Earring Styles
Studs
Solitaire or stud earrings are timeless styles featuring a single gemstone or diamond set in a precious metal backing, worn close to the ear to highlight the gemstone's color and sparkle. Ideal for daily wear, their size can also make them elegant for special occasions.
Typically, stud earrings consist of a head holding the gemstone attached to a post that goes through the ear piercing, secured with a backing. Backings can be push-back, sliding onto the post for easy wear, or screw-back, providing extra security especially for larger earrings.
Stud earrings create the illusion of the gemstone floating on the ear, enhancing its natural beauty or diamond sparkle subtly. Their smaller size and ease of wear make them suitable for girls and women of all ages. Universally flattering across skin tones and face shapes, studs are a reliable gift choice. For anyone starting a jewelry collection, we recommend starting with a pair of favorite gemstone or diamond studs, as they are versatile staples perfect for any attire
Hoops
Hoops are a versatile earring style that complements all face shapes. Available in various sizes and crafted from different metals and gemstones, they range from simple designs for everyday wear to more intricate styles. Hoops typically feature a circular shape that curves from the front of the ear to the back, where they secure through the ear piercing. They can be large or small, snugly hugging the earlobe, and come in varying thicknesses and weights.
Hoops can also be adorned with gemstones or diamonds to add color and sparkle. Modern interpretations may include asymmetrical designs or woven metal elements for a more elaborate look.
Types of Hoops
Brilliantany offers a variety of hoop styles:
J Hoops: These hoops feature a gap in the back portion rather than meeting end to end. They are secured with a screw or push backing against the earlobe, reducing the weight and metal visibility. The front portion of the earring is adorned with gemstones or diamonds.
Huggies: Designed to sit snugly against the earlobe, huggies minimize the gap and are ideal for everyday wear due to their comfort, security, and reduced risk of catching on clothing. They can be set with multiple smaller gemstones or a larger single gemstone.
Prong Set Hoops: These are akin to traditional hoop earrings, featuring a circular shape and a prong clasp for securing the earring. Typically set with gemstones or diamonds, these hoops sit slightly further from the ear, allowing the wearer's movement to enhance the sparkle.
Halos
Halo earrings are a stunning choice, perfect for both fancy occasions and everyday wear. They typically feature a single gemstone surrounded by a circle of diamonds or complementary gemstones. The halo not only adds an artistic design element but also enhances the appearance of the center gemstone by making it appear larger.
When crafting halo earrings, we ensure that the quality of the accent halo gems matches that of the center stone, resulting in a flawless and cohesive look.
Halo earrings are available in various center stone shapes such as round, cushion, oval, and princess cuts. They can also be combined with other earring styles to create dangle earrings. Although slightly more elaborate than studs, halo earrings are versatile enough for daily wear.
Drops
Drop earrings typically hang below the earlobe and are secured in various ways, offering versatility in length and shape. In its classic form, a drop earring features a basket that holds the central gemstone, secured with a lever backing.
Other variations include different shapes and sizes held in place with a hook or French wire backing. This type of backing balances the earring's weight by pulling through the piercing, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit.
Drop earrings can also feature multiple linked gems and vary in length according to preference. This style is highly versatile, suitable for both casual and formal occasions, making it an excellent choice for a unique gift.
Contemporary
Contemporary earring styles enhance classic elements with innovative designs. Examples include clusters, intricate metalwork, and a variety of gemstone shapes.
Clusters combine multiple uniform pieces of the same gemstone into circular or floral designs, creating the appearance of a larger gemstone from afar. Contemporary earrings also integrate intricate metalwork for distinctive designs.
Available in diverse shapes and with various backings, contemporary earrings complement all face types beautifully.
