Today, earrings remain the most used adornment items. Conversely, when wearing an entire adornment, the earring is the most important element. This jewel can be made of platinum, silver or gold. Anyone can wear tahitian pearl earrings,even those who don't have pierced ears. So here we will see what are the different types of earrings, but also the different types of clasps.
Different types of earrings
Studs
Ear nails have the advantage of being very light and having a clasp that is not visible, as often placed behind the earlobe. This type of earring is also called "chips" and is the most common model in markets and jewelry stores. It is so easy to remove them, that depending on your desires and moods, you can change them from one day to the next and even mismatch them. There are so many models you'll have a hard time choosing!
Ear hoop
The earrings are special earrings, the stem of which forms a real hook. It simply happens in the earlobe and fits its shape. Most often this system is used for fancy earrings.
Leveler back
Sleepers are earrings similar to hooks. They have the same feature in the hook-shaped stem, but also have a clipable attachment at the back. For the record, at the time these earrings were worn only at night because of their great safety, but also, and especially to prevent the holes drilled from refilling. Its rounded stem and clip clasp on it provide comfort and safety. Nowadays, this type of earring is of course worn day and night.
Dangle
As the name suggests, earrings are all earrings that hang beyond the earlobe. Compared to the hook system, this can be ear nail type, sleepy type or even in the shape of a hook.
Ear clip
Ear clips are good for those who don't have pierced ears. Similar to sleepers, they have no stems running through the earlobe. The earring is held by a pebble (the support) and by the clipping closure that pinches the lobe to be held. The downside is that this system can sometimes be painful.
Hoop and half hoop
Creoles are also known as "rings." These are round earrings, of varying diameter. Having now diversified, we find different shapes (square, rectangular, oval, heart) but also smooth or patterned.
The half-creoles are similar, but the loop is not completely finished. These earrings are generally smaller than Creoles, but the diversity is all the more important, with the possibility of having diamonds for example.
The earcuffs
Earcuffs are more jewelry than earrings. Typically, they are only worn in one ear and they have two tether systems.
Different types of clasps
Strollers and screw clasps
They are perhaps the most used, the strollers are in the shape of a butterfly. They are made of the same metal as the rod. This system can be found on the ear nails.
As for screw clasps, they too are used for ear nails. It's an even more reliable system, but it's not very practical when you want to take off your earrings every day.
Drop
The stem is crochet-shaped and at the back, there is a retractable part that closes on it to ensure optimal safety.
The ratchets
Consisting of a moving part, they have a small rod that closes in the hole of the earring.
Studs
As mentioned a little above, these are clasps that pinch the earlobe.
Hoops
The hooks have the same name as the earring that composes them. The stem forms a hook in such a way that it composes the clasp itself.
Conclusion
There's something for every taste and a craving for earrings. Similarly, each earring has a very precise clasp. The whole is to be embellished according to your desires. Now it's up to you to make your choice!
