While some will say that no jewelry box is complete without a pair of diamond studs, we also think it should contain at least one pair of drop earrings. But there's a point of issue here. Should they be drop earrings or chandelier earrings?

Most people believe that chandelier earrings are just a form of drop earrings but there is a difference that any jewelry aficionado understands. Drop earrings can take many forms from simple to highly elaborate but in form, they drop their embellishments from a vertical thin or thick line-line shape.

Chandelier earrings are so-called because they are reminiscent of light fixtures of the same name. Like drop earrings, they are long and dangly but instead of a vertical linear form, they hang in sections from a stud, fanning out from the base creating a diamond-like of half-circle shape.

A pair of beautiful chandelier earrings make for the perfect statement piece for a special or formal occasion, but some styles can easily be incorporated into a more casual style. The right pair of chandelier earrings can look great with jeans and t-shirt!

Here are our tips for how to wear this particular piece of jewelry for a variety of different styles and occasions. No matter what type of chandelier earrings you own, these tips prove that they are jewelry pieces that work all year round because a statement chandelier earring never goes out of style.

Lace is present in a lot of vintage clothing, so when you are wearing something that evokes a certain era, you don't want to ruin the tone by choosing earrings that are too modern looking.

A sweetheart-necked gown or top is ideal for dramatic chandelier earrings, as it provides enough room and space for this style of earring to settle in their own area and not overpower or be overpowered by anything else you might be wearing.

If your specific pair of earrings don't boast a lot of 'hang' and are on the smaller side, then a sweetheart neck gown can also pair with a beautiful necklace for maximum effect.

Monochrome looks are very chic when put together properly and there's flexibility to choose practically any style of chandelier earrings. Go retro with a pair of art deco geometric chandelier earrings or something more eclectic like a pair of gypsy-style.
