Popular Gold Stud Earrings For Men & Women

Stud earrings have been a popular piece of jewellery amongst both men and women for decades, if not centuries. Although earrings are traditionally associated with women, stud earrings have in recent years become a fashionable piece for men too - David Beckham, we’re looking at you.

Earning their place as a truly unisex piece of jewellery, stud earrings can be styled a number of ways with a variety of outfits. In this blog, we’re looking at some of the most popular stud earrings for both men and women.

What Are Stud Earrings?

Stud earrings are a specific style of earring which features a centre point, often a singular diamond, attached to a backing which is fastened through the earlobe. Unlike hoop earrings and drop earrings, stud earrings are much more compact, often not extending past the size of the earlobe. The gemstones, metal type and colour can all vary depending on the design and style. 

How are stud earrings fastened?

Stud earrings are designed to be kept in place by a back, which can connect to the stud in various ways. The most popular fastenings are push backs, which use friction to remain in place, screw backs, which are twisted onto a screw thread to secure the stud in place and secure lock backs, which use grooves to lock the stud in place.
