Discovering different styles of earrings
Stud or post earrings
These are the most worn and sold earrings on the market. In fact, they are the jewelry used when you have just had your ears pierced. These earrings give the sensation of being "placed" on the lobe. Stud earrings are discreet and versatile. Very easy to match, they can be changed according to your mood, tastes, and desires.
Our fashion ar'tips :
Stud earrings can come in different shapes, colors, widths... allowing you to switch from a delicate and discreet style to a bolder one. There is something for every budget and desire! These are the earrings to wear for a formal event, such as a job interview. Additionally, they are also the earrings to choose if you have a slim and elongated face.
Dangling earrings
This refers to all types of dangling earrings, regardless of the model, length, shape, color... From simple small dangling earrings to long ornamental feathers, you can find everything! These are a kind of earrings that hang below the earlobe, making them more visible than studs. They offer an endless choice of styles.
Our fashion ar'tips :
This type of earrings slims the face and silhouette. They are therefore very suitable for round faces. These also go well with hair
- loose
- wavy
- only with a high bun.
They will be the perfect element to dress a long evening gown. However, long dangling earrings are to be avoided for slim and tall women.

Hoops
These earrings are among the most renowned. They are rings that can be more or less large, wide, and heavy. Hoops can be square, rectangular, or elaborately designed (hammered, wavy, with stones…). They are definitely a timeless pair. Depending on your mood and style, you can wear small hoops for a refined look or larger models for a more fashionable and assertive side.
Our fashion ar'tips :
They are highly appreciated for dressing up official and elegant outfits (weddings, birthdays, cocktails…). These earrings will delight women with square, rectangular, round faces, or even with a boyish haircut (provided you choose the right size and shape of hoop. Avoid round hoops for round faces and square hoops for square faces…). However, be careful not to wear large necklaces or bracelets with already bold earrings to avoid any fashion faux pas.
Half hoops
These earrings are similar to hoops, but unlike their counterparts, they do not close completely. Let me explain, they are actually "halves" of rings. Moreover, they are thinner and more delicate than classic hoops; half-hoops are often more intricately designed.
Our fashion ar'tips :
Half-hoop earrings go wonderfully with elegant and understated gala or evening outfits. They are elegant and add that touch of femininity and sensuality that will make you a femme fatale.

Maintenance, tips, men's earrings: the loop is closed!
Earrings are mostly associated with women. However, more and more men's models are appearing. To take care of yourself and assert your style, earrings have become an essential accessory, even for gentlemen.
Moreover, earrings are fragile and delicate jewelry that require care and especially maintenance. First of all, it is strongly advised not to wear them at night to avoid damaging them and hurting yourself. Finally, also remember to regularly clean and disinfect their clasps and posts with a bit of alcohol (once a month would be ideal, but also when it’s a new model).

Find the ideal clasp for your earrings
Because the comfort and security of your jewelry are essential, discover our guide to different clasps to find the one that will perfectly suit your needs.
Who are clip-on earrings for?
These earrings are made for those who do not have pierced ears and do not want to take the plunge. They live up to their name as they simply clip onto the earlobe, like a small clamp, and without pain. They allow everyone to add a touch of whimsy to an outfit.
What is the difference between backs or butterfly clasps?
They are the most well-known and used clasps. With stud earrings, dangling earrings, or hoops... you find them everywhere! Moreover, it is the most secure clasp because it consists of a post that goes through and a back (or butterfly clasp), which slides and adjusts onto this post to hold the earring.
What are hooks?
They are the easiest clasps to use because you just need to insert the post into the hole of your earlobe. Although very practical, they are not necessarily the most secure. Make sure to fasten your earrings well to avoid unpleasant surprises at the end of the day. Fortunately, the posts used are often long to prevent losing them.
What do hinged hoops look like?
Hinged hoop earrings look like hooks with an additional clasp at the back. Hooks are mainly used for longer earrings, and hinged hoops for shorter ones. This type of clasp was previously worn at night to prevent the earlobe hole from closing, hence the name hinged hoops.
