Three lengths to choose between
Dangling earrings in this collection come in three base lengths, and the choice between them determines how much the earring moves and how clearly it falls down toward the jaw. The shortest hang closest to the earlobe and give a discreet movement, the medium-length ones fall further down, and the longest reach noticeably further and set a clear vertical line along the neck. All are built on the same principle: a diamond set in a bezel, that is, a closed metal edge that surrounds the stone all the way around, hanging from an ear post. The shortest is the Short Dangling Diamond Bezel Stud, then the Long Dangling Diamond Bezel Stud, and the longest is the Extra Long Dangling Diamond Bezel Stud. If you want to see the entire selection of dangling bezel earrings gathered in one place, they are in the dangling bezel earring collection.
How the diamond weight is distributed across the lengths
The carat figures in the collection do not follow the length, but the type and number of stones. The short model carries 0.41 ct. as a single earring and 0.82 ct. as a pair. The long one carries 0.57 ct. single and 1.14 ct. as a pair. The extra long one carries 0.46 ct. single and 0.92 ct. as a pair. That the long model has the largest single stone, while the extra long reaches furthest down, means that the choice is not only about how much the earring takes up in height, but also about how large the stone itself should be. If you want the most striking single diamond, it is the long model, while the extra long gives the longest line with a slightly smaller stone.
Single earring or pair
Each length comes both as a single earring and as a pair. The single one is practical if you have several piercings and want to build an asymmetric look, or if you simply only need the one after having lost its match. The pair is the obvious solution when both ears need to match. Because the prices and carat figures are stated separately for single and pair, it is worth reading the product name carefully, so you know whether the figure covers one stone or two. A combination of a single long earring in one ear and a smaller stud in the other is one of the ways dangling earrings are styled today.
Gold or white gold
All models are made in 14 karat gold and come in both gold and white gold. Gold gives a warm tone that suits most skin types and highlights the diamond's sparkle against a golden glow. White gold is cooler and more neutral and lets the diamond step forward as the thing the eye catches first. The choice is mostly about what matches the rest of your jewelry, and what you usually wear. If you want to read more about what white gold actually is, and how it differs from gold, the article what is white gold goes through the difference. The entire selection of gold earrings is found in the gold earrings collection.
Natural diamond or lab-grown
Each earring comes with either a natural diamond or a lab-grown diamond. A lab-grown diamond is grown in a laboratory and has the same chemical and optical properties as a natural diamond, but typically costs less for the same size and quality. The difference cannot be seen with the naked eye. This means that for the same budget you can choose a larger stone in lab-grown, or keep the size and spend less money. If you want to understand how lab-grown diamonds are made, the article what are lab-grown diamonds explains the process, and the entire range of grown stones is found under lab-created diamonds.
From everyday to festive
The short models sit close and move a little when you walk, and they work for an ordinary workday without being in the way. The long and extra long ones stand out more clearly and are suited to occasions where the jewelry may take up more space. Because it is the same clean bezel setting throughout, without colored stones or busy details, the models glide from daylight to evening without changing character. A single diamond that hangs and catches the light is just as easy to wear with a shirt as with an evening dress.
How to keep the dangling earrings clean
Diamonds attract grease from skin and hair products, and a thin layer on the stone dampens the sparkle that dangling earrings live on. Because the diamond here sits at the outermost point and catches the light in movement, it is especially visible when it becomes dull. A soft brush, lukewarm water and a little mild soap remove most of it, and the bezel setting is easier to clean than settings with prongs, because there are no small gaps where dirt can collect. The procedure is described step by step in how to clean earrings.
Other types of earrings in the range
Dangling earrings are one of several types, and if they do not suit what you are looking for, there are other forms of the same basic look. Small diamonds close to the earlobe are available as diamond earrings, while the round rings that close around the earlobe are found under hoop earrings. The very close-fitting rings are called huggies. The entire selection across types is gathered in the earrings collection.
