I like all types of earrings.  My hair is cut short and I feel the dangles actually compliment my face, elongating it.  I also enjoy hoop earrings at least 1-1 1/2 inch, 2 inches is a bit large for my liking.   I wear studs on my "quieter" days.  Especially my pearls, I love them.

 

I never leave the house without earrings, sometimes without the wedding band, but never without earrings, LOL!

Oh, those Honora pearl earrings shown in this hour called my name, price is reasonable, pulled the trigger!  Missed the presentation.  Hope they are creamy white as they appear! Hard to find pearl earrings with pearls that size 11mm!!!!  It's been a long time since I had seen a Honora presentation.  âť¤ď¸Źâť¤ď¸Źâť¤ď¸Ź

@JeanLouiseFinch Took a picture for you of short haired Katia with "my" earrings.  No intent to suggest you buy them, of course, I don't know your taste.  But Katia looks good!  Well, she always does,,,  Jewelry does look bigger on TV than IRL.

@NYCLatinaMe  Those are pretty. That's about as dangley as I can go.  Anything longer or big hoops and I look ridiculous.  I might try to perform some surgery on my long dangles to see if I can shorten them.

Leverack earrings are my favorite.  Easy to get in my ear, no backing to fiddle with or lose, and I love the little bit of dangle movement.

I pretty much stopped wearing longer earrings when I had to start wearing masks because they kept ketting tangled up in the strings, etc.  I like hoops - not real large, with a snap bar closure.  Easy and secure!  I used to love dangly earrings but I seldom wear them now - they just feel too dressy now that I am retired.  I wear studs for the most part.  My hair is past my shoulders but I wear it pulled back or up in a clip almost all the time, so my earrings still show.

99% of  my earrings are leverbacks. They are so much more comfortable than other styles. I've had many pair of studs put on leverbacks over the years, thankfully before the price of gold went sky high. Silver makes my skin bleed.

I wear diamond studs in my second piercing, never take them off, and always wear 1 1/2" oval gold hoops on a daily basis, that's my signature piece, what can I say, I'm boring.

I guess I'm boring too, @SoCal Bred, or a little lazy lately   I have three piercings at the bottom of my ear.  Up in the cartilage, I currently have two in one ear and one on the other.  I'll be getting a second one there this fall. My cartilage piercings never change, they're mini studs with my grandchildren's birthstones. I've been wearing graduated CZ studs in my lower ear and haven't changed them in at least three weeks.
