Studs, Hoops or Drops? How to Choose the Right Earrings

Earrings can change the feel of an outfit more than almost any other accessory. Here's how to pick the right style for the moment.

Studs: everyday sparkle

Studs sit close to the ear, so they're comfortable all day and work with everything from office wear to weekend outfits. They're also the easiest earrings to give as a gift. Try the Stilla Attract Stud Earrings for a single classic crystal, or the Volta Bow Earrings for something a little playful.

Hoops: modern and versatile

Hoops frame the face and move with you. Smaller pavé hoops are polished enough for daytime, while larger or sculptural designs make a statement in the evening. Look at the Constella and Dextera collections.

Drops: made for occasions

Drop earrings catch the light with every movement, which makes them ideal for weddings, parties and dinners out. Wear your hair up to let them shine. The Mesmera and Millenia drop earrings are our favourites.

A quick tip

If you're wearing a statement necklace, choose studs. If your neckline is bare, a drop or hoop earring will do the work.
