I have a small percentage of clients who require something in their ears in order to feel fully dressed. And if you’re familiar with my philosophy on accessories, you can imagine how I struggle with finding earrings that are stylish but not too stylized.

Many gravitate toward diamond studs but don’t clean and polish them so they wear well. Pearl studs are lovely but suggest a classic, even preppy sensibility that doesn’t work with all outfits.  CZs (cubic zirconia) lack imagination.

These studs (pictured) are the ideal everyday piece for the earring-dependent. Also available in rose gold and rhodium plated, they are reminiscent of the Cartier’s LOVE collection but without its steep price tag. In other words: perfect.
