I only ever seem to wear small pearl studs and I fancy a change but need some inspiration.

I love silver 'jingly' ones, not garish tacky heavy ones though!! Always make me feel better...

Small diamond studs, all of the time tbh.

Diamond Studs pretty much every day.

Small diamond studs for me too. Given to me by my mum and dad on my wedding day and I rarely take them out except if it's a special occasion and I want to put something glitzier on.

Diamond studs, mostly, but I do go through the odd phase of wearing dangly semi-precious stone ones. Whizzz made me some gorgeous labradorite ones.

none anymore, my ears flare up and get all itchy no matter what i wear my own stupid fault for having 8 holes put in at once (was an impetuous teenager) - they've never been the same since!

Small but thick silver sleepers or dangly silver or beady ones, usually just one medium sized bead, IYSWIM. But I make them so I can usually be quite particular.

Sometimes wear comedy earrings - witches for my daughter, dangly robots for my son, weird pink and white rubber ones, big hoops with dice for taking a chance, hoops with cupcakes all over them for DD's birthday party, but my diamond studs for special occasions and often none at all. Think long ones better with short hair - otherwise they just get involved in my tangles.

several ball closure rings, a barbell and a steel tunnel

Daily ones are small diamond hoops (difficult to describe!) - two rows of little diamonds, to match my eternity ring.

Which looks really stupid because I forgot about my name change!

Always dangly silver ones with a stud in the 2nd piercing in right ear. Dont do gold!

Change my ear rings daily, depending on outfit, how I'm wearing my hair and other accessories. I have lots of costume jewellery pairs and some very special and treasured pairs ranging from hoops, shoulder scraping chandelier style danglies to precious stone studs / metal studs. Today I?m wearing a little dangle of silver leaves.

diamond studs on unimaginative days or when I'm wearing a necklace that'd compete

otherwise a variety of long or short beaded / semiprecious danglers
M&S are surprisingly good

can't bring myself to wear hoops though - when I was small my mother once told me they were common and I now just can;t

I find I am wearing earrings less and less these days. I prefer to wear a necklace instead.

There,that gripped you, didn't it.

Thanks for the ideas. I think I may start angling for diamond studs for my birthday.

It depends. Today silver coloured chandelier earrings with purple beads (Matalan). I have lots of dangly earrings so tend to mix and match.

I have some lovely pearl ones, white gold small hoops and cheapie cubic zirconia ones. I would like some diamond studs but I do tend to loose them.

nonono

if you have nice-but-boring studs already don't waste a birthday present on diamonds when for the same price you could get 20 pairs of pretty drop earrings from M&S / Accessorize/ etc
