Stud Earrings

Stud earrings may be small, but there is a surprising amount of variety once you start looking at older pairs. A simple pearl or diamond stud can be very understated, while a vintage knot, cluster or coloured gemstone design can have much more presence. Here you’ll find antique, vintage and preloved earrings in gold and sterling silver, from neat everyday pairs to more decorative designs.

Because studs sit close to the ear, a few millimetres can make quite a difference to how they look when worn. I include the size, post and back fitting, metal marks, hallmarks and stone details wherever possible, particularly with older pairs where screw backs or other fittings may be found instead of a modern butterfly.
