What size stud earrings should I get?

Earring studs may be large and mind-blowing in their size and allure. They may also be minuscule yet endearing. And indeed, they can also be found in every proportion and style in between. Asymmetric pairs with different sizes and designs too are a skyrocketing trend.

Lobes are the traditional place for a piercing but cartilage piercings along the ear helix and on the conch and tragus have also become very popular. Every ear and piercing is different, so not every earring size will fit or look the same for everyone.

Stud earring sizes can vary from 0.25-4cm. In general, a 1cm (0.39") stud may cover or sit on your earlobe comfortably.

Small stud earrings

Small stud earrings come in great varieties of colours and patterns. Classic designs such as floral motifs and single-stone/pearl studs are always in vogue. In addition to these, there are now abstract creations that reflect the pristine energy and forms of nature. Great for daily wear, these are typically very comfortable to wear long-term.

Which piercing style should I choose?

Long gone are the days of single ear piercings. Contemporary styles embrace the dictum of “the more, the merrier”. Multiple ear piercings allow for endless and unique combinations of earrings, including pierced earring studs of varying sizes and styles.

Aside from the conventional ear lobe piercings, there are many popular and highly customisable styles. Daith and tragus piercings are for the inner ear cartilage. The helix style has a piercing anywhere on the upper and outer ear cartilage. Conch piercings are located in the middle part of your ears. Some styles traverse the ear lobe. The mini stud earrings are intended for these piercings.
