A pair of studs is the piece most women put in and forget about. No size to get right, nothing to catch on a jumper, nothing that needs an occasion. Ours are made in 925 sterling silver, from plain everyday pairs to halo and pearl styles for something dressier — and each pair arrives in our pink gift box.
What Makes a Stud Different
A stud sits flat against the lobe on a short post, held with a butterfly or screw back. There is no drop and no movement, which is exactly why they suit everyday wear — they sit under a collar, behind a phone, through a gym class and a night out without being noticed or knocked.
That also makes them the easiest earring to buy for someone else. Style preferences vary. Comfort with weight and movement varies. A stud sidesteps both.
The Styles in This Collection
The range runs from plain sterling silver studs through to stone-set pairs. Dainty studs and circle studs are the quiet everyday options. Heart and starburst shapes give a little more character without becoming a statement piece. Halo and pave settings sit at the dressier end, with a centre stone framed by smaller stones for more light.
Finishes across the collection include 925 sterling silver, gold-plated and rose gold-plated, so a pair can be matched to what someone already wears rather than asking her to switch metals.
Kind to Sensitive Ears
Studs sit in the piercing all day, which makes the post material matter more than it does on any other earring. Ours use 925 sterling silver, which is hypoallergenic and well tolerated by most sensitive ears, without the nickel-heavy base metals that cause most reactions.
If you are buying for someone whose skin you do not know, that is a real advantage — you are not gambling on their tolerance.
Looking After Them
Sterling silver darkens with exposure to air, perfume, lotion and water. Take studs out before swimming or hard exercise where you can, put them in after perfume rather than before, and store them in the pink box or a soft pouch rather than loose in a dish.
A soft dry polishing cloth brings the shine back in seconds. Full guidance is on our jewellery care page, and every pair is covered by our six-month guarantee.
Buying a Pair as a Gift
For hygiene reasons earrings cannot be returned, so the safest gift is a versatile one — plain silver studs or a small halo pair work across almost any wardrobe and any age. Every pair arrives boxed, and gift bows and cards are available at checkout.
Browse the rest of the range in all earrings, or see huggie and hoop earrings if she prefers something that sits around the lobe. For more sparkle, the moissanite jewellery range covers stone-set styles. Pair a set of studs with a matching necklace or a ready-made jewellery set. For simple pieces she will wear daily, see everyday jewellery, and for a smaller budget, jewellery gifts under £50. Keeping a pair at its best is covered in our jewellery care guide.
