Chain earrings are made of metal chains and can include precious stones, enamel charms, and other components. They can vary in length and style, with some designs featuring colored components or a tassel-like effect. Some chain earrings hang from a hoop instead of the earlobe.
Chain earrings are a type of earrings that use one or more strands of metal chain to create a linear, dangling silhouette. These types of earrings can be made from many different types of metals that can have a variety of finishes. They can vary quite a bit in length and may or may not include other components such as precious stones, semi-precious stones, enamel charms, and metal components of other shapes. Chain earrings can be styled with various types of hooks and posts, depending on the desired look of the earrings and whether they are made for people with pierced ears. In some cases, they may have a second section that connects to a small cuff that fits around the top of the ear.
It is quite common for chain earrings to have colored components added to their designs. These components can be made of stone, pearls, glass, or even plastic. A common silhouette involves a round component, such as a pearl or bead that fits just below the hook of the earring. One or more lengths of chain hang from this component. In other cases, smaller components such as rhinestones may be attached to the bottoms of each chain.
There are some types of chain earrings that include only one length of chain, but it is much more common for multiple chains to be used. In some rare cases, only a fairly thick length of chain will be used for each earring. Sometimes all the chains in chain earrings come together to create a kind of tassel.
The length of each piece of chain used in chain earrings can vary quite a bit. In most cases, these earrings hang from the ears and come to the middle of the shoulders. There are other, more dramatic designs where the earrings actually touch or fall past the shoulders. These types of earrings are sometimes called shoulder sweepers. There are also designs in which the lengths of the chain pieces are not uniform.
Some chain earrings are designed so that the lengths of the chain dangle from a hoop instead of hanging just below the earlobe. This type of hoop can be circular or teardrop-shaped. There are some cases where the hoop is angular and can be square or octagonal in shape.
