Stud Earrings

A gold stud earring is the piece you put in and forget about. It has to work under a scarf, under a hat, under headphones, against a phone pressed to the ear. It has to not irritate skin, not catch on fabric, not weigh down the lobe, and not go dark at the post. Every gold stud earring in this collection is solid 14k or 10k gold, built piece by piece in our Athens workshop with posts and backs cast from the same alloy as the visible face.

The post is where most earrings fail first. Plated earrings lose their coating at the post because it spends its entire life in contact with the lobe, and friction strips the plating fast. What you see as a dark ring around the piercing is the base metal showing through. Our posts are solid 14k or 10k gold. There is no coating, so there is nothing to lose.

What you will find in this collection: For minimal everyday studs, see our diamond stud options and our solid gold geometric studs. For pavé-set diamond studs with multiple small stones, browse our small diamond earrings. For a layered stack of studs across multiple piercings, see our curated earring stacks. For helix and cartilage piercings, explore our helix and cartilage earrings.

Studs are the anchor of any ear stack. The smallest solid gold pair sits quietly in the first lobe piercing and lets a hoop or huggie work next to it without competing. For pairing, see our huggie earrings and gold hoop earrings. For the full gold earring range, browse our gold earrings collection or our 14k gold earrings.

Every gold stud earring ships free within the US and is naturally hypoallergenic. Solid gold. No nickel, no reactions, even on sensitive skin.
