There are numerous types of earrings, including studs, hoops, dangle earrings, chandelier earrings, and ear cuffs. Studs are simple and classic, while rings come in different sizes and thicknesses. Dangle earrings are usually longer and swing freely, while chandelier earrings have multiple tiers of dangling beads or gems. Ear cuffs wrap around the ear and don't require a piercing.
