Shop stud earrings at BOLD in gold, sterling silver, diamond, gemstone, and pearl styles, sized from subtle 3mm everyday pieces to bold 8mm-plus statement studs. Studs are worn longer and more continuously than any other earring style (many people put them in and don't take them out for days) which makes post material and backing type the two decisions that matter most for comfort and skin health. We carry .925 sterling silver and 14k-and-above gold studs, with hypoallergenic post options for sensitive ears. Free shipping applies on orders of $199 or more.

A stud earring sits flush against the earlobe on a single post, with the design's visual weight concentrated in one central gemstone, pearl, or metal element rather than spread across a dangling design. That simplicity is exactly what makes studs the most versatile earring style, subtle enough for daily wear and work, and dressy enough for formal occasions, without switching pairs.
Stud earrings are measured by the diameter of the visible front, in millimeters, and size affects the look far more than most buyers expect going in.
Small and subtle. Suits professional settings, second or third piercings, or anyone who prefers understated jewelry.
The most popular range for everyday wear. Noticeable without reading as a statement piece, and versatile enough for both daily wear and dressier occasions. If you're buying one all-purpose pair, this is the safest range.
A genuine statement size, best suited to occasions where you want the earring to be the focal point rather than a background detail.
The post is the part of the stud earring that is actually located inside your piercing, and is more important for comfort and skin health than the front of the earring.
The standard gauge for most ear-lobe piercings is 20 gauge post (also known as about 0.8mm). This is the gauge used in the majority of ear studs sold. Some piercings like cartilage or higher lobe piercings may be 18 gauge (approx 1.0mm). When in doubt about which size of gauge will work for a piercing, a professional piercer can determine it in a matter of seconds.
The post that touches your skin is important to the piercing as well as what you see on the front of the earring, because the post is thinner skin and will be very reactive. Gold at 14k and above is good for sensitive skin as well as .925 sterling silver.
Gold plated items are only as hypoallergenic as the underlying metal which is visible on the surface, the moment the plating wears down, the underlying metal will begin to come into contact with the piercing directly, therefore a gold post with an identified underside metal will cause reactions even if the surface appears to read as gold.
If you have issues with hearing jewelry that you thought was safe, it is almost always the post and not the color or finish of the jewelry.
A classic, versatile choice symbolizing purity and timeless style, available in freshwater, Akoya, and South Sea varieties depending on budget and desired luster.
Cubic zirconia, turquoise, opal, sapphire, and amethyst studs bring color and everyday versatility at a range of price points.
The same brilliance, hardness, and durability as natural diamonds, at a meaningfully lower price point, since lab-grown stones cost less to produce without sacrificing quality.
The most common backing, simple to put on and remove, and comfortable for daily wear. Best for buyers who change earrings often.
A rubber or silicone sleeve that grips the post more securely than a standard push-back, offering extra peace of mind for daily wear without sacrificing ease of removal.
The most secure standard backing, threading directly onto the post. Best suited to heavier studs or an active lifestyle, since it's the least likely backing type to work loose.
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap before touching your earrings, to avoid introducing bacteria to your piercing. Then pull the front of the earring between the thumb and forefinger, keeping the backing firmly in your other hand as you pull the backing to straighten it off the post and then remove the earring from your earlobe.
When the backing feels "stuck", if the problem is due to product buildup around the hair, apply a warm compress to loosen the skin or product prior to reattaching the backing, DO NOT force if it is already attached. If the earring is truly stuck and the area appears irritated, a professional piercer can safely remove a stuck earring without risk of damage to the piercing.
Whatever your budget, from affordable stud earrings to luxury stud earrings, BOLD's collection of gold stud earrings, diamond stud earrings, and gemstone styles is built around the same standard: genuine materials, secure closures, and sizes that actually work for daily wear.
Single, do-everything pairs: 5–7mm is the most safe option; it's a statement piece without being too much, and it can work for both casual and formal wear. The smaller the size (3–4mm), the more professional the look will be, but the larger (8mm+) the size, the more the earring will stand out.
The majority of stud earrings feature a post size of 20 gauge (roughly 0.8mm), that is suitable for the majority of standard earlobe piercings. Instead, sometimes an 18-gauge post (approx. 1.0mm) is used with cartilage or higher lobe piercings.
Generally, solid gold jewellery at 14k or above is acceptable for sensitive skin. It's the post itself, gold-plated studs are as hypoallergenic as their base metal, so if the base metal isn't disclosed, the gold-plated post may cause reactions as the plating wears off.
Push-back (butterfly) closures are the easiest to close and unclose. Lock-back closures have an additional rubber or silicone sleeve to provide extra grip. The screw-backs fit on the post and provide the highest level of security - suitable for heavier studs or active lifestyle.
Before taking the earring out of the backing, wash your hands, and then pull the backing straight off the post, holding the front of the earring with your hands. If one feels difficult to remove, a warm compress may be used to loosen the backing – do not force it, and consult a professional piercer if it is not loosening easily.
Yes. Studs are worn longer and more consistently than any other type of earring, so post material and backing security is more important than for earrings that are taken in and out often.
Solid 14K or higher gold and .925 sterling silver (marked as such) are the safest options for wearing for extended periods of time. Do not take color or price as a substitute for metal stamps.
