studs

Earrings without dangles

Studs are upright posts in a wall frame—the vertical supports to which drywall or paneling attaches.

In clothing, studs are decorative metal fasteners or small ornamental buttons, especially on formal shirt fronts.

A stud is also a male animal kept for breeding, which extends to slang for a sexually attractive or active man: He thinks he's such a stud.

Studded means embedded with studs: a leather jacket studded with metal, snow tires with studs.
