   Earrings have been around since ancient times – and they’re still going strong. From minimalist studs to elaborate chandelier earrings and dangly drop earrings, adorned with clear, colorful or black gemstones, there is a wide selection of styles and designs on the market, varying from timelessly chic to modern and edgy. Dainty and discreet pieces, bouncy and ornate earrings, oversize statement pieces, or industrial barbells each come with their own range of characteristics and charm, specific backing types, and even specific placements on the ear.

Read on to find out everything you need to know about the most popular jewelry type in the world. Next, we’re looking at the various types of earrings available today, closing types, ear piercings, plus a brief peek into the history of earrings.Studs are the most popular types of earrings. Simple, discreet, and elegant, studs are versatile and appropriate for the widest range of occasions and looks, including casual ensembles, office outfits, eveningwear and as bridal earrings. Fine jewelry suds are also sustainable fashion-approved, due to their timeless appeal that goes beyond trends. Other popular earring types include dangle earrings, hoop earrings (including the trending pearl hoop earrings), and huggies.

 Stud earrings feature push backs, also called ‘butterfly backs’ or simply ‘posts’. A push back is a tiny metallic piece that is pushed into the earring’s post. Fine jewelry studs sometimes come with screw backs for extra security. Certain types of studs feature rubber backings instead of metallic ones (uncommon for fine jewelry).
