Guide to Common Earring Styles

Guide to Common Earring Styles

Welcome to the blog on Creating by the Book, I’m so happy you stopped by!

In this post I’d like to showcase some of the earring styles I return to again and again when making different collections. I hope you find something that catches your eye, and you can follow the links to add them to your wardrobe!

Rebecca

This retro feeling doorway style is a personal favorite of mine. I love the medium size (around 1 inch square) and the ball posts are fun and secure.

Emily



Sometimes I can’t decide between Rebecca and Emily for my favorite style. I love the very basic shape of these while also being classic and sophisticated. They look great with a subtle color and pattern or a bold one, and also can be dressed up or down.

Emma


Emma is Emily’s trendier cousin, with a little more of a party vibe. These would be a perfect accessory to elevate a basic dress for a night out.

Butterfly Wing

I love the natural and slightly asymmetrical shape of these, especially when the pattern is also evocative of a butterfly as well. These are one of my largest styles but generally in more subtle colors and patterns.

Teardrop

 

The teardrop is a classic shape for a reason, they really let the color and/or pattern shine. I also love to add extra elements to teardrop pieces, like this fun metal charm.

Two and Three Tiers

These are complex, almost chandelier type earrings that look super elegant, especially the three tiers, while the two tiers are a bit more playful. These earrings have lots of movement and look great with a ball post or a hook.

Chloe

Hexagons make me think of bees and honeycomb, and I love the way these three stacked on top of each other look. The top one is a stud while the other two hang freely.

Hexagons

Like the Chloe, I love using hexagons in other ways. They're very popular as single studs, and the large hexagons are personal favorites of mine, so unique!
