Earring Size Guide

Earring Size Guide

Whether you’re all about micro‑studs or shoulder‑skimming hoops, sizing is everything. Use this quick guide to visualize scale, balance your features, and curate a perfectly proportioned ear stack.

Micro Studs — 1–3 mm

Whisper‑thin sparkle, comparable to a pin head. Ideal for second and third piercings or subtle cartilage accents.

Petite Studs — 4–6 mm

Everyday elegance the size of a peppercorn. Perfect minimalist main lobe stud or accent piece.

Classic Studs — 7–9 mm

Think pencil‑eraser diameter. The timeless go‑to for solitaire diamonds and gem halos.

Huggie Hoops — 8–12 mm

Snug fit that hugs the lobe. Effortlessly stacks with studs and cuffs for a layered look.

Everyday Hoops — 13–25 mm

Versatile shine about the width of a nickel to quarter. Office‑friendly but still playful.

Statement Hoops — 30–50 mm

Eye‑catching hoops the size of a half‑dollar up to a cookie. Perfect for night‑out glamour.

Bold Hoops — 55–70 mm

Maximum drama—larger than a compact mirror. Ideal for runway‑worthy look and festival styling.

Ear Stack Tips

  • Balance weight: Pair bold hoops with micro studs for contrast.
  • Play with texture: Mix polished hoops with pavé studs or cuffs.
  • Mind the gap: Leave 2–3 mm between piercings for comfort and shine.
  • Keep it light: Opt for hollow gold in larger hoops to reduce pull.
  • Layer lengths: Drop‑earrings sit best below hoops; stagger lengths for flow.

Custom sizes or gauge?

I can tweak diameter, wire thickness, or gemstone size to fit your exact vision—because ears come in all shapes and stories.
