Trending Women's Stud Earrings : A Comprehensive Guide to Styles and Fashion

Basic stud earrings are minimalist in design, typically featuring a single diamond or metal that sits directly on the earlobe. They’re known for their simplicity, making them a staple in any jewelry collection. They’re also comfortable and perfect for long wear, making them an ideal choice for a first pair.

Look for high-quality materials like sterling silver, gold, or platinum to ensure longevity. Consider your skin tone when selecting metals—gold stud earrings often complement warmer tones, while silver earrings suit cooler complexions. Round Brilliant, Oval, Emerald cut, and even Princess cut VRAI created diamonds offer timeless and versatile style, while fancy shapes like Marquise and Pear center stones can add a touch of romance and whimsy.

Basic stud earrings shouldn’t break the bank. VRAI offers studs at a variety of price points for every budget. Whether basic stud earrings for everyday elegance, or playful bezel studs that add a more metal-forward look to your style, there are looks for everyone.

The latest trending styles include asymmetrical pairs, mixed shapes, and dome designs. Diamond studs remain popular, but they’re now featured in more geometric silhouettes. Gold stud earrings with bold or artistic shapes are also having a moment. While it’s a good idea to look at trends for possible inspiration, never be afraid to choose timeless styles for looks you’ll love for a lifetime. These trending stud earrings pair well with both casual and formal looks. For daytime, try mixed shape studs or silver earrings with minimalist detailing. At night, opt for oversized gold or rose gold studs to make a statement. Stack with multiple piercings or mix with drop earrings for an elevated edge.

Although many fine jewelry brands offer trending stud earrings, make sure they are using materials that align with not only your style, but your values. VRAI studs feature diamonds grown in our zero-emission foundry in America’s Pacific Northwest—so you can feel good about what you’re wearing. And while it’s a good idea to understand what is trending for possible inspiration, never be afraid to choose timeless styles for looks you’ll love for a lifetime.
