Economy: Faceted Teardrop Earrings, $3.80 (FOREVER21, 5701 Sunset Dr., South Miami or 11401 Pines Blvd., Pembroke Pines)

There's nothing wrong with stud earrings, but sometimes you just want to shake your head and dangle. You can do just that with these earrings, strung together with sparkly silver and gray stones and teardrop-shaped beads.

Top of the Line: Murano Batu Silang Long Drop Earrings, $1,800 (Neiman Marcus department stores)

The only teardrops you'll shed for these earrings by John Hardy will be over the price. Once you recover, you can enjoy their geometric designs with Murano glass beads and red sapphires. Each Murano bead is individually hand-blown in Venice and completed with pave-cut diamonds for a sparkly, crystal ball-like effect at the bottom.
