Types of men's earrings:
Studs
These earrings are attached to the ear like a paste on so it looks hanging. These are made of solid diamonds or solid metal and other gemstone.
Stud's versatility makes it a great choice for men's earrings. Simple diamond stud earrings are preferred by younger generations. Less flashy and smaller ones can be worn in the office. For the red carpet and club scene, a diamond stud can be worn.
Hoops
These were the original choice for men when it came to earrings. Hoop earrings are designed like semi-circular or circular rings. They usually have metal tubing and thin wire attachments that pierce the ear.
In the 90s, hoop earrings were used in some regions in Europe as codes for sexual orientation, which is determined by the number of earrings worn and where they wear them.
Men's hoop earrings are worn depending on wearer style and taste. They are made in pairs either worn on one ear or both. The gold hoop is the ideal type that have a more unique stylish look.
Clip-On
Clip on earrings used to be reserved for women as jewelers usually make them big. This is because clip-on earring should be big enough to accommodate the size of the clasp in the back. Now, there are clip on earrings made for men.
A very good example is the diamond stud clip-on earring that was used by an actor. The clip-on earring had a small link between the front and the back clasp that it wasn't immediately obvious that the actor was wearing a clip-on.
Clip-on earrings have existed longer than any other variety of non-pierced earrings. But, they are much more stylish now and have become very descriptive of the modern style of men's earrings. These pieces have been perfected for use by both genders.
Ear Cuffs
Ear Cuffs are attached to the cartilage portion of the ear without piercing through the tissue. Ear cuffs are easy accessory because they are easy to put on and remove. They are curved band of metal pressed onto ear and the pinches let for steady grip.
Flesh Tunnels
Flesh tunnels, sometimes referred to as a gauge, spool, fleshy, earlet, expander, eyelet or Bullet Holes, are pierced through the earlobe and are hollow in the middle. Wearers generally use them to show off how far they can widen the hole in their earlobe.
