STUDS! Meryl Streep is the reason I got my ears pierced. I saw a photo of her in The Deer Hunter, wearing 7 mm akoya studs, and I thought, "I like that!" I bought inexpensive 7 mm pearl studs, which I wore for years. The pearl nacre was very thin. It was before I understood pearl culturing and pearl quality. I've since sold them, and bought 9 mm Hanadama studs from PP, which are so much more lustrous. I did not match my Hanadama earrings to my Hanadama necklace. My earrings are 9mm and pinked. My necklace is 8 mm and natural white. I like the size difference, and the pinked earrings looked better on my earlobes. Nobody can tell they don't match when I wear them.
I think I wear my Tahitian studs more than the akoya studs, because they feel more casual. The 10 mm peacock studs in the front are from Sarah at Ocean's Cove on Etsy. The rest of the studs are 9 - 9.5 mm. The pistachio studs are from Kojima. The 2 pairs of "black and white" studs are from Kamoka.
I'm having a hard time deciding which pair of studs is my favorite. But if I had to choose, it would be the black and white pair on the left. They seriously go with ALL my pearls. They look amazing with my white pearl necklaces. They look amazing with my Tahitian necklaces. I love mismatched earrings.
