Drop Earrings

Drop earrings sit below the earlobe, but beyond that the style can vary enormously. You might find a small gemstone drop, a pair of pearl earrings with gentle movement or a longer articulated design that moves as you wear it. This collection brings together antique, vintage and preloved drop earrings in gold, sterling silver and platinum, with diamonds, pearls, coloured gemstones, cameos and decorative metalwork appearing across the range.

Older pairs are particularly interesting because the fittings can vary just as much as the design. Hooks, posts, screw backs and clip-ons can all appear, and with longer earrings the weight and overall drop are worth checking too. I include those details wherever possible. If you would like to compare them with studs, hoops and other styles, browse the full earrings collection.
