Silver earrings are worn by both men and women. For men, they mostly wear silver studs whereas for women, they are various designs, including silver chandelier earrings, silver hoops, drop or long silver earrings, silver cluster earrings, and plenty more besides.

Different earrings have different meanings; for instance, wearing one earring in some cultures brings out different reactions as compared to other cultures. This review will majorly focus on the different types of silver earrings that can be crafted and the different types of occasions they can be worn in.

Different types of silver earrings

Silver stud earrings

Stud earrings are the most basic of earrings hence the most common. Their popularity came up in the early 20^th century and are the go-to option for being simple yet very stylish. There are very many diverse types and sizes of studs, but the concept is the same. The back of the earring is hidden behind the earlobe, and it usually appears to be floating on the ear.

Silver drop earrings

Drop earrings typically are shimmering jewelry that can be either long or short. They are generally worn by women and give them an aristocratic appearance. Which means they are ideal for formal occasions. Drop earrings can be a single piece hanging on the ear or a series of hoops that make up the piece.

Silver cluster earrings

They are very similar to stud earrings. These pieces are made up of several gems clustered together on the silver frame, and they give a smart yet very stylish look. The gems are of different sizes, colors, and shapes, and they are attached in decorative patterns.

Silver chandelier earrings

Chandelier earrings are very similar to drop earrings, and this can bring confusion on either of them. But in reality, chandelier earrings are sophisticated in design and have multiple precious stones. Their shape extends until it resembles a chandelier hence the name.

Silver dangle earrings

Dangles are the more sophisticated version of drop earrings.  They hang vertically below the ear. The significant difference is whereas drop earrings are relatively stationary and bulkier, dangle earrings can move back and forth and are longer, which gives designers more room to work with.

Silver jacket earrings

Jacket earrings have not been around for long and are one of the modern earring designs. They are very similar to studs, and the front of the earring is a latch that holds the earring in place. The major part of this type of earring sits behind the ear and hangs vertically. This gives the wearer an exotic yet very modern look.

Silver hoop earrings

As the name suggests, these are large and round earrings that resemble hoops. They can vary in diameter, material, and color as well but tend to be no longer than shoulder length. Wearing this type of earring is composed of a thin wire going through the ear piercing, and it’s latched into place, and this creates a full circle. Nowadays, shapes such as triangles or squares are considered to be hoop earrings as well.

Silver ear cuffs 

Ear cuffs are a very sought after type of earring majorly because of their unique design. They cover the majority of the ear stemming from the earlobe to the top of the ear. They usually are attached to the edge of the ear.

Conclusion

To sum it all up with regards to earrings and silver ones to be exact, there are different types, as discussed above, and many more that have not been mentioned. It all comes down to personal choices and preferences when choosing what to wear, and this applies to both genders.
