Finding the Right stud-earrings for You

Stud earrings have a unique and rich cultural history. Though their design has evolved, vintage stud earrings are still a classic jewelry style.

Stud earrings are frequently dated back over 7,000 years to Asia, where they were worn mostly by upper-class men to indicate their wealth and status. Although earrings sometimes fell out of favor over the years — such as when ear piercing was prohibited by the Catholic Church in the 13th century — they’ve remained one of the most enduring forms of body modification.

When diamond jewelry gained prominence in the 19th century, thanks to prosperity in Europe and the United States as well as the greater accessibility of gemstones, studs adorned with fine diamonds became popular. Screw-back earrings debuted in the late 19th century and allowed people without pierced ears to don the embellishment. Stud earrings became especially popular in the 1960s.

Stud earrings are simple and usually small in size, making them lightweight and easy to wear. Unlike other earrings, stud earrings have a floating appearance. They are often made with a single gemstone, such as a sapphire or emerald, and a straight post that goes through the ear, typically with a rubber or metal backing to hold it in place.

Today, stud earrings accentuate outfits with a casual, elegant style, adding a bit of glam to any ensemble. Find an eclectic array of stud earrings on 1stDibs.

Questions About Large Stud Earrings
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    A CZ stud earring is a certain style of earring set made with cubic zirconia. Stud earrings are earrings that don't hang below the earlobe. Cubic zirconia is a manufactured alternative to diamonds formed out of zirconium dioxide. Shop an assortment of cubic zirconia stud earrings from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024
    Basket stud earrings are gemstone earrings with a specific setting. In the design, the gemstone rests upon a two-tier setting composed of thick circular wires. Four upright prongs extend from the bottom of the setting to the top and hold the gemstone in place. The design of the basket settings ensures security while allowing more of the gemstone to remain visible and close to the ear. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of basket stud earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023
    The best stud earrings are the ones that most appeal to you. If you like a subtle look or want something for everyday wear, a solitaire gemstone stud may be a good pick. Cluster studs that feature numerous gemstones arranged in a shape can add more sparkle or color to your ensembles. Another option is the halo stud, which features a large center gemstone surrounded by smaller accent stones. Beyond gemstone pieces, there are also studs featuring pearls, beads and precious metals formed into shapes like balls or crosses. Explore a wide range of stud earrings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    What stud earrings symbolize is a matter of opinion. For many people, stud earrings don't have a deeper meaning, and they wear them because they like their appearance or don't want something that hangs below their ears. To others, stud earrings may represent things like wisdom, confidence or beauty. Some styles may have special meanings. For example, stud earrings set with birthstones can signify what month of the year someone was born, while cross-shaped stud earrings may be associated with the Christian faith. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of stud earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    The main difference between post and stud earrings is specificity. A post earring is any earring that has a rod-like post that slips through the ear and is secured by a backing, while a stud earring is an earring that doesn't hang below the earlobe. Most stud earrings are also post earrings, but post earrings can include hanging styles like drops and dangles. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    Dangle stud earrings are generally just called dangle earrings. However, dangle stud is actually a misnomer, as the term "stud" refers to an earring that doesn't dangle or hang below the ear. When people say "dangle stud," they usually mean a dangle earring that hangs from a post -- a metal rod that fits through the ear and is fastened by a push-on backing. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of stud and dangle earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    The smallest earring stud size varies from maker to maker. Some jewelers offer stud earrings as small as 1.5 to 2 millimeters, though these smaller sizes tend to be best for wearing in ear piercings other than the first hole. As a result, makers may choose to start their sizes at anywhere from 3 to 5 millimeters. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of stud earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023
    To choose gold stud earrings, first consider what type of gold you prefer. Your options include yellow, white and rose gold. Next, determine what karat gold is right for you. Most earrings are 14-karat or 18-karat. Generally, 18-karat gold has a richer color due to its higher gold content, while 14-karat gold is stronger and more scratch-resistant because it contains more alloy metal. Once you've decided on a gold color and karat, you can compare the shape, size and other features of studs and select the ones that appeal most to you. Explore a large selection of gold stud earrings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023
    What type of diamond stud earring is the best depends on your preferences, as there isn't a single cut that is better than the others. If you like the look of sparkling studs, consider brilliant cuts like the round, heart and arrow, princess, oval, pear or marquise. Stepped cuts like the emerald, cushion and Asscher let the color and clarity of diamonds show through and can also be appealing choices. Shop a variety of diamond stud earrings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    The most popular shapes for diamond stud earrings include round diamonds and princess cut diamonds. But stud earrings, no matter the shape, generally add a bit of glam to any ensemble. Stud earrings are simple and usually small in size, making them lightweight and easy to wear. Unlike other earrings, stud earrings have a floating appearance. They are often made with a single gemstone, such as a sapphire or emerald, and a straight post that goes through the ear, typically with a rubber or metal backing to hold it in place.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023
    Yes, the cut matters for diamond stud earrings because it guides their appearance and shape. The round brilliant cut is a classic option with its tremendous sparkle and symmetrical shape. Other brilliant cuts to consider include the oval, marquise, radiant and princess cuts. Stepped cuts like the emerald and cushion show off diamonds' color and clarity more than their sparkle. Explore a large selection of diamond stud earrings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    Diamond stud earrings largely remain popular year after year.

    The best color available for diamond stud earrings is D. Only the finest colorless diamonds receive this rating. E and F diamonds are also highly ranked.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    Most experts agree that a prong setting is best for diamond stud earrings. Prongs help keep diamonds securely in place. Three-prong settings allow for more of the diamond to remain visible, while four-prong settings may be slightly more secure. For diamond stud earrings with weights of 2 carats or more, a six- or eight-prong setting can increase stability and security. Explore a large selection of diamond stud earrings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    A good carat size for diamond stud earrings is usually between .25 carat and 1 carat for everyday wear. For nicer occasions it is worth going larger to over 1 carat in size.

    The difference between 14K and 18K white gold stud earrings comes down to the content of the precious metal alloy. Stud earrings made of 14-karat white gold are 58.3% gold and 41.7% base metal, while 18-karat gold is 75% pure gold and 25% other metals. As a result, 14-karat white gold tends to be stronger and more resistant to scratching, and 18-karat gold will have a more noticeable warm-glowing yellow tinge.
