Jewellery Size Guide

Stud earrings are typically measured by their diameter, which refers to the width of the earring face. Here's a description of how to measure stud earring size:

Choose a pair of earrings: Select the stud earrings you want to measure. Stud earrings come in various styles, shapes, and sizes, ranging from small and subtle to larger and more noticeable.

Prepare a ruler or measuring tape: Get a ruler or a measuring tape that displays inches or millimeters. Make sure it's long enough to measure the diameter of the earrings.

Lay the earrings flat: Place one of the stud earrings on a flat surface, such as a table or a countertop. Ensure that the earring is facing upward and that any decorative elements or settings are visible.

Measure the diameter: Hold one end of the ruler or measuring tape at the widest point of the earring face. Measure across the earring from one edge to the opposite edge, passing through the center. Take note of the measurement.

Convert the measurement if needed: Depending on the measuring unit used (inches or millimeters), you might need to convert the measurement to a more common unit for easier comparison when shopping for earrings. For example, if your measurement is in inches, you can convert it to millimeters by multiplying it by 25.4.

Consider your preferences and style: The size of stud earrings can vary significantly, from tiny studs that sit close to the earlobe to larger studs that make a bolder statement. Consider your personal style, the occasion, and your comfort level when choosing the size of stud earrings.

When shopping for stud earrings, you can use your measured diameter as a reference to find similar-sized earrings or choose the size that aligns with your preferences. Keep in mind that the overall design, material, and gemstone or embellishments on the earrings can also contribute to their appearance and suitability for different occasions.
