Stud Earrings: A Timeless Staple with Endless Possibilities
There’s a reason stud earrings never go out of style. These small-but-mighty pieces of jewelry are the ultimate everyday essential—and they’re so much more versatile than you might think. Whether you’re looking for your first pair after a new ear piercing or the perfect gift for someone special, stud earrings always make a statement without trying too hard.
The History of Stud Earrings
Believe it or not, stud earrings have been around for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians wore simple gold studs as symbols of wealth and status. Over time, the designs evolved, but the concept stayed the same: a minimalist earring that sits close to the ear and adds just the right amount of sparkle. Today, stud earrings are one of the most beloved jewelry staples across cultures and generations.
Shapes, Stones, and Styles
Studs come in every shape and material imaginable—making them perfect for stacking, mixing, or letting them shine on their own. At Everglow Jewelry, we offer:
Classic round diamond studs: A forever favorite for good reason.
Heart-shaped studs: Romantic, feminine, and meaningful.
Moissanite studs: A sparkling diamond alternative that’s eco-friendly and budget-conscious.
Colored gemstone studs: From sapphires and rubies to aquamarine and tourmaline, these are great for adding personality or honoring a birthstone.
Minimalist gold studs: Geometric shapes, bars, and spheres in yellow, white, or rose gold.
Custom-designed studs: Want something no one else has? We can create stud earrings from scratch or repurpose old gold or gemstones from passed-down jewelry. You dream it—we’ll bring it to life.
Ear Piercing at Everglow Jewelry
Thinking of getting your ears pierced? We do that too! Everglow Jewelry offers professional ear piercing in Tampa Palms using sterile techniques and a curated selection of high-quality starter studs, including 14K gold and hypoallergenic metals. Whether it’s your first piercing or your fifth, our staff makes it a clean, comfortable, and fun experience.
Earring Backs: Friction vs. Screw vs. Locking
Not all backs are created equal, and the right one can make a big difference in comfort and security:
Friction backs (a.k.a. butterfly backs) are the most common and easy to use.
Screw backs twist on for added security—great for kids or valuable studs.
Locking backs snap into place and are harder to accidentally lose—ideal for daily wear or heavier earrings.
At Everglow, we help you choose the best back for your lifestyle and comfort.
Why Studs Make the Best Gift
From birthdays and anniversaries to graduation or “just because,” stud earrings are a go-to gift for good reason. They’re timeless, personal, and wearable every day. Add a birthstone or engrave the earring setting with a hidden message, and you’ve got something truly meaningful.
