From everyday studs to statement hoops, earrings are the most versatile jewelry category. This guide explains earring styles, metals for sensitive ears, and how to match earrings to your face shape and lifestyle.
Studs sit close to the ear and suit every occasion; hoops range from small everyday huggies to large statement circles; drop and dangle earrings add movement and frame the face; chandeliers are dramatic pieces for evening wear. Earrings can also be sold as single items for mixed or curated looks.
For sensitive ears, choose 14K or 18K gold, platinum, titanium or surgical steel. Avoid nickel-heavy alloys and low-cost plated metals that can cause itching and redness. Gold-filled and gold-plated pieces are affordable, but the coating wears off with time, so solid gold or titanium is safer for long-term daily wear.
Round faces are flattered by long drops and angular designs; oval faces suit most styles; heart-shaped faces look best with teardrops and small hoops; square faces are softened by rounded hoops and studs. As a rule, choose earrings that add length to wider faces and width to narrow faces.

Remove earrings before swimming, showering and sleeping. Clean gold and diamond studs with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and store them separately to avoid scratches. Check hinged posts and butterfly backs regularly for looseness.
