    Learn More About Chandelier Earrings

    Similar to the ornate lighting fixture of the same name, chandelier earrings are long earrings that dangle below the earlobe and cascade down into multiple tiers of gemstones, crystals, or beads. They are sometimes called dangle earrings, but what sets chandelier earrings apart is the layers or tiers. They can vary in length, from just below the earlobe to large chandelier earrings in shoulder-grazing styles.

    While jewelry trends come and go, chandelier earrings are a stylish choice that look just as fresh today as they have in decades past. You'll find many chandelier earring styles in some of Etsy's best jewelry shops. Because they often feature eye-catching embellishments like gemstones, they offer the perfect way to add some sparkle and glamor to any outfit.


    However, more simple and understated designs made of a single solid metal are also surprisingly versatile for everyday wear and can be paired with almost any outfit. Then there are the show-stopping styles with long beaded tassels and floral adornments that let you channel your inner diva to rock those chandelier earrings with confidence.

    Chandelier earrings are available in an endless array of styles. Here is a quick look at some of the most popular types.


    • Bridal chandelier earrings: Designed for the brides-to-be, these earrings are usually made with delicate materials like pearls, crystals, and lace. They often feature intricate designs for that touch of elegance and sophistication to complement the bridal outfit.
    • Beaded chandelier earrings: These earrings are made with a variety of beads, from glass to wood to semi-precious stones. They can be colorful and playful, making them perfect for lending a pop of color when you’re feeling lively.
    • Boho chandelier earrings: Characterized by their long, dangly designs, boho-inspired earrings often feature elements like feathers, tassels, and natural stones. They're perfect for adding a fun hint of flair to laid-back attire.
    • Vintage chandelier earrings: Vintage styles from the art deco 1920s to the glamorous 1950s often feature elements like filigree, rhinestones, and pearls, making them a great choice for bringing some old-school glamor to a modern look.

    When shopping for new earrings, consider the types of metals you are most attracted to: silver, gold, white gold, brass, or copper. If you prefer lightweight earrings, look for small chandelier earrings or those made with light materials like wood, shells, or polymer clay.


    Since these earrings come in such a wide choice of styles, you can wear them for almost any occasion. Boho chandelier earrings are perfect for a beachy look, while simple silver chandelier earrings can dress up comfy jeans and a blouse for a stylish work ensemble or an easy date-night outfit.


    Formal chandelier earrings are an elegant accessory for a wedding or other special event. Add that “wow” factor by choosing a pair that cascades to the shoulders or a bedazzled pair that offers movement.
