Whether you’re looking to upgrade a current pair or add an extra sparkle to your everyday routine, these solid gold stud earrings are a great place to start. They’re the perfect size for day-to-night, sweats to silks, and everything in between. From dainty gemstones to chunky hoop styles, here are the best earrings you’ll find in a range of price points.
You’re sure to find the right pair of earrings for you in our curated collection of high-quality pieces from independent designers. We’ve also included a mix of sizes so you can build out your ideal ear stack, from a single hoop to a full-on ear stack of all the little gold touches. Depending on how much you’re willing to spend, you can opt for an ethically sourced piece that’s made with sustainable precious metals. If you’re looking to go for a more luxury option, this 18-karat gold pair of studs from Gucci will elevate any outfit and can take you from office to drinks with friends. We also love this simple stud set from Family Gold, which features dainty round and pear-shaped pearls that are sure to elevate every look.
If you’re more interested in a modern take on pearls, this pair from a brand that’s aiming to reinvent the gemstone will do the trick. It’s a mid-size option that won’t swallow up your lobe but is still big enough to make a statement on Zoom (and looks instantly polished on Instagram). If you prefer a more minimalist take on the style, this rounded stud from local brand Helen Ficalora is just as gorgeous.
If your piercing game is strong, you can also try this tiny key stud from the jewelry brand Studs. It’s a fun accessory that’s easy to wear and comes in a cute box for safekeeping. The company aims to replace the mall piercing shop by offering stress-free earscape experiences with professional needle piercing and quality jewelry that lasts.
The site’s Ring Concierge offers customization of your earscape, too. You can choose your studs from the brand’s own selection or use the service to pick out a custom cut that suits you from an outside jeweler. You can also buy the pieces by the pair or as a set. The site regularly updates its inventory with new styles, including a recent collaboration with the brand Notte that features whimsical beaded earrings. You can even get a customized ring that’s engraved with your initials for an added special touch.
