12 Pairs Of Stud Earrings To Add To Your Jewellery Box Now
Ear candy that won’t overwhelm.
Earrings are all about the ornamental. But sometimes what you want is a pair of studs — small, no dangle — to consistently rely on. Local names like Meadowlark and Zoe & Morgan prove that there’s ample choice for a final flourish, from tiny bows rendered in sterling silver like ribbons on a present, to sparkling stars of evergreen chrome diopside. Elsewhere, Pandora and Swarovski, leaning into clusters of precious gems, make a case for flowers that will never wilt.
