What is the difference between stud and dangle earrings?

Stud earrings sit flush to the ear, while dangle earrings gently hang down from the earlobe. Studs tend to be smaller in size, and dangle earrings tend to have a slightly larger silhouette. Lightweight and comfortable, stud earrings are a popular choice for everyday jewelry , while dangle earrings are often reserved for dressier occasions.

What types of backs do stud earrings have?

There are many varieties of stud earrings, including some types designed for those who don’t have pierced ears: Push-back stud earrings: The most common design, push-back stud earrings attach to the ears with a thin post and a butterfly clasp or disc clip backing that keeps them secure. Flat-back stud earrings: Featuring a smooth, flat backside, this stud earring design fits flush against the ear using flat hardware instead of a traditional clasp or clip backing. Sometimes dubbed “nap earrings” because they don’t poke into the skin when you’re lying down, flat-back studs are a popular option for upper ear piercings. Screw-back stud earrings: This earring style uses a small threaded post that screws onto the back closure to keep them securely on the ears for long-term wear. Magnetic stud earrings: A pair of small yet powerful magnets attach to the front and back of magnetic studs, making them a popular choice for those without pierced ears. Clip-on stud earrings: Some small clip-on earrings give the appearance of studs, perfect for non-pierced ears.

What styles of stud earrings are popular?

Jewelry shops on Etsy make a wide variety of stud earrings for men and women. Choose small stud earrings made of gold or silver to make a minimalist, sophisticated statement. Bold, oversized large stud earrings accented with sparkling stones add drama to any outfit. Mix and match your earrings by wearing single stud earrings in a delightful assortment of materials, finishes, and designs for an on-trend, eclectic aesthetic. Many stud earring styles include nature-inspired motifs like delicate leaves, butterflies, or bumblebees. Studs adorned with stones like opal, turquoise, and amethyst add a glamorous touch to your look. Etsy sellers also offer many different customization options like choosing the materials, gemstones, and shapes of your set of stud earrings. Some styles are available as just a single earring while others come in a pair. You can mix and match these studs to create a one-of-a-kind set.

How do you style stud earrings?

Great news, stud earrings are one of the most versatile types of earrings to style! They look great in matched sets and shine as mismatched pairings in multiple piercings (stud earrings are a popular choice for stacking in multiple piercings). A common trend is to mix individual stud earring designs to create a mismatched and totally unique set. Diamond stud earrings , gold stud earrings , and pearl stud earrings are popular picks because their simple designs make them easy to style with most other types of earrings. Stacking birthstone earrings, like opal stud earrings , with hoops or other earring designs is a way to express your individuality—and birth month—with a pop of color.
