Diamond Studs-A Style Statement

A stud is a simple style of earring for pierced ears that has a single stone or metal ball on a straight post with no dangling parts. The earring appears floating on the earlobe without a visible point of connection. Studs are invariably constructed on the end of a post which penetrates straight through the ear. The post in the earring is held in place by a removable friction back or clutch. The stud earring is constructed in the manner so that the post is threaded, allowing a screw back to securely hold the earring in the right place.
