Diamond Dangle Earrings

There are thousands of different earring designs available, and two types of design elements impact the appearance of the earring: the physical structure of the jewelry and the style of the design.

The earrings’ structure includes the basic elements of earring design, such as:

Metal: Both yellow and white gold are popular options for diamond earrings and more exclusive styles may also be made of platinum. Sterling silver is a less expensive choice.

Stone Shape: Round and princess diamond shapes are the most popular for diamond dangle earrings as they can easily be used in unique designs and groups. Depending on the earring style, emerald or Asscher cuts may also be used, and cushion cuts are popular in halo designs. Pear shaped diamonds are very popular for teardrop style dangle earrings.

Setting: Most dangle earrings are set in pave, prong, or channel settings to keep the stones secure. If only a few diamonds are used, bezel settings can be stylish.

Stone Use: Some dangle earrings only use one stone as a focal point, while others use several stones to create a more elaborate design. Diamond chips may be used for a pave earring as well. Whether the stone is the central focus of the earring or just a sparkly accent, it brings stunning beauty to any earring design.

Earring Back: Both French hooks and pressure backs are commonly used for dangle earrings. Clips are less frequently used because they can become loose and insecure more easily. For very expensive earrings, screw backs are the most secure option.

There are many different earring styles that use diamonds in intricately dangling patterns. Popular styles include:

1, Pave or channel set hoops
2, Bezel or prong set drop earrings
3, Drop earrings with a halo of small stones or chips around a larger diamond or colored gem

Figural designs with hearts, stars, crosses, circles, flowers, or other shapes paved in diamonds.

1, Curves including multi-stone journey designs
2, Three stone drop earrings with graduated stone sizes
3, Contrasting styles that use black diamonds or other fancy colored diamonds along with colorless gems
4, String earrings that have more movement than rigid styles
5, Elongated flares, also called chandelier earrings, with elaborate gem details in artistic or vintage patterns.
