• What are drop earrings?

  As their name indicates, drop earrings are styles which hang or ‘drop’ from your earlobe. They may be fastened to your ear piercing via a stud, hook, or hoop. You can also find threader earrings, which include a fine chain that is ‘threaded’ through your piercing.

• What length should drop earrings be?

  Drop earrings can be any length that you prefer. Styles range from dainty pieces that hang just below your earlobe, through to large drops that fall several centimetres for an eye-catching look. Smaller drop earrings are perfect for everyday wear or for a more simple look that will style easily with the rest of your jewellery. Larger drop earrings are great for a statement look or glamorous occasion, giving you extra swing and catching the light for incredible sparkle.

• What should I wear with drop earrings?

  Drop earrings come in a number of different designs and sizes, and there are just as many ways to style them.

  Drop earrings in unadorned sterling silver, yellow, rose, or white gold, are perfect styled with a necklace, bracelet, and ring in the same metal colour for a polished, matching look.

  Diamond or gemstone drop earrings can be either mixed or matched with other pieces of jewellery, depending on how much of a statement you want to make. Try pairing your pearl drop earrings with a pearl necklace or pearl ring for a beautifully matched look.

  If you want to add some colour, wear a pair of drop earrings set with a coloured gemstone alongside a simple gold or silver chain. Diamond drop earrings can be worn alone and still create an eye-catching look. For extra sparkle or for a formal occasion, wear your diamond drops with a diamond pendant necklace and a diamond bracelet.

• Are drop earrings in style?

  Drop earrings are always in style. With so many designs to choose from, you can find a pair that’s perfect for your personal style, or to dress up your look for a special occasion.

  Small drop earrings in a plain precious metal, or set with a pearl or diamond, are a safe bet for styles you can wear time and time again. Versatile styles like these can be styled with so many different looks, allowing you to change up your jewellery style to suit your mood, the occasion, or for an on-trend look.
