Earrings are one of the oldest and most universal forms of personal adornment — found in virtually every culture throughout recorded history. Today, Grissom's carries an extensive selection of fine earrings in a variety of styles, metals, and stones to suit every taste and occasion.
Earring Styles
Studs
Stud earrings are the most classic and versatile style. Sitting directly on the earlobe with no dangle, studs range from simple diamond solitaires to elaborate multi-stone designs. A quality pair of diamond stud earrings is often considered the most essential fine jewelry investment a woman can make — wearable for virtually any occasion, from casual to formal.
Drop & Dangle Earrings
Drop earrings hang below the earlobe and create elegant movement. The length and design vary widely — from simple single-stone drops to elaborate chandelier designs featuring multiple diamonds or gemstones. Drop and dangle earrings are particularly flattering for formal occasions, adding sparkle and drawing attention to the neckline.
Hoop Earrings
Hoop earrings are circular or semi-circular in shape and are one of the most enduringly popular earring styles. Fine hoops can be crafted in plain gold or platinum, set with diamonds along the front, or embellished with gemstones. They are available in a range of sizes from small and delicate to bold statement hoops.
Huggie Earrings
Huggies are small hoops that sit close to the earlobe, "hugging" it. Often set with diamonds or gemstones along the front, huggies offer a polished, contemporary look that is both elegant and comfortable for everyday wear.
Cluster Earrings
Cluster earrings feature a grouping of stones — often diamonds — arranged in a decorative pattern on the earlobe. The cluster design creates a larger, more dramatic visual impact than a single stone of the same total carat weight, often offering excellent value.
Choosing the Right Earrings
When selecting earrings, consider your lifestyle and how often you'll wear them. Studs and huggies are ideal for daily wear — secure, comfortable, and versatile. Drop and chandelier styles are best reserved for evenings and special occasions. Consider the metal color that complements your skin tone and the rest of your jewelry wardrobe. And always consider the quality of the closure — well-made earrings use secure, comfortable backs that prevent loss.
