An earring is a piece of jewelry that is worn on the earlobe. It can come in many different shapes and sizes, and can be made from a variety of materials. Two common types of earrings are pendants and sleepers. A PENDANT is a type of earring that hangs from the earlobe and is usually attached to a chain or hoop. Sleepers are a type of earring that is designed to fit snugly against the earlobe without any dangling parts. Both pendants and sleepers are popular choices for earrings and can be found in a variety of styles.
