diamond stud earrings

Diamond stud earrings are always amongst the most on-trend and popular accessories. They come in various precious metals such as rose gold, white gold, and yellow gold. Most people wear studs when they first get their ears pierced. The classic stud is a timeless addition to absolutely any jewellery box. These earrings are easy to wear and look both understated and elegant. Four-claw diamond stud earrings are classic jewellery pieces, whilst metal stud earrings adorned with small diamonds will sparkle and shimmer in the sunlight. Diamond studs are both incredibly practical and spectacularly beautiful, earning a place as a work accessory or looking glamorous for a night out. For the best value, it is recommended that the diamonds have a similar carat weight with a maximum difference of 0.05 carats. The colour and clarity grades of the diamonds should not be emphasised as they will not be noticeable in small stud earrings. The cut quality of the diamonds should be between Excellent and Good for the liveliest diamonds. The diamond studs from Abelini range in a variety of sizes, colours and styles.

Usually consisting of a small gemstone or simple metal design, the main difference between stud earrings and dangling or hoop earrings is that they sit close to the earlobe and don’t hang down. Stud earrings come in various styles, sizes, and materials. And, because they are simple but also elegant, both women and men like to use them to complement a wide range of hairstyles and outfits.

Now, just because studs are small, it doesn’t mean they have to be boring! Our collection includes several different shapes and gemstones - from gold and silver stud earrings to earrings featuring beautiful matching diamonds, halos, and clusters.

Stud Earring Materials

Stud earrings come in a wide range of materials, including gold, silver, platinum, and various gemstones.

For example, a traditional and classic choice is yellow gold, as the hue complements many skin tones. White gold, which is often plated with rhodium, can also give your studs a brighter and whiter finish. A more affordable option is sterling silver. This is the perfect choice if you want a more modern look, although you might have to care for them a little more to prevent tarnishing.

Some people choose platinum for their small stud earrings. Platinum is known for its durability and is also a hypoallergenic material. It also has a natural white lustre and is resistant to tarnish. And, of course, there’s also stainless steel and titanium! The first is durable and affordable (perfect for a more modern aesthetic), and the second is lightweight and corrosion-resistant (ideal if you have sensitive skin).
