6. Drop Chain Earrings 

Can you believe that these earrings were also quite popular in Ancient Egypt, around the 1830s? As new stones were discovered, drop earrings were further developed. Earring usage was very important in Ancient Egypt, so it’s not surprising that drop earrings were constantly being improved. In the 1870s, with the discovery of African diamond mines, diamonds were added to these earrings, making them more accessible. When we look at photos from ancient times, we can already see drop earrings. Drop earrings have now become part of the timeless jewelry category, having been widely worn in the 50s (on the left), 70s (in the middle), and 90s (next to the middle one), and they are still being used today with modern designs (the one on the far right).
