Studs is revered for its affordable, high-quality earrings and plentiful selection, providing customers with comfortable, durable jewelry for daily wear. The brand also offers a mix-and-match option that customers appreciate. However, the customer service experience is inconsistent and occasionally poor, which has deterred some potential buyers. Additionally, there have been complaints about earrings tarnishing over time and causing allergic reactions due to nickel content in supposedly hypoallergenic earrings.

I love all the collabs and options they have, I have worn the ear huggers and hoops for a while and have not degraded in quality! They last a bit, but I did eventually see some wear and tear like other cheaper earrings, but that is often after always keeping on to shower / sleep. I do have sensitive ears and have found these work perfect for me!
Feedback
The price point is a bit steep per earring as they are often sold as singles, but I have found cute ones that always justify the price point.

Really bummed about Studs! I love the look and feel of this brand but the quality is lacking imo. The posts of these earrings are thicker than usual and the jewelry itself broke after one wear.

Had a great experience at the piercing studio in the Century City LA mall! It made getting piercings less intimidating. I also like the jewelry. Though I try to only buy fine or demi-fine jewelry now so don't own very many pairs of Studs earrings, I enjoy the styles they do offer.

LOVED my experience at the Studs location in Williamsburg. The ladies there were so sweet and helpful. They really took their time in helping me build an ear-stack and choosing the earrings. I have only worn the piercing quality earrings from Studs and they are super super nice ad not incredibly expensive (however when I bought them they were running a promotion). The earrings have lasted over a year and look exactly the same and I wear them every day and hardly every take them out (in the shower, pool, gym, etc.)

I really love the affordability of Studs and how stylish it is. They are constantly bringing new styles and you can purchase either as a single or pair. Packaging is also fun to unpack as it comes with stickers a few times I received a scratch-off coupon too.

Really want them to have more silver options and the stock was more consistent.

Great experience getting pierced, love that they offer free downsizing. I got two piercings (already had 8) and will likely go back. I wish they had more products in white gold for medium and tan girlies with neutral or olive undertones. We don’t do yellow gold, and your competitors (Maria Tash) have more options for us.

I got pierced at a Studs pop-up in Boston before they opened on Newbury Street. The whole experience was catered to me, the girl who pierced me was so friendly and informative, and all the jewelry is high quality and adorable! I don’t wear earrings often, but all the ones I own are now from Studs. I love love love the mini Huggies the most! When ever you order online they also provide the cutest neon clean pouch and stickers!

I have both spent... a lot... of money on their website and have gotten my ears pierced in Austin. It's good quality for the money (if you're looking for forever earrings, these aren't it. they are good for an extended period of time but aren't comparable to like $500 gold earrings if you know what I mean). I love the ability to change my earrings to fit my style and not the 85 year old style that seems to be at every other earring place.

I got my ears pierced at the Soho location in NYC and have purchased a number of earrings in person and online. Love every pair, and love that you can purchase a single earring or the set. Everything is so cute and affordable, I buy almost all of my earrings here! I will wear them in the shower and working out and so far have had no issues with wear and tear.

lots of packaging - paper, plastic, etc when shipped. Could do with less.

I love the aesthetic of their stores and the piercing service & jewelry is pretty affordable. When I went in store, people have been super helpful and the aftercare they provide is pretty good as well.

I would love a little more variety on the piercing jewelry.

After having sub-par experiences with ear piercing at tattoo shops and high-end jewelry stores, booking an appointment at Studs was such a source of joy. It was painless, efficient, and joyful (a tall order for someone sticking a needle in your ear :)) I love their earrings and haven't experienced any tarnishing or irritation. Also love that they sell their deadstock on Depop.

I'd love to be more involved in the brand! Would love if they ran an editorial blog and/or wanted to offer more events

I got my ears pierced here. Everything was very clean, professional, easy and studs has great branding, although I did feel that it was a little bit overpriced for what it was and that the options for piercing studs were limited. But in the end I’m glad I got my ears pierced there - I had no infections and they were super nice.

I had a really positive experience at the studio getting my third earlobe piercing. Everything was pristine and sanitized. The nurse did an excellent job, overall it was very enjoyable. I’ve even purchased a few gold plated earrings since then. My word of warning though is for the flat backed earrings. I got them as my initial piercing pair because I thought the flat back would be more comfortable than the butterfly back. I WAS SO WRONG. It’s like a little battering ram when you lie down on your side to sleep (which I do). Very unpleasant, so I recommend the butterfly backs if you’re a sensitive sleeper. I mention this here because I went with a friend and we wish someone would have warned us!!!

Got my conch pierced at the Wynwood location in Miami. The piercing healed fine, but there is now a black ring around the piercing. I kept in the jewelry that they originally put in, so not sure how that happened. I have other piercings and have never had that happen with the original jewelry.

Really cute stuff. Supposed to be high quality but my earrings broke within a month.

Not truly for "sensitive ears". My ears are allergic to nickel and Studs would claim they gave me hypoallergenic earrings but I would come to find out that they still continue to have nickel in them. I went and bought the expensive real gold earrings and they broke...not once but TWICE.. was very disappointed.

I've gotten a few orders from Studs and have loved everything that I've ordered. I never take my earrings out (cartilage piercings) - wear them in the shower, ocean, to bed, working out, etc. and never have any any problems. They come at a pretty good price point too and have cute designs (although I've mostly gone with standard ones).
