Drop earrings are earrings that drop just below the earlobe. The ornament piece of the earring is stationary and does not move.
The “drop” part of the earring usually comes from the attachment piece that will move slightly along with the wearer’s movements.
One of our store favourites is the Camila dainty braided gold hoops which feature a braided hoop plated in 14K gold.
