They’re usually called chain earrings. Some styles of chain earrings are referred to as threaders or dangle earrings. Also, they come in a lot of designs—some loop might through the ear, and others might drape softly for a barely-there feel and look. No matter your style, they will always bring a touch of effortless chic.

Yes, absolutely, they are designed to be worn every day, all day. They are lightweight, and thread-through styles tend to be comfortable enough even to sleep in. A more general rule would be that if you’re after an everyday gold chain earring, go for something smooth and minimal that won’t tug or catch when you sleep.

They are very versatile, and here is the beauty of chain earrings. You have the option to let them drape naturally for an elegant, ethereal look, you can loop them through multiple piercings for a layered, more unique style effect, or you can pair them with studs for a little bit of contrast. However you prefer to style them, they always add movement and something extra to your look.
