Top and Drop : one of the most popular styles of earrings, this one consists of two pieces, which can be two similar looking stones with the bottom one generally being larger. One sub-type is detachable, when you can take the larger hanging drop off and use it only for evening or special events. These are called day to night earrings. The top section should be hanging barely below the ear-lobe. 

Stud :  studs have been widely used from the beginning of 1900 to this day. Their trend was called in due to high collars and high-neck sweaters being difficult to be worn with the longer style earrings. Studs are very popular to be worn to this day, they represent a held back yet overly elegant style.

Girandole : this specific earring has to have 3 stones suspended at the bottom area, connected to a larger central piece that’s also interconnected with another smaller piece. The use of artistic bows and knots is also prevalent for this style that’s a simplified version of the chandelier earrings.

Button :  this is  a still very fashionable item that has a shape of a button and it’s either worn alone or with an additional hanging piece attached to it. Buttons were widely used in form of clips which required no holes in the ears, as they practically cover the whole earlobe. They can be made out of any material, easy to wear. They come with screw-backs, clips and pierced versions too.

Drop : this is another held back style similar to study, but while stud is in the earlobe, drop as its name says would have its key stone dangling from it, going slightly hang from the earlobes making it look elegant. The stones used are generally in decent size. They can be made out of various precious metals.
