They can also be long enough to go down and touch the shoulder. It all depends on what you like. They can come with just a chain that goes though the pierced ear.
Earrings like these are fun to wear because you can get a pair for everyday of the week if you like them. Some people think that they are too long or too short or too cumbersome. Most women love them and mix and match them with what they are wearing for the day or evening. They have become quite popular in the last twenty years and it seems they are still growing.
Some of these dangle earrings use what is called a French Hook type of loop in them. This French Hook is just a loop of gold or silver that is part of the earring that slides through the pierced ear and you normally don’t have to wear an earring back on them. They will hang there and stay still. These are interesting because of their many designs with gemstones or just pieces of colored glass. Most of these are very pretty, and they are great to wear with jeans or a dressy outfit.
Some new types of these earrings include the new animal and object kinds. These have the face of a dog as the front and the body for a back. These could be considered the dangle type because they do come down below the ear. These earrings are so cute, because they use all types of thins in the design. There are cats, cows, rabbits, dinosaurs, apples, oranges, monkeys, and frogs. They seem to be very popular with the teen set.
Some earrings can be a ball on a post and then the rest of the earring might attach to that post. These are becoming seen a lot more these days. These you can add a string of different stones or rocks and match whatever you want. These kinds of earrings are usually quite beautiful when done right and the colors are matched properly. Some people just throw it together and it is really horrible to look at while trying to decide if you want them or not. Watch the chain you are choosing and make sure the colors are as bright or bold as you want them. Get all purple or green if you want depending on your favorite color and what you are wearing the the earrings.
