Dangle earrings

Dangle earrings are a type of jewelry whose decorative part hangs freely below the earlobe. They consist of a component for attachment to the ear and a movable pendant. Both length and design can vary significantly, from short drops to long and ornate models. The fastening is typically achieved with an ear wire (also known as a French hook or shepherd's hook), a butterfly back (or post and butterfly), or a hinged mechanism, which is also known as a 'dámský patent' (women's clasp).
