All of the earrings found in the This Ilk shop need to be dangling from my ear lobes immediately. Not only are the earrings awesome, each piece of jewelry in the shop is named after a female figure, like Tinkerbelle, Goldilocks or Athena. The designer, Tamara Bavdek, started designing such dangly earrings after getting a short hair cut & wanting something to compliment & feminize her look - I totally understand. I've always worn dangly earrings (even with long-long-long hair), but my earrings are REALLY shoulder-grazing now that I've lopped off a lot of my locks.
