From Studs to Threaders: The Complete Guide to Every Earring Style You'll Ever Need
Stud Earrings: The Everyday Essential
Every jewellery collection starts with a great pair of studs.
Simple, timeless and endlessly wearable, stud earrings sit directly against the ear without dangling below the lobe. They're often the very first earrings we own, but they're far from basic.
Studs are perfect if you:
- Prefer minimalist jewellery
- Want an effortless everyday look
- Love layering multiple piercings
- Need earrings that work with every outfit
Today's studs come in everything from tiny crystals and pearls to celestial shapes and colourful gemstones, making them the perfect foundation for any ear stack.

Flat Back Earrings: The Comfortable Upgrade
If you've ever fallen asleep wearing butterfly backs, you'll understand why flat back earrings have become so popular.
Instead of a traditional backing, flat backs feature a smooth disc that rests comfortably against the ear. They're designed for all-day (and all-night) wear, making them especially popular for cartilage piercings.
They're commonly worn in:
- Helix
- Tragus
- Conch
- Forward Helix
- Lobes
For sensitive ears, our Implant Grade Titanium ASTM F-136 flat backs offer exceptional comfort while remaining lightweight enough for everyday wear.

Huggies: The Jewellery You'll Wear Every Day
If there was one style every jewellery wardrobe should include, it's a pair of huggies.
These small hoops sit closely against the ear, making them incredibly comfortable while adding just the right amount of sparkle.
Wear them alone for a clean, minimalist look or pair them with studs and cartilage jewellery to create a layered ear stack.
Because they're lightweight and secure, huggies quickly become the earrings people rarely take off.

Hoop Earrings: The Classic That Never Leaves
Hoops have been worn for thousands of years, yet they remain one of the most versatile jewellery styles available today.
From delicate everyday hoops to oversized statement designs, changing the size of your hoops can completely transform an outfit.
Small hoops create an understated look, while larger hoops instantly become the focal point.
Every jewellery collection benefits from having at least one everyday hoop and one statement pair.

Threader Earrings: Jewellery That Moves With You
Threaders are one of the most elegant styles available.
Made from an ultra-fine chain that gently threads through your piercing, they create beautiful movement with every step.
They're perfect for:
- Double piercings
- Evening outfits
- Layered styling
- Minimalist jewellery lovers wanting something different
Their effortless movement makes them one of the easiest ways to elevate an otherwise simple ear stack.

Ear Climbers
Ear climbers follow the natural curve of your ear, giving the illusion of multiple earrings while using just one piercing.
They're ideal for anyone who loves the curated ear aesthetic but isn't quite ready for another piercing.

Ear Cuffs
One of the easiest ways to experiment with ear styling is with an ear cuff.
No piercing required, simply slide it onto your cartilage for an instantly layered look.
They're perfect for trying new placements before committing to another piercing.

Cartilage Hoops
Not all hoops are designed for cartilage piercings.
Cartilage hoops are made in smaller diameters to suit placements like the helix, conch, tragus, daith and rook.
Choosing the correct diameter is just as important as choosing the style, ensuring your jewellery sits comfortably while complementing your anatomy.
