If you don’t know the name of those cool earrings that you saw on someone, and you want to find similar ones, and even those that look perfect on you, we will reveal all the secrets. Of course, the shapes, designs and styles of earrings are endless. We will consider the most common and popular options.
Carnations or studs
This is the classic and most versatile form of earrings, which we are familiar with as soon as our ears are pierced. Stud earrings can be of different sizes, shapes and designs, their main distinguishing feature is that they do not hang from the ear, but sit directly on the lobe. They are fastened with a shift, which is hidden from the outside by a decorative element, and at the back passes into a stud fastener.
Rings of the Congo
Congo are round earrings in the form of a ring, they are also called hoops. They are considered the most ancient type of earrings, they were especially common in Africa, hence the name. The diameter of the ring can be different, from miniature 2 cm in diameter, to very large ones. They can be both simple and with stones or other decorative elements on the ring.
chandeliers
The name of this type of earrings comes from the French chandelier - a candelabra or chandelier. All because of their complex design, just like a luxurious chandelier. Chandeliers are usually multi-level, richly decorated with stones or rhinestones that sparkle in the light, hanging slightly from the earlobe.
Climbers
By design, these earrings are similar to studs, only elongated. They are named climbers from the English word "climb" - to climb. Visually, they look like they are climbing up the earlobe. Some models seem to imitate a composition of several earrings, but in fact, only one puncture is needed for such an ornament.
Jackets
Another metamorphosis of classic carnations, which has entered the trends. Jackets are such double earrings, where there is also an ornament on the back clasp of the stud that peeks out from below because of the earlobe.
Bilateral ala Mise en Dior
Mise en Dior is an iconic earring design in which two balls of different sizes are connected by a shift through the ear. Visually, it looks like jackets, but in this model, the emphasis is on the fact that there is also an ornament on the back of the earlobes, and they can be worn in different directions. Now there are many variations of reversible earrings, not only balls from Dior.
Chain earrings - broaches
Very laconic and refined form of earrings. There are models with one chain, only in front, and there are models with two chains of different lengths - front and back. The chain can be simple and minimalist, or it can be decorated with stones - at the tip or along the entire length.
Earrings with pendants
The appearance of such earrings can be absolutely anything, it all depends on the pendant. The pendant is attached to the base of the earring and floats freely in the ear. It can be of any size and design: from small and neat with stones to large and decorative.
Tassel earrings
They can be made of any material: threads, beads, leather fringe, etc. The main distinguishing feature is the similarity with a brush. There are models with small tassels, and there are long ones hanging over the shoulders. The color of these earrings can be absolutely any.
Unpaired and mono earrings
Asymmetry is the trend of this season. Unpaired earrings are simply earrings that look like they are from different sets, but at the same time they are combined with each other. For example, it can be a carnation with one stone plus a multi-layered chandelier, which are made in the same color. A mono earring is an earring worn alone, in one ear.
Ear cuffs (with and without puncture)
Cuff is an earring that seems to hug the ear. It can be worn both on the lobe and on the lateral cartilage. There are cuffs that require a puncture, but most models are attached using the clamp principle.
Clips
Clip-on earrings are earrings for those who do not have pierced ears. They are held on the ear by pressure between the front and back of the earring, which can be adjusted. Some are attached with magnets, most often these are small clips-studs. In general, clip-on earrings have many variations and designs, so girls without piercings always have a choice.
Tunnels
In order to wear tunnels, the puncture in the earlobe must be stretched. The stretching diameter can be any, it all depends on your desire. An earring-tunnel is inserted into the stretched puncture, which, as it were, wraps around the lobe from the inside of the puncture. Most tunnels are hollow, that is, they look like a hoop or ring, and a through hole appears at the puncture site.
Selection of earrings for the shape of the face
Now let's look at which earring models are suitable for a particular face shape.
Oval face shape
Owners of an oval face shape can wear almost any earrings. The only thing with which it is recommended to exercise caution is excessively massive clip-on earrings or studs with short and at the same time large pendants.
But such a face is ideal for earrings with long drops, triangles, hoop earrings and any other elongated shapes.
Face shape "Circle"
Chain earrings look good with a round face shape - they visually lengthen the face, giving it an oval outline. You can also safely wear carnations or neat pendant earrings. Congo rings or massive chandeliers should be avoided if you do not want to add even more roundness to the face.
Face shape "Heart"
This face shape has a wide forehead and a narrow chin. To give volume to the lower part of the face, choose chandeliers, tassel earrings or massive pendants.
Face shape "Square"
For a square face, the forehead, cheekbones, and chin are roughly in line. To add smooth lines to the face, wear voluminous congo rings or rounded pendants. It is better to stay away from square studs or other forms of earrings with square elements.
Face shape "Rectangle"
The correct slightly elongated shape of the face, the owner of which can afford almost everything that the soul desires. Rectangle fits any earrings. The only thing is that you should not go too far with jewelry that has large pendants expanding at the bottom, like massive pears and triangles.
Face shape "Rhombus" (diamond)
Diamond is distinguished by pronounced cheekbones, which are wider than the forehead and chin. Climbers or ear cuffs go well with this face shape, you can also wear chandeliers with a wide horizontal line.
