Usually, signing on just your dominant ear is perfectly fine to mean either singular or plural earrings. If you want to emphasize a pair, you can sign it on both ears, but it's not strictly necessary for everyday conversation.
You can use classifiers to describe the shape! After signing 'earring', you can use your index fingers and thumbs to trace a circle for hoops, or pinch your fingers and pull down to show long, dangling earrings.
