Should I get dangly earrings or studs?

My birthstone is amethyst and I'm planning to wish for a pair of amethyst earrings for Christmas. I found some reeeeaaalllyyy cute ones online, but I don't know if I should get dangley ones or studs. Which would you prefer? Which is "better"?

Who makes earrings Drew Barrymore wears in Cover Girl ad for Lash Blast mascara?

The earrings are gold with giant purple gemstones - possibly amethyst. They're drop earrings. It's the largely purple accented ad for lashblast fusion mascara. I've looked everywhere and can't find who makes these!!

Wearing Heavy Earrings?

I'm going to the theater tomorrow with my husband and then going to an after party. He bought me a gorgeous pair of amethyst earrings, but they are very heavy. I really want to wear them tomorrow but I'm afraid of damaging my ears. Is there anything I can get on short notice that would help? They are backless earrings, would it help if I slipped backs onto them? Anyone have any advice?

I want to get earrings for my girlfriend, need help finding the right kind.?

She's not too big a fan of wearing earrings though, so I don't want something huge that would be invasive.

I'm also trying to keep the price to around 50 to 100 dollars.

Her birth month is February *early* in case there is a certain color I should aim for (She loves purple/green, and I believe amethyst is a purple shade.

Any other details you want, I can add.
