Earrings for Every Moment
The concept of ear adornment is centuries old and has become a universally endorsed idea everywhere. We love earrings, and a vast amount of design variation is available and relevant to today’s stylish women. ( Mostly Women, O.K.? Everybody is invited! )
To better understand and refine our understanding, we have divided the earring world into three categories: button style, including studs, Hoops, and drop style earrings. Every earring can fit within this classification system, which can be further subdivided to refine these styles even more precisely.

Button-style earrings are the most classic of style. Any earring primarily worn directly on the ear is a button earring in our book. Small button earrings are usually referred to as studs. Studs often have diamonds or gemstones set into precious metals such as yellow gold, white gold, platinum, and silver. Studs can be any design and don’t require gems but are often adorned with something small and precious. Bigger Button Earrings can be of any style variation with or without gemstones. They can also range in size and scale. The only fundamental limitation is weight. At some point, weight is an uncomfortable limiting factor in all earrings, which informs the practical size limit of button earrings.
Hoop Earrings are one of the three main categories of earrings. Hoops are any design that goes around the ear, like a circle, with any variation of that concept. Hoops can have gemstones or not and can be of any size, from small “huggies“ to giant hoops. If they are not unbearably heavy, hoops can get big and crazy.
The third of the three categories of Earrings we use is Drop Earrings. Drop Earrings are anything that hangs below the ear. Short drops, all the way to “Shoulder Dusters,” vary in length, are elegant, and always relevant. Short-drop earrings of many styles are timeless and always hot. Longer drop earrings become statement pieces that draw the eye and enhance the body with drama and movement.
Whatever your taste or style, there is an earring that will add to your wardrobe and may even become part of your uniform. Express yourself with earrings of any style that appeal to your taste, and enjoy the treat of classic adornment that has been desirable throughout history and never more than the moment.
