Sure, we love a pair of huge chaandbaalis, or long chandelier earrings, or statement jhumkas, or even hoops the size of bangles. But there’s something super chic about studs. Not only are they super elegant, but they won’t torture your earlobes unlike most earrings. If you are a bridesmaid-to-be, chances are that you are planning to wear heavy earrings for a bunch of consecutive days. In which case, you might want to switch things up a little, and wear studs one of these days, just to give your earlobes a much needed break. And just because they won’t swing with you when you're on the dance floor, doesn’t mean they’re not fun!
