What are basket stud earrings?

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.
