Pendant earrings

Among customers of our Tango online jewellery store, drop earrings are in high demand. This is due to their versatility and the wide variety of designs available. With precious gemstone inserts, in plain silver or gold, with or without engraving — these earrings remain elegant and eye-catching thanks to their refined design without excessive bulk.

What Are Drop Earrings and Why Are They So Popular

Drop earrings are an enhanced version of classic stud earrings. They are also attached to the earlobe but are more substantial, consist of several movable elements, and feature a different type of clasp. If you’re looking to add a striking accent to your look, dangle earrings are an excellent choice thanks to:

• Femininity — regardless of the design, the elongated shape always looks light, elegant, and delicate;
• Statement appeal — the right choice of material, shape, and size helps highlight facial features and the neckline;
• Versatility in styling — they can be easily combined with other jewellery such as bracelets, pendants, and rings.

Despite their high popularity among women, some designs are also suitable for men. This type of accent adds a stylish finishing touch to an outfit and can be worn even with classic, formal looks.

Main Types of Drop Earrings

Earrings with pendants are the most common type of drop earrings. They feature a distinctive, more substantial pendant with a frame and clasp. There may be one or several pendants, creating a cascading effect. For lovers of minimalism, chain earrings are a great option — they can be simple chains or feature miniature pendants combined into a cohesive, stylistic composition.

Which Metal to Choose for Drop Earrings

When choosing a precious metal, personal preference should be the main guideline. Allergic reactions to silver or gold are not uncommon, so it is always important to check the hallmark. If there are no restrictions, consider both options.

Gold Drop Earrings

Gold drop earrings are associated with exclusivity and status. They are often chosen as meaningful, commemorative pieces and worn on special occasions, although they can also be suitable for everyday wear. Earrings made of red or yellow gold may not suit everyone, while the refined elegance of white gold is a universal choice with no limitations.

Silver Drop Earrings

Unlike gold, silver is a precious metal that is easy to shape, while the price of finished jewellery remains affordable. Silver drop earrings are an excellent choice for everyday wear. They allow you to experiment with different styles depending on the concept of a particular look.

Types of Clasps and How to Choose

Before purchasing drop earrings, it is important to pay attention to the type of clasp, as it often determines how comfortable the jewellery will be to wear. Popular options include:

• English clasp — passes in a curved shape through the piercing and is secured at the back with a special locking mechanism.
• French clasp — a hook that passes through the piercing without additional fixation.
• Stud (post) fastening — passes through the piercing like a pin and is secured at the back with a special backing, which may be pushed on or screwed on.

Even if your ears are not pierced, you can choose earrings with a clip-on clasp. This type of fastening snaps onto the earlobe without affecting the visual aesthetics of the piece. However, it is not suitable for continuous wear and is best removed at night.

Stud fastenings are ideal for lightweight everyday jewellery, while English and French clasps are better suited for more distinctive, statement designs with greater weight and presence.

Stone Settings: Which Option to Choose

To add a striking accent to precious metals, you can choose drop earrings with gemstone inserts. Jewellers often use:

• Precious stones: emerald, sapphire, diamond;
• Natural stones: pearls, quartz;
• Semi-precious stones: amethyst, topaz, garnet.

More affordable designs may feature synthetic stone replicas. Popular options in this category include cubic zirconia and Swarovski crystals. When choosing, aesthetics often play a key role. Semi-precious stones are frequently selected for their personal significance, as many people believe in having their own “lucky” stone that reflects their individuality.

How to Choose Drop Earrings

When choosing earrings, it’s important to consider not only the design and material but also how they complement your appearance. Those with an oval face shape can wear almost any style, while other shapes require a more thoughtful approach. Rounded designs suit elongated faces best, while small, delicate earrings without heavy accents work well for round faces.
