stud earring

Simple ear adornment

A stud earring is a small earring that sits directly on the earlobe without dangling.

It typically consists of a decorative front piece—a gemstone, pearl, or simple metal ball—attached to a post that passes through the pierced ear and fastens in back: She wore diamond studs to the interview.

Studs are the most basic and versatile earring style.
