As a rule, the first acquaintance of any girl or girl with ear accessories begins with small studs, or studs. These earrings look cute and charming, besides, they do not pull the earlobe at all and do not cause discomfort. Today, stud earrings come in an unusually wide variety.
What are stud earrings
This is a convenient and practical earring model, which provides an elongated base (pin) with a decorative element. It is threaded through the earlobe and secured with a removable clasp. Earrings are made from natural or artificial stones and pearls, beads, plastic, even wood or polymer clay. The style and cost of the product depend on the material.
When choosing stud earrings, it is important to consider the variety of existing models. There is a classification according to the type of fasteners:
- Screw fastener. This type of fastening is designed according to the principle of thread, which maximally eliminates the loss of jewelry during everyday wear.
- "Butterfly". The fastening is based on friction and is comfortable, durable and practical for everyday use.
- "Button". Stud earrings are fixed to the earlobe; the fastening is considered one of the most reliable and durable.
We can distinguish a conditional classification based on the design of stud earrings:
- Classic studs. These are elegant stud earrings with frameless decorative elements (an elegant pearl, a sparkling stone).
- Carnations with pendants. The relatively new design offers a variety of models with spectacular decorative elements in the form of a hanging drop of precious or semi-precious stones.
Stud earrings are considered a classic. It is convenient that the strong and reliable clasp is hidden behind the ear and does not squeeze the lobe. Stud earrings are difficult to lose. Many women prefer to remove such jewelry at night because the pointed pin can be scratched.

Combination of diamond studs and other jewelry
As a rule, the first diamond jewelry a girl wears is often a ring, and only then diamond earrings are selected to match it.
The most successful combinations with diamond rings are stud earrings. To choose a model of ear jewelry that matches the ring, choose products with similar or smaller diamonds of the same shape and color to the one inserted into the ring. Earrings with stones of 0.5 carats each can be combined with a ring decorated with a 1-carat diamond.
In this case, you should definitely take into account the color of the gold in the ring: if it is yellow, then the earrings should be yellow. For earrings, it is important that the stones are identical in color and clarity. The difference may not be noticeable visually, and only gemological certificates can determine it.
In general, choosing earrings that match the ring is not so difficult, and these can be products from completely different manufacturers, which will ultimately create the perfect tandem.
How to choose stud earrings
Studs can be bought to match a specific outfit or just to suit your mood. The purchase depends on the woman’s style and taste preferences. The selection criteria do not end there; it is recommended to take into account the following important points:
- Material. Jewelry made from high-quality gold is almost eternal; low-grade material may lose its appearance over time. Silver needs to be cleaned regularly, and polymer materials lose their original shine over time, and the integrity of the coating is damaged under the influence of external factors.
- Design. Prints, patterns, decorative elements, abstract designs are chosen to suit everyone.
- Manufacturer. It is better to trust trusted brands that produce quality products. It may not be possible to buy studs cheaply, but if you buy quality ones, there is a chance to maintain their presentable appearance for many years.
- Price. Everyone has their own budget and preferences: sometimes it is more profitable to buy high-quality jewelry than jewelry made of poor quality gold. If you follow the promotions of manufacturers, you can purchase jewelry at reasonable prices.
SEARCH FOR A SELLER
Finding the right seller is perhaps the most difficult obstacle you will face when purchasing diamond earrings. The market offers an incredible selection of similar products, and it makes sense to spend a little time doing research. You can search for suppliers both online and offline, ask friends and family for recommendations, or search for information on the Internet. Be sure to read reviews of different stores to gauge what their previous customers have to say. You can check sites that offer information including customer service, quality of diamonds, ease of returns, price and overall experience. This will help you make the right purchasing decision.
