  1. Shopping Guide: Teeny tiny stud earrings

    Shopping Guide: the best teeny tiny stud earrings, by We Are Scout. We really are spoilt for choice when it comes to shopping for earrings, with a wide range of gorgeous shapes, styles and materials that are perfectly on trend right now. I'm relatively new to the earrings market, having had virgin ears for the first 40 years of my life. So ever since I got my ears pierced last year, I've been immersing myself in this brand new world of accessorising. And my, I've had fun!

    One trend that has emerged over the past year are teeny tiny stud earrings. I'm talking about anything that's smaller than 1cm in length and width (and closer to 5mm in width). Some are so miniature, the designer advises that you take them "on and off while leaning over a flat surface. Or, just never take it off!" While some of the more minimalist styles recall high-school-approved plain studs (a nod to normcore, perhaps?), other miniature studs are anything but simple. Mix and match your miniature studs and adorn your ears in a constellation of tiny gems (for those with multiple piercings), or go for a dainty solo statement with a singular precious gem. Here's my round-up of the best teeny tiny studs, starting at just £5. We-Are-Scout_shopping_guide_banner2 We cannot display this gallery Tell me: have you embraced the teeny-tiny stud trend? Solo or multiples? Gold, white-gold, rose-gold, copper or silver? Geo or oraganic shapes? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Next week, I'll be rounding up the best statement earrings.
