- Earring designs can range from small loops or studs to large plates or dangling items. The main characteristic of stud earrings is the appearance of floating on the ear or earlobe without a visible (from the front) point of connection. Hoop earrings are circular or semi-circular in design, and look very similar to a ring. Dangle earrings are designed to flow from the bottoms of the earlobes, and are available in various lengths from a centimeter or two, all the way to brushing the shoulders. Huggy earrings are a popular style of earring where the setting actually 'hugs' your earlobe. These can come in different shapes and sizes, from hearts to rectangles. The Slave earring is also called a "Bajoran earring", which became highly popular after it appeared on Star Trek. It is a rarely seen type of earring in which a stud is connected by a delicate chain to an ear cuff or a cartilage pierce worn higher on the ear. The Ear Thread or Earththreader, Ear String, Threader, a chain that is thin enough to slip into the ear hole, and come back out, dangles. Sometimes, people add beads or other materials on to the chain, so the chain dangles with beads below the ear.
