Dangling jewelry is a type of jewelry that hangs from the earlobes. Two examples of this type of jewelry are eardrops and earbobs. Eardrops are pieces of jewelry that hang from the earlobes and usually have a gemstone or other decorative element attached to them. Earbobs are similar to eardrops, but they are usually larger and more ornate. Both eardrops and earbobs are popular choices for accessorizing an outfit.
