Studs keep their detail close to the lobe, while hoops curve outward around it. Drop earrings take another direction, using the space below the ear to make length part of the design.

Ritani’s earring selection gives that vertical line several personalities. The 14kt Yellow Gold 0.51 CTW Natural Diamond Long Oval Dangle Earrings stretch diamonds into an elongated form, while sapphire, emerald, ruby, pearl, and other drop designs use color and texture to change what happens beneath the lobe.

Long Oval Dangles Put Length First

The 14kt Yellow Gold 0.51 CTW Natural Diamond Long Oval Dangle Earrings are among Ritani’s newer fine-jewelry designs. Rather than concentrating the diamonds close to the ear, the elongated shape carries them downward in a narrow silhouette.
