Wedding earrings: Is anyone else just wearing studs?

Rachel, on January 6, 2015 at 12:16 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 29

Let me start by saying that I have horrible metal allergies when it comes to wearing earrings. I've tried just about everything out there. I used to be able to wear gold then that changed for some reason. Well I was beginning to wonder if it was just because of where I was buying the gold earrings from. For Christmas FH bought me a really nice pair of diamond stud earrings that go nicely with my e-ring and the necklace that I plan to wear for the wedding. I was going to try to find a pair of dangly earrings from the same place (found out they're way out of my price range) and when I mentioned it to FH he said that he had bought these ones so I could wear them for the wedding.

So my question is, Is anyone wearing studs for their wedding jewelry?

    I wore white gold with a pearl drop, very small. I think stud earrings could look classy and beautiful.

    ETA: And if your FH bought them specifically for that, that's pretty special!

    Same as Jenn. Mine were white gold with a small pearl drop. Easy, simple, and classic. I think your diamond studs will be beautiful!

    I also have a lot of metal allergies. Take some clear nail polish and brush it over the post of the earring or the part of the jewelry that touches your skin. That helps me tons

    I'm not even wearing earrings (don't have my ears pierced). I think you'll look very nice with diamond studs.

    I strongly considered doing simple studs with my dress, but decided I need a little bit more pizzazz, so... I got bigger studs. LOL. I think diamond studs will be beautiful and timeless.

    Mine are just studs with a small drop...because my hair wont hold a curl to save its life, I HAVE to wear my hair up. And since I just don't like the way dangle earrings look with hair pulled back/up, I found these and love them!

    Like Samantha, I wore diamond studs that DH bought me for Christmas last year. I also have some horrible metal allergies (think duct tape on the inside of the button on a pair jeans). I will have issues even with earrings that have no nickel.

    I find that I get irritated initially with ANY new earring - gold, silver, sterling - whatever. If my ears can handle it, it will subside after a week or so. I was already past that point with the diamond studs that DH bought for me so I saw no reason to risk walking down the aisle with itching and inflamed ears Smiley smile

    I'm planning on wearing studs, probably pearls. I think it'll look good with my hair up, and a larger necklace, with my strapless dress. Diamond studs I'm sure will look lovely, and it's a nice touch that your FH bought them for you.

    I'm wearing my mom's sapphire studs. I think the diamond studs will look beautiful. I don't like tons of jewelry so since I will be wearing a three strand pearl necklace, I wanted to keep my earrings simple.

    I think studs will look great. I'm thinking of wearing opal studs.

    Crystal Avenues on Etsy...for the earrings, necklace and bracelet I paid $180 or so!

    Here's the bracelet, the earrings basically look like the drop stone in the middle but are studs!

    I've got the same problem with the earring irritation. I've had the best luck with surgical steel and 18KT (although even those have to come out after a few hours). For you, it's not about style, it's about metal. You may have gorgeous dangling earrings, but if you have to take them out after an hour, what's the point? If the studs are non-irritating, just pull your hair back so they show. Besides, in my opinion, there is nothing more elegant than a simple diamond stud.

    I think part of my problem was just that I always thought wedding jewelry had to be a bit more out there if that makes sense lol. My e-ring and necklace are both beautiful, but fairly simple and I love that because it is very me. I've had the studs in since a couple days after Christmas and I have had no problems with them at all and I can't even begin to explain how happy that makes me. I love that I can wear earrings again and that FH is the kind of guy that would buy them because he knew how much I wanted to be able to wear earring for the wedding Smiley smile

    I haven't picked out my dress yet, but I really wanted to wear my everyday diamond studs. My dad bought them for me as a birthday present, so I think it would be nice. Hopefully, they "go" with the dress I pick.

    Yay! You have earrings you can wear. That's a big deal for women with metal problems. If you've had them in for more than a week, you're good to go.

    I originally wanted to wear my mom's studs, then I looked at them again and they are way too small(like pin head size almost lol) I wanted to wear pearls and find a nice pair that dangle a little.
