Loop lock
A classic French lock may not have a connecting eyelet. This design is a conventional hook without a latch. The earrings are simply inserted into the holes and are not fixed, which is their disadvantage.

To prevent such earrings from getting lost, you can put on a special silicone clasp at the end of the hook, which resembles a retainer in stud earrings.

When buying an accessory, it is better to take a closer look at small styles: they are able to give expressiveness to facial features, increasing them. Large models draw all the attention to themselves, reducing facial features. Massive options can visually reduce the volume of the body, but they are not suitable for every woman.
