Chandelier earrings are characterized by a bow, a central stone or circular cluster of stones at the top, from which is suspended a cascade of stones. The tops, as well as the drops, can be simple to elaborate in execution. This style of earrings, and pendants, is first noted during Roman times, re-emerged during the Renaissance and persisted until the late Victorian period. The length of the earrings also depends on the length and volume of the different hairstyles in the ages.
