The different types of earrings:

Obviously there isn't just one style of earrings to choose from, which is one of the things that makes jewelry super fun to play around with.

Studs: Studs are a minimalist style that tends to steel towards the smaller end. They can be placed on your earlobe, and if small enough, you can even experiment with placing them on different parts within your ear.

Hoop: Then there's the traditional hoop earring, which is a modern staple. They can range from a smaller one that hugs your earlobe to much larger style.

Everything else: Additionally, there's plenty of other earring types to select from. There are drop earrings, dangle earrings, jacket earrings, threader earrings and plenty more. Also, if you're into body jewelry as a whole, there's some pieces of fake nose jewelry that can actually be placed on the outer part of your ear to created a pierced look. Of course you can actually get your outer ear pierced with accompanying jewelry, but it's quite painful, so we wanted to give that as an option.
