one which goes all the way around your ears. These are often worn by women who want to look more feminine or sexy. They can also be worn with a dress that has a low neckline so you'll show just enough skin but not too much.

Dangle earrings are a type of earring that hangs from the earlobe. They can be found in many shapes and sizes, but they all have one thing in common: they dangle. Dangle earrings can be worn with any outfit because their style is so versatile. You could wear them to dress up or dress down your look depending on what you're wearing - if you want to go for a more formal look, wear them with a nice suit; if you want to go casual, wear jeans and t-shirt.

Drop earrings are really popular in the fashion world. They can be worn with anything from a casual outfit to a business suit. They usually hang down at least an inch below your earlobe, but they don't have to be this long if you prefer shorter ones. One of the best things about drop earrings is that they're so versatile! You can wear them for any occasion and with any style!
