2. Dangle Earrings

As the name suggests, dangle earrings usually hang below the earlobe, swinging from side to side creating an enticing, playful look. Their length varies - while some are longer and can even graze the shoulders, others extend just a little further than the earlobe. The design may consist of a single chain hanging from the hook and bearing an ornament, usually a pearl or gemstone. In another design, the hook may split into more layers.

These earrings are another good option for round faces, as they give the illusion of a longer face. Just make sure not to choose a pair that is too heavy or chunky, as you don't want your earlobes to sag and make your face look even rounder. It is best not to wear them with a thick necklace. Otherwise, the necklace will become the center of attention. You've probably noticed that celebrities don't usually wear neck jewelry with dangle earrings.
