The story: One of the first earrings in history, stud earrings are characterized by a unique precious metal design or a gem set on a straight shank. Originally the prerogative of men, from the nobility of Egypt and Ancient Greece to Imperial China, then of rebels when the Catholic Church forbade their wearing in medieval times, earrings only became a feminine accessory late in life. Now considered unisex, these stud earrings will adorn you whatever your style.
