What is a dangle earring?

A dangle earring is an earring that hangs below the earlobe. The length, style or material of an dangle earring can vary.

Are dangling earrings professional?

Yes, dangling earrings can be professional. Some people feel that earrings in the workplace should hang no more than 0.5 to 0.75 inches below the ear to prevent distractions, so longer earrings may not be suitable for pairing with workwear. Consider the standards for attire at your place of business when selecting your earrings, as dress codes vary from organization to organization. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of dangle earrings.

What are dangling earrings called?

Dangling earrings are typically just called dangle earrings. Some people may also refer to their backings when saying the names of dangle earrings. For example, fish hook dangle earrings hang from curved wires, while lever-back dangle earrings have a hinged closure that latches shut for added security. Explore a large collection of dangle earrings on 1stDibs.

What do dangle earrings symbolize?

What dangle earrings symbolize is a matter of interpretation. Some people believe that dangle earrings are symbols of femininity due to the way they swing and sway, but others don't assign any special meaning to them. Earrings in specific shapes have meaning as well. For example, cross earrings may represent a person's religious faith, while four-leaf clovers may be associated with good luck. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of dangle earrings.

Are drop and dangle earrings the same?

No, drop and dangle earrings are not the same. Although both types of earrings hang below the ear, their designs are different. Dangle earrings swing when you move, while drop earrings remain stationary. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of dangle and drop earrings from some of the world's top dealers.

Are dangling earrings good?

Yes, dangling earrings can be good options. An understated pair of dangle earrings can be suitable for work or worn to dress up a casual outfit like jeans and a sweater. Larger dangle earrings can make a dramatic statement for a special occasion or an evening out. It's a good idea to remove dangle earrings before active activities like sports and workouts because they could get caught on something. Shop a wide range of dangle earrings on 1stDibs.

Why are dangling earrings attractive?

Dangling earrings are attractive for a variety of reasons. Also called dangle earrings, they draw the eye downward and can help to visually lengthen the face and neck. Many people also find the swinging movement of dangle earrings to be playful or alluring. Dangle earrings come in many sizes, styles and materials, giving you many options to consider. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of dangle earrings.

What is the difference between a drop earring and a dangle earring?

The difference between a drop earring and a dangle earring is how it hangs. A drop earring extends down below the earlobe but is stationary, while a pair of dangle earrings’ design allows it to swing. On 1stDibs, find a selection of earrings.

Are dangle earrings appropriate for work?

Whether dangle earrings are appropriate for work depends on the setting, which can include standards for safety as well as dress codes. Work around machinery or moving parts can be hazardous with dangle earrings or other loose accessories. In some workplaces, stud earrings may be the norm, while in others, understated dangle earrings like those set with small pearls or diamonds may be appropriate. There are also workplaces where large statement earrings that dangle may be acceptable attire. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of dangle earrings.

What are dangle stud earrings called?

Dangle stud earrings are generally just called dangle earrings. However, dangle stud is actually a misnomer, as the term "stud" refers to an earring that doesn't dangle or hang below the ear. When people say "dangle stud," they usually mean a dangle earring that hangs from a post -- a metal rod that fits through the ear and is fastened by a push-on backing. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of stud and dangle earrings.

Why do people wear dangling earrings?

While motivations differ, people generally wear dangling earrings because they like how they look. Since they hang below the ear and swing when you move, dangle earrings catch attention and draw the eye. Long earrings can also visually lengthen the face, and the longest ones can accentuate the collarbones and shoulders. Explore a large collection of dangle earrings on 1stDibs.

Can guys wear dangling earrings?

Yes, guys can wear dangling earrings. Men can feel free to wear whatever type of earrings appeal to them. Dangle earrings with charms depicting crosses, feathers and infinity symbols are common picks for men, as are dangle earrings with gemstones like diamonds, rubies or emeralds. Shop a variety of earrings for men on 1stDibs.

What do you call non dangling earrings?

Non-dangling earrings are usually called studs. However, some people refer to them as post earrings. Because they're free of hanging elements, stud earrings are a great option for everyday wear. Find a wide range of antique, vintage and contemporary stud earrings from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.

How can you tell if black diamond earrings are real?

To tell if black diamond earrings are real, first examine the surface of the gemstones. Real black diamonds usually have imperfections, while fakes usually appear flawless. Because it can be difficult to identify well-made synthetic gemstones with the naked eye, consider consulting a knowledgeable jeweler, dealer or appraiser for assistance with authentication. Find a variety of black diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.

Finding the Right Dangle-earrings for You

Earrings have a rich, diverse history, and while there are many types of this accessory to choose from, the dangle style is one of the most enduring designs. Today antique and vintage dangle earrings are timeless adornments that can make any outfit instantly more glamorous.

One of the oldest known pairs of dangle earrings was made of jade between 7,500 and 8,200 years ago in Inner Mongolia. Hoop earrings — of which there have been countless variations — are as old as Ancient Mesopotamia, and Ancient Egyptians wore dangle earrings that had sacred symbolism as part of their jewelry practices. In ancient Rome, dangle earrings with pearls and other precious materials were popular.

Dangle earrings vary in length, but they are all designed to cascade off the ears. Some dangle earrings barely fall past the bottom of the earlobe while others fall low enough to graze the shoulders or even fall past them. During the Renaissance period, women wore up-do hairstyles so they could show off their dangle earrings. Even noblemen joined the trend, donning a sole dangle earring adorned with a pearl.

Georgian women preferred heavy girandole earrings that featured candelabra-like arrangements of precious metal and stones. Dangle earrings in the 19th century were simpler, often featuring a single suspended gemstone in a drop-earring style. Going into the 20th century, screw-back earrings and clip-ons became popular, leading to more minimal stud designs. However, dangle earrings have always come back into fashion.

Whether they are made with diamonds, beads or feathers, dangle earrings are statement pieces reflecting the shifting styles over the years. Find the perfect antique and vintage dangle earrings for any occasion on 1stDibs.
