dangle earring

Swaying lobe jewelry

A dangle earring hangs below the earlobe rather than sitting directly on it, swinging freely with movement.

The term distinguishes these from studs or hoops: She wore long dangle earrings that caught the light when she turned her head.

Also called drop earrings.
